Few months ago, for the first time in my life, I got to sing at restaurants which I was always curious about. But I had to sing for four hours with 15 minutes break in between two hours. They would call me like once a month and I would sing. Things were fine and the payment wasn’t that bad.
In my country, new year is coming up and my employer said I should sing for 7 hours with 15 minutes break in between every two hours. My employer said that he would pay me a bit more for that.
The problem is I obviously can’t sing for 7 hours. My voice wouldn’t be able to take it. I’m not a professional singer and I didn’t even take vocal classes. Four hours is the longest I can sing and my voice after, is quite hoarse.
In a way, I feel like I’m being entitled cause most people don’t get to do what I do. But then again, it ridiculous to think I can even sing for 7 freaking hours. Also I can’t back out now either. My dumb ass didn’t know how to negotiate and ended up agreeing to it.
Adult life is so difficult when you don’t have skills like bargaining, negotiating, communicating etc. and I’m just in the beginning stage of it.
I feel pathetic.

You are absolutely right dear,my mom says my face looks like i will cry any moment when I try to do bargaining it's hard it is ....but whats more hard it to let your health down because this is not the last time you going to sing right?there are more performances to come and can't take risk with your voice.
I know there is no place for bargaining or negotiation but when things are right and need to be said you don't need those skills all you need is care for yourself and just need to take a stand.
So just go and talk to that owner and express your issue in a very positive way and with trust in your words .if the person is understanding then their no mean to work with that kind of person .
Go and tell him the best yu can do is sing for 4 hours more than that it will not sound good and also not good for my throat and i know myself and my capabilities so i am sure of this sir.As your bad performance can ruin the whole thing so it's best for both of us to come to an proper and comfortable solution fir this.
I hope this will help.and do tell my how this went .And all the best fir your performance.
Lots of care
