Forgive me if this should be posted in another section of the forum; I'll remove it if I need to!
Sometime in June 2022, I'll be performing more than 20 of Shania's songs live on Twitch (with video). This is a "just because" kind of situation because I've been a super fan of hers since around 1998 and have been belting out her songs pretty much every day since then, but never had any real audience to share my joy with.
There are a couple conditions for the performance:
1) The songs will be sung completely by me, and be backed by official instrumentals. If I am unable to find an official instrumental to a particular song, I will use a fan-made karaoke track that sounds nearly indistinguishable to the actual song. If I am unable to do THAT, then I will perform the song with only my vocals and my guitar, so look forward to that. :3
2) Once I begin the performance, I will not look at Twitch at all. This means I will not see any viewers or their comments until after the performance is finished. This is because I am a shy person and I don't need any distractions due to direct comments.
I am not looking to gain viewers or subscribers... I have been a very shy person most of my life and I'm trying to alleviate the hardship it's been causing me by doing things similar to this, such as livestream video games and becoming an Uber driver in real life.
Here is a sample of "I Wanna Get To Know You (That Good)!" that I recorded earlier today:
Please forgive the weird echo in my voice... I was just trying something. XD It won't be like that at all when I livestream the performance.
Here is the link to the Twitch page it will be streaming from in June:
Update: I'll be performing 28 songs, spanning from The Woman In Me album (1995) all the way through her NOW album (2017). The livestream itself will take about two hours due to short breaks in-between songs, of course. Also, I'm bumping up the performance date to April, sometime between the 21st - 28th. I'll give an exact day a couple weeks in advance.
I'll be performing an original song that I wrote back in 2005 if anyone wants to hang around until the end to hear it. :3
And we have an official date and time (this could still change, but I'll be sure to make another post if it does)!
I'm calling this the "I'm Not In the Mood (to Say No)!" performance (hint: that's the name of one of her songs. And, yes, it's one that I will also be singing)! I feel like this is an appropriate title since I'm just not in the mood to say no to singing and being shy, anymore!
I'll be interacting with the chat at the very beginning, just to make sure all the audio is working correctly. During the mid-way point, during the intermission, I will also interact briefly with the chat before continuing. And then I'll interact with the chat a bit at the end. :3
