Not sure how it will go but I'm excited!

Last weekend, I FINALLY got the motivation to see a singing coach. I've been putting it off for so many years but decided I should be doing things that I want / need to do because one day I will regret not even trying. I wanted to ask this woman if she thought I even sounded good and if it's even worth me trying to sing anymore. Her name is Sarah and she is an awesome woman. I felt pretty comfortable with her straight away which is good. I was nervous but comfortable. She also had coaching from Susan Boyle's singing coach! We did some scales and vocal warm ups together and she told me she was impressed with how high I can sing notes. I didn't understand why at the time, but Sarah handed me a tall jug that had water and soap in it. She put a straw in the jug and told me to take a breath, then slowly blow into the water. As I was doing that, bubbles started to rise and was nearly reaching the top. When I finished she was impressed with that too. It was a fun trick she learned to test how much air one can hold when singing. She got me to sing Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper. She told me she was impressed with that too! She also set up the microphone for me to sing into but she made me feel happy when she said that she didn't do that until she felt the person she was giving lessons to was more advanced in signing. So I got to do it first lesson! After I sang the song again with the microphone, I looked at her and she had tears in her eyes. She said "I don't know what you were thinking about but I could actually feel the emotions coming out." We did some more singing and basically I need to work on the breathing techniques. Which I have been practicing at home. Now for the BEST part! I told her that I used to write a lot of songs and have always dreamed of putting them online ( hence my other discussion I did about trying to find a YouTube name ). Sarah told me, that if I record myself singing my songs, she will get me to meet this producer, who will put music to it, master it, will let me pop them up on YouTube and MAYBE, give to a radio station. I say maybe because I just don't want to get my hopes up even though Sarah told me the chances were high. IF I can do that then I will start to get some royalties every time it's played. Which is another bonus. It will cost me a bit of money to hire this producer but....I've spent way too much time, effort and money on people ( thinking of ex boyfriends right now ) who never appreciated it or appreciated me. It's MY turn to spend that time, effort and money on things I've been wanting to do. Whether this is successful or not, at least I can always look back and say that I tried.
