Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all fine and that your summer has been great so far.
Last week was very fun and eventful.
Monday 28th of June 2010: We drove to Stockholm in the morning. I was going to do the final dubbing for the movie “Princess Lillifee” which premiers this autumn. It was such great fun! It has been very exciting to see how it´s all done as I´ve never done any dubbing before. You stand in the studio with a microphone,headphones,script and a tv-screen.The film is rolling and there is a digital clock rolling along the bottom of the tv-screen.Whilst you have the script with time-codes you also have to read the lines at the correct time. You have to listen to the english voice in the headphones at the same time so that you can hear the feeling or emotion the character is expressing while she is speaking her lines. There is also a producer in the room next door who will tell you if there is something you have do different or record again. It is really fun work and a lot to think about whilst recording! I am so happy that I got to do the voice of Lillifee in “Princess Lillifee”.She is a very funny caracter and the movie is both exciting and fun. After I was done there we drove home to Jönköping again.

Tuesday 29th of June 2010: In the morning we drove to Gothenburg. The charity “My Special Day” were having a Café-day at Queen Silvias Children´s Hospital in Gothenburg. The Café-days work like this; the patients at the childrens hospital and their parents are invited to a fun day at the Hospital where they can play,make some art and have som special treats(like for example cakes,buns,juice&coffee).I have been to several Café-days and they are always great fun!”My Special Day” does such fantastic work!
I was playing, talking to and singing with the children. Spending the whole day with them there was so much fun. I even managed(with a little guidance)to make a spider with some pipe-cleaners)Afterwards we went home to Jönköping.
Wednesday 30th of June 2010: Today I had a little lie-in. We drove up to Stockholm around lunchtime to rehearse with Nanne Grönwalls band. On the Saturday Nanne was having her Tour-Première and I was going to be her guest-artist. Nannes band was fantastic!
We rehearsed all the songs I was going to sing and a little later Nanne arrived and we rehearsed the songs we were going to do together.It went really well and it was great fun!
Afterwards we drove back to Jönköping.Me and my younger sister Lisa had bought tickets for the première of “Eclipse” and it was starting at 18.00.We had plenty of time to drive back but hit the biggest traffic-jam I have ever seen.We were stuck in traffic for what seemed like an eternity.I really didn´t think we were going to make it in time.Luckily we arrived at the cinema at 18.06. Me and Lisa rushed in and bought some popcorn and snacks,ran up the stairs apologizing to everyone already sitting in their seats while we squeezed passed and managed to sit down EXCACTLY when the film started. Now I am forever grateful for all the commercials at the cinema,thanks to them the film started 8 minutes later than scheduled.
Thursday 1st of July 2010: Today I was at home taking it easy. I went shopping in town with my Mum during the day and in the evening we drove up to Arlanda to sleep as we had a very early flight for Kiruna the next morning.
Friday 2nd of July 2010: Our flight up to Kiruna took an hour and a half. A bus waited for us at the airport and we were given our passes and schedule for the day. Me and Nanne did radio,tv and newspaper-interviews and had some pictures taken. We did a soundcheck later on. It was so exciting to be back in Kiruna again.I was there 5 years ago excactly on the day when I did my own very first summertour! Before the concert I had something to eat and got myself ready. The concert started at 20.00. There were so many people in the crowd and it was such a great audience,they were really up for a good show! I really had such a great time!
Saturday 3rd of July 2010: We flew back to Arlanda,Stockholm in the morning and then drove straight back to Jönköping.We hired the Movie “Alice in Wonderland” as it had just come out on DVD and I watched it with my sisters as they hadn´t seen the movie before. It was just as good as it was when I watched it the first time.
Sunday 4th of July 2010: We just couldn´t keep away. Eclipse was so good that me and Lisa went to see it AGAIN. It´s really the best Twilight-movie so far!
Monday 5th of July 2010: Today I went to the hairdresser´s and had a colour and cut.I felt like doing something completely different this time. I had it coloured with A LOT of red!! It feels great and very exciting with something completely new! After the hairdresser´s I had a driving-lesson.We drove on some bigger roads this time and I was doing 70 km/h. For me it felt like a very high speed as I up til now have only been driving on the smaller roads in town.
That´s what I´ve been up to during the past week.
I Wish you all a wonderful week!
Lots of Love
Amy
