Any of yโall have recs where to find a good artist for character art? I got one piece thatโs itching my brain and alas I draw like a kindergartner who just discovered that they can draw with more than just the blue Crayola crayon. So I must outsource to those superior to me.
Lady Violet Bridgerton is hot and Iโm not afraid to say it

Yesterday's Grand Slam Final was nothing short of phenomenal. Every poet left it all on that stage in a spectacular showcase of the power, poignacy, and range of spoken word poetry. Thank you so much to all of our slammers, and congratulations to our new 2025 Loud Poets Champion Aditya Narayan!
This was the first slam I ever attended and I had an absolute blast. Everyone was brilliant! Canโt to see more in the future ๐ฅฐ

She said my breath control was better than every student at the uni sheโd met โ breath control used to be my BIGGEST ISSUE
Now weโre working on my diction (I tend to drop the end of my words in a phrase) and confidence but ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ my soprano end of my voice is a professional now ๐ฅฐ
More good notes from my new vocal instructor where I legitimately almost teared up:
โYour higher register is already at the professional caliber, but we need to work on your lower notes.โ Okay I can do that! BUT EXCUSE ME PROFESSIONAL??? AHHH
โYou have incredible breath control.โ
Thank you! Iโm overall alright just very stressed due to โจdeadlinesโจ
