Chapter 29: Perfect Feeling

Despite having been told Ava, but they still couldn't be nervous. One by one the teams come in and they sit on the side giving a place in the middle to perform. The trainers who were at once the choreographers sitting at the table waited for everyone to come in. Even Keegan was present with them.

“Now, we will do an evaluation. Everyone has practiced a lot, right?” tanay Keegan opens the show.

“Ya!” answer all the trainees with a smile even though they are nervous.

“Good, once because this time we have the choreographers from the songs you bring. They're here to evaluate and give you all.” said Keegan telling her the purpose this time. “No need to linger, let's start.”

They started calling the first team that was going forward. “Tim Butterflies.” call Keegan ask this team to advance first.

This Butterflies team contains women who match the concept of soft and pure. Even many trainees have very good vocals there. Samone won from a vocal position with a voice that suited a sweet song like Butterflies. But unfortunately, this team only has Samone who is ranked in the top five and the rest are ranked lower. This team may be one of those who do not need more training because they actually reduce the members and do not add.

They start with the questions of the coaches first. Check who is the center and who holds certain positions.

“For this team, lead vocalist trainee Samone.” says Paris sees that the vocal champion holds this important position.

“For Center...” said Vincent and scanned the trainee and found the center was Ellie. “Oh, the center of this song is trainee Ellie.”

Their team nodded simultaneously.

“Well let's hear your singing.” said Vincent told them to start.

The Butterflies team performed their full singing. This song has a high enough tone so that some of the team members have a little difficulty to sing it stably. But at least they were good enough to sing it this time. It looks like Samone is giving her members a lot of practice to be able to sing stably.

When they finished, the coaches paused to digest what they were going to say.

“Your voice is still a little unstable.” Vincet said. “But much better than before.”

“True, it is very better but still not enough for you to show on stage.” said Paris with a bit of a frown.

“You still have to strengthen again, your voice is at risk of becoming unstable.” said Keegan. “Let's see your dance now.”

Although in the criticism of the team is encouraging and preparing to display the entire choreography. Their dance performance this time can be said to be too ordinary and a bit lacking. They dance well but the feeling as it should be this song should be on show is nonexistent at all.

The choreographer of the song immediately frowned as soon as he saw the team dancing but focused more on memorizing rather than feeling the feeling of the song. So when they finished performing it, this choreographer immediately criticized them before the others.

“This song is supposed to display the innocence of a girl and the atmosphere of the story. But you brought it like a robot singing.” he said. “No feeling at all.”

“I agree, it looks like you guys experience a different taste every person.” said Orion who is also a dance coach. “You need to equalize the taste of this song first in order to take it well.”

“Don't just remember the song.but try to bring out the feeling of this song.” Lilith said again.

“Thank you!” the Butterflies team said then returned to his place to sit back down.

Ava who was watching from the side couldn't help but feel sleepy. Especially since he had been sleep deprived lately and had always helped his teammates to train hard. Especially since there are new members in the group who need a lot of things to teach. So now that they had done nothing, Ava could not help but close her eyes for a while to rest.

Sayup she could listen to some of the talk around her but was a little unclear. In the end he woke up due to the swaying in his body. Sydney sitting next to Ava woke him up because it seemed like after the advancing team, it was their turn to advance.

Ava opened her eyes wide and made sure to get up. He scans the surroundings and sees Sophie's team being rated this time around.

“What teams have advanced ?” ask Ava to Sydney.

“Tim Perfectly and Party are advanced. This time the Wild team and only our team has not.” replied Sydney. “I became nervous, the other team was criticized a lot and looked unprepared.”

Ava nodded. So Syndey woke him up. Apparently it's almost time. “We'll be fine as long as we do it like exercise.” Ava took a breath trying to gather all her consciousness and prepared to advance.

Team Wild seemed to have gotten into a lot of trouble as well. They were criticised long enough and given a lot of input by the coach. Ava who had just woken up became a little refreshed upon hearing the barrage of entries from the coaches for the other team.

“I think just enter it, please the last team.” said Keegan stop the evaluation and move to the next team.

Sydney immediately rose to her feet along with the other teams and took turns with the Wild team. They lined up and greeted the coaches first. Like everything else, they also had to do a singing test first.

“Oh, vocal play not Sydney trainee ?” ask Paris in surprise.

Sydney nodded with a smile. “I gave up being a vocal main.”

“Why even give this position to Ava trainee ?” vincent asked rather interested.

“Because Ava is more suitable to be the main vocal.” said Sydney without any burden at all. He even looks happy.

Coach Paris and Vincent are both staring confusedly. “Why does it feel like you're even so happy ?”

Sydney laughed softly and looked at Ava amusedly. “Because I can finally split the load.” he said amusedly.

“It looks like you are very confident with Ava.” capabilities Keegan said then glanced at Ava quietly looking forward to. “Then please progress to just start.”

They looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Ava held the paper and took a breath. The song begins with her singing, Ava adjusts her feelings and immediately sings. Ava's intro voice gives a lot of feeling to others so this is also to set the beginning of the song for everyone.

The coaches who evaluated raised their heads immediately heard Ava's first chant for only a short time before Sydney continued. Their voices were in harmony even though there was a change of atmosphere inside again. Every time Ava and Sydney started singing they would return to the atmosphere and bring together some of the cheerful atmosphere that existed.

Although there were some of the team members who were still somewhat unstable, but all of them were covered with chants from Ava and Sydney which was enough to make people goosebumps. Ava and the other members sang in a very nice atmosphere. Even with the pain of good cooperation, Ava and Sydney can freely add some add-lib to live the song.

When they finished, the coaches were silent for a long time and stared at them blankly. Other trainees are also a bit stunned to see their singing is very stable although some trainees are still a bit lacking, but the most important thing is that the atmosphere and what they want to display is conveyed very well.

“I now know why you gave Ava.” a vocal, Vincent said, nodding in agreement. “She can help create an atmosphere in a group. It was a shock to hear him sing in the beginning. I got goosebumps.”

Paris also agreed. “Although there are some other emotions in this song, but the elegant impression is not lost at all.”

“You must have practiced a lot. Just by singing, I could imagine how the stage and atmosphere were created. Very good, you guys have worked hard.” said Zoo is also quite happy with their appearance.

“Then let's see your dance.” said Lilith began to look forward to their performance.

They put down the lyric paper and turned to stand in their respective positions. Ava helps them tidy up their positions and get back into position. They pose according to the prefix of the song and wait for the song to play. The first time the song was played, Ava who moved first danced while singing as she did during rehearsal. Although this was not necessary, Ava did it anyway.

Ava's movements are very elegant and controlled, looking beautiful even when she wears a training suit. Ava stepped closer to Sydney and they both danced some simple ballet moves and shifted to moving the other members before the first lyric verse was finally sung.

The initially elegant atmosphere turned out to be pleasant but still remained with a controlled format. They looked like noble daughters who went to play but did not forget their etiquette. Everyone's movements were very controlled and thanks to Ava singing first, everyone in the group followed her singing.

The previously unstable voice had surprisingly gotten better with the atmosphere and moved them. They move very neatly and make other coaches and trainees who watch them assume that they are ready to go on stage. The small mistakes that some members make are not so heavy and closed with other moves.

This song does not have the maximum high tone like other songs. But it takes the ability of the singer to perform some high notes with technique at the end of the song so as not to look empty and look like *******. At the end of the song, they pose casually but also look elegant.

Orion could not help but clap his hands. Lilith also nodded in satisfaction with the performance of Ava's group who was very prepared and had worked hard.

“You guys seem to be training really hard.” Lilith said happily. “But it's very good once.”

“You even sing while singing.” said Paris appreciates.

“Very stable.” Vincent added while talking to Paris and Keegan.

“Do you guys always practice like this?” asked Zoo, he wanted to know how they normally practice.

“True, we usually practice fully to stabilize and familiarize ourselves.” replied Sydney.

They nodded in order to justify it.

“We used to be guided by Ava, then lately we always practice 10x rounds and there should be no mistakes.” said Sydney.

Crystal, Chandie, Melody and Yoal all nodded confirming.

The coaches were immediately shocked to hear their rather harsh ways.

“Then what happens if it gets wrong once ?” asked Zoo with a grin.

“Then repeat again from the beginning.” replied Chandie.

Everyone immediately let out a long breath hearing it. This kind of training is very difficult. They need to be focused and need to concentrate completely to be able to complete 10 rounds.

“What a hard way.” comments Keegan. “But it seems to work fine. You can perform this song stably is a great thing.”

“I agree, even some of you were initially unstable, but suddenly became stable while doing it again with the dance.” said Paris nodded in satisfaction. “Preserve, we hope to see this kind of appearance when you guys perform.”

“Thank you coach.” All the members of the group bowed and thanked them for their advice and praise.

But as they sat back down, Chandie smiled happily and excitedly like the other members. Only Ava was unaccounted for and looked even more tired than before.

Their show that had to be recorded stopped him at the end of the session, but the coaches and choreographers who were watching still remained there and opened up opportunities for trainees to ask them for advice.

Ava's team members naturally naturally asked about some things Zoo's head coach. Because it is the biggest problem they have in members who hold rap positions. They still need enlightenment in order to perform well.

Ava accompanied some of her team members to the Zoo coach to ask. Coach Zoo was a bit surprised to see them coming at him.

“Don't you guys have a rap guy on your team ?” ask the Zoo coach.

“We still need more professional advice.” said Ava. “They mainly do rap.”

