What is your name? Um... [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=16) My name's Amanda. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=18) Hi, Amanda. And, and how old are you, Amanda? [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=22) Um... Uh, uh, I'm 19 years old. Where are you from? [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=31) Uh, I'm from Connecticut. Okay. And what are you gonna be doing for us tonight? [0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=37) Uh, uh, as you could probably tell, uh, I have a bit of a [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=49) speech impediment. Um, and, uh, it was definitely something that caused me to, um, to shy away, uh, and to hide. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=70) Uh, but I found that I that I don't stutter when I sing. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=81) Oh, wow. Is it going to be a song we know? [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=85) Is it an original? Uh, I will be singing, uh, a song that I wrote, and it's just about some hard times, uh, and if I could go back and change those things, I wouldn't, because they made me, me. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=114) Wow. Well, I cannot wait to hear. Good luck. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=130) I hope she's good. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=136) Come on. Uh-oh. It's okay. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=149) I still remember that kid afraid to open the door. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=156) And now she's grown and she doesn't keep that fear anymore. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=162) It was kept in a box and it locked, she held the key. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=169) But now the box is locked and the key is nowhere to be seen. [2:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=175) Oh my gosh. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=179) But what if I could go back in time and change the way I felt about my life? [3:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=191) Oh, but then would I still have inside everything that brought me back to life? [3:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=209) I still remember that kid wanting to be more. [3:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=215) But now she knows that she's worth more than what she's been told. [3:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=222) She tried her best to be best and just forget the rest. [3:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=228) But the rest is the best and it's what you get, so just let go. [3:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=238) But what if I could go back in time and change the way I felt about my life? [4:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=251) Oh, but then would I still have inside everything that brought me to life? [4:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=275) Oh my God. That's incredible. [4:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=297) I, I see you're really emotional. What are you, what are you thinking? [5:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=301) It's just crazy. I couldn't... There were times when I was a kid where I was like, [5:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=313) like, I can never do anything like this. [5:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=315) Like, I'm not good enough. [5:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=320) You are good enough. Yes. [5:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=330) Good enough doesn't explain what we just heard. [5:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=334) It's not only good, it's great. And look how you're moving this audience, and I believe you're moving millions of people right now at home. [5:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=344) I just wanna say thank you. What did you think, Heidi? [5:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=348) You have a really, really beautiful voice. [5:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=351) I love your voice. There's a fire inside of you, and I wanna see more of it. [5:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=358) I loved it. I thought it was so authentic. [6:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=361) Thank you for having the guts to follow your heart. [6:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=365) Amazing, Amanda. I mean, come on. I mean, look, it's... [6:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=369) I mean, you spoke to us very honestly about the issues you have with your speech, and it's terrifying auditioning when you don't have an issue like that. [6:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=379) And then you were amazing. I mean, your voice is so pure, so beautiful. [6:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=384) And also, you're a good songwriter. And I think you're an incredible person. [6:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/duB9g7GrRfIZ/en/amanda-sings-an-original-song-about-overcoming-fear-at-her-audition?t=388) I'm so happy you came here.
