Performance Enhancement

[gruffalo]

i just had a concert tonight (singing) and i was really worried about my throat because i was recovering from a recent cold and flu. so i drank like 2 litres of water throughout the day, and as i was waiting for my turn in the concert (there were a few performers) i really needed the toilet, but i couldnt go. this really heightened my nerves. when i got on stage i was almost bursting, but i still went ahead with it and somehow i gave a "mindblowing performance" (thats quoting from what someone told me after). i dont know if that was from the adrenaline or from the over-loaded bladder. i sang a Benjamin Britten recital, which my teacher said i have a natural nack to sing. So was it me or the urine?

has anyone else had an experience similiar to this?

Try to do it again. Then you will know.

If you didn't loose the water, then it stayed in your body and perhaps made your vocal chords moist. I'm serious!

well, i did go to the toilet about 10 minutes before the concert. i was performing about 25 minutes into the concert. i had drank so much water i needed to go again. I think i was well prepared for the concert anyway. my last concert was very successful aswell (without the bladder problem).