Ava pushes Melody, Chandie, and also Crystal. All three are beginners but have been good enough in singing earlier. The coach immediately nodded in understanding why Ava had sent them to ask. Because they are beginners, they are more difficult to teach.

Coach Zoo had them sing their parts and give a lot of advice on how they should sing while acting. Ava listens and remembers some of the points that Zoo's coaches have given her so she can also train them later.

After the advice and criticism were given, they said goodbye and returned to their practice room. Ava's tiredness doubled, she immediately laid herself on the floor with a long sigh.

Sydney knew Ava was very tired, so they decided to rest for a while as they continued their training.

“Why do I even feel tired now.” said Crystal sadly. Usually he will not be easy to melt like now.

“I'm also very tired. Usually we still jump and dance strongly, but now I feel too tired.” said Chandie.

“Let's rest and sleep first. After dinner let's go practice again.” said Sydney decided. Practicing now will not produce good results for them either. Because everyone is exhausted.

They ended up dragging themselves back into the room and sleeping first. When they woke up it was already night and almost hours they had to eat. So everyone in their dorm went to the cafeteria with a strong hunger.

The cafeteria was not so crowded when they arrived. It is more free to eat. The smell of steaming food made the exhausted young girls unable to resist taking food quickly.

The menu at the cafeteria is always good. Except for those on a diet, everyone's menu is always complete and delicious. They eat like hungry people and eat quite a lot, especially Crystal.

“Are you not afraid of fat ?” ask Sydney to look at Crystal's rather bar-bar-like way of eating.

“I need energy to practice.” said Crystal without caring and continue the food.

Ava always eats quietly, but indeed she admits food is the best way to gather their energy now. Once he finished eating, it felt like his energy was growing again as it was.

“I ate too much.” complained Melody, today's menu is one of her favorites. So he accidentally ate too much.

“Let's take some time to digest before practicing again.” Sydney said as they returned to the practice room.

“Then should we talk a little.” advises Chandie. It will always be boring to take the time to digest food without doing anything.

“Good. Let's talk closer to ourselves.” Sydney took the advice.

They sat in a circle in the laithan room and began to talk about their daily lives.

“I happen to be from out of town, my academics are not good, but I love singing since young. So I'm a trainee now.” said Sydney told me a little bit about herself.

“I too, especially I love music. So I thought I could try my luck with being a trainee.” Melody said rather shyly. “But it seems like my talent is a little unfinished.”

“Do not talk like that. You feel that way because you lack exercise.” said Chandie. “I've been training since young, so can be better than others.”

“If I really wanted to be an actress and be a trainee to be an actress. But I happen to have a pretty decent voice so I was asked to try to add to the experience.” Crystal said.

“You are a potential actress, no wonder you are very sensitive to the camera.” said Sydney. He realized this when he was practicing, his expression management and other things from Crystal made him somewhat surprised sometimes.

“But I'm still a beginner. It's only been a year since I was cast.” Crystal said rather shyly. “How about you Yoal ?”

“I ? Actually I've changed several agencies and have been a trainee for a long time. But like how hard I work is a bit sad, because my development has been very little. But since I became a trainee here, I think I found something unique for myself.”

“I feel the same way too. It seems like even though this program is a bit draining and emotional. I feel a lot developed over here.” said Sydney. “But it's lucky you found something unique for yourself.”

“In the entertainment industry, it does need something unique. If it is not possible it will be difficult to succeed.” said Yoal, he took a long time to find something unique for himself.

“Then how about you Ava ?” ask Crystal. He and the others were quite curious about Ava.

Ava lifted her head and said, “I came here to accompany my friend, never joined or get specific training like you guys.”

“So you mean you learned self-taught ?” ask Sydney, she wants to know where Ava's skills are going to work.

“My grandfather sold musical instruments, then a friend of my grandfather who taught me some things about music and singing. But I just study casually.”

“It seems like talent is passed down through genetics.” said Yoal, he himself trained a lot and saw many kinds of trainees. But only this time did he see an over-talented trainee like Ava. There is no formal practice but it can be this great.

“Actually the key is to watch a lot and learn to focus.” Ava said. Back when he was studying music, he didn't have much time so he always tried to focus and tinker during certain times. But in vulnerable time quite often so he can now be what he is now.

“I do practice a lot, but now if I think, it feels like I was too tired and forced myself to train even though not focused.” said Yoal who began to think about his trainee times first. A lot of time is wasted because of this.

“The balance between practice and rest is indeed very important.” Melody said as she nodded in understanding and took lessons from what her friends said.

“You will definitely be a great artist in the future Ava.” Sydney said as she looked at Ava with hope.

Ava who heard it could only avert her gaze. Because he has no intention of becoming an artist. I think Sydney's hopes will be in vain. They resumed their brief conversation and went to practice again after an hour.

Ava's focus this time is on the members who rap. They need to strengthen them in order to bring a better impact to the song.
