Viable excuses follow:👽
- I was having a helluva time remembering the words for some reason! After so many attempts, I just finally went with it. 😏
So, disregard those times and just sit back and enjoy. 👻 - I'd changed my makeup SEVERAL times in preparation and I was pretty pooped when I was actually ready to record.
Since we're talking about makeup...
I was attempting to first, look like a freaky doll. The effect worked in still shots but was REALLY hard to keep my eyes WIDE 👀 open the entire time recording. Thus, I ended up deciding that when my eyes were closed, the bottom white part made it appear I had no irises! Perfect! This effect doesn't work ALL the time, I probably should have moved less and kept my face pointed up more. However, it IS pretty creepy a few times in there, so I'm saying

I know many folks simply record themselves playing, but I REALLY love being able to use and learn more about video editing. Plus, with a theatre performance background, I'm pro hamming it up whenever I can.

For me, ALL parts of the performance, including before and after are important. It's like I get to produce a mini production every week. 😍 I'm assuming they will get more entertaining as I learn more. At least, that's what I'm hoping. 😁
If anyone thinks I SHOULD NOT be entering Open Mic (or Karaoke) because of my desire to make each one a production, just let me know. 😌 I'm sure I can find other outlets for my weird creativity..ness. 🤣
To be totally clear: I do NOT edit my voice, nor do I cut internally. I mostly just cut a little at the beginning and the end (when I'm reaching for the mouse) and add words and stuff. I'm a Libra, so fair is LITERALLY (👈used as it was always meant to be) the thing in the forefront of my mind at all times.

I bet you're wondering if there's even a video at this point! 😆
You've been very patient. I appreciate that. 😍

Wow nice job
Brilliant. Halloween revenge.
What a lovely post. Happy Halloween! Thanks for showing me the Bitmoji thing. I'll check it out.
These are funny lyrics. When I can't remember lyrics I would write them down on paper and like magic, I would remember them.
Great costume BTW!
That's a great tip on lyrics. If ever I have trouble memorizing anything, this method works like a charm.
Thank you so much! I DO have fun. 🙃
Amusingly, I did not try to write them down. And... I totally just recorded a Karaoke entry (different song) and had word troubles. LOL!
Next time, I got this. 😍
HILARIOUS, I think the effort you put into your performances is amazing. You go gurl!
I kinda feel like I spend TOO much time.
Today for instance... I did makeup for a LONG time today.... LOL!
But I'm cute! 😂
The ukelele plus your make up and costume plus your too beautiful voice are a perfect combination! I wanna go to your house and stay lol.. ❤❤❤
Yay!

As the song states, "You're Always Welcome at Our House." But... I promise not to .... keep you.. 👀
