That's really awesome! I wish you the best of luck with your auditions :) Community theater is great to build experience. And...yeah. I can definitely attest to knowing the struggle of certain groups who ~*only cast their friends*~. It's hella lame. I'm actually part of a new community theatre group out of my home town (45 min away from where I live rn). I directed my first show thru that company this past summer - Steel Magnolias - and I plan to direct again in the near future! (Auditions in January, rehearsals starting in January to open in April)

Danke, mein non-Fraulein.

Rad! I was actually planning to direct/manage an amateur production with someone I know. We were going to do Murder On The Orient Express, but we decided that it was on much too lavish a scale for our resources. So then I thought maybe the court case sequence from To Kill A Mockingbird, but I became less enthusiastic. Now I want to do a bloody musical but she says no. Sigh...

I mean, sure, I can't dance and I haven't had a singing lesson in my life, but come on!

Musicals are pretty expensive, so I understand the reasoning behind that.

Yaassss! What did you sing?
 
lol neither do I

back when I was a wee lass, I wanted to sing once upon a time, but I'm personally glad I've never really followed through with that.
 
Singing is life, dudes! Even if you suck at it, you should still do it. We can't all have legendary voices, but a bit of voice control can go a long way - just going as high and as low as you can until you rub out the voice cracks. Then there's the wavering thing that you hear a lot in jazz and old musicals. That makes anything sound old-fashioned, so that's good to learn.

Teaching yourself to sing is a bit jagged a course, but the skill jumps are palpable. Can anyone here dance, though? And did you take lessons or sort of just pick it up from the off?

I'd love to lock myself in a room and rehearse in front of a mirror, but I need a disconnected music system, privacy, space and for the noise not to penetrate to other rooms. Want to take some classes but there's this horrible system where I come from where you have to pay someone a hundred million dollars for an hour of their time. And the world has also appeared to run out of printer ink. Either that or the people in charge of pricing are power-hungry psychopaths that like to be on the business end of my voodoo hatred.
 
I was meaning more instrument-wise I have no innate talent in. I actually can sing a bit but only in a very low register and it's nothing special. It's not something I've ever desired to spend time properly honing though as it just doesn't interest me enough. I'm always up for a bit of a sing at a KTV though
 
good morning all (and good afternoon/evening to the southern hemisphere)!

it feels massively refreshing this sunday morning, if only because it's my day to relax. ^_^
 
gross x.x can't imagine doing that kind of work shift...

the latest I've ever done is working until 2 am but that was at a theme park. i wouldn't do that again rip.
 
You get an extra hour in the day I suppose to nap

And then in half a year's time you'll have an hour less. I prefer no daylight saving time changes tbh.
 
It gets pitch black out by 5:00, compared to 6:00/7:00 - or later during the summer. It doesn't feel like an extra hour. Days feel like they drag on because it gets dark so early. The end of daylight savings time marks the beginning of my seasonal depression.

I don't care much for the time changes, but I do like that hour of sleep (or staying awake lol) that we get at night when the clocks go back.
 
I feel like I don't really notice the effects of DST much.

But I don't really get a whole lot of sleep to begin with, so that's probably why. :x
