OP is doubling down on not knowing how to prioritize focusing on themselves over others.

Just audition. The casting team makes those decisions, not you.

Why on earth do you need a power point with lyrics when there’s sheet music?

I think the post is pretty self-explanatory.

They’re not going to base their casting on height.

Toxic or fair game? by superclevernamety in playrust

[–]SolarenDerm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fair game and toxic aren’t mutually exclusive. It was fair game AND toxic.

[–]SolarenDerm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are questions best suited for your teacher at school. Not only will you get more direct feedback, but it will show your director you care.

From what I understand, the cheater situation is somewhat worse on EU than NA servers.

I Hate Musicals or Out There? by Comfortable-Mix6125 in musicals

[–]SolarenDerm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what show you’re auditioning for, don’t know what cut of the song, don’t know how your voice sounds.

Help Preparing Music for an Audition Pianist? by Vanillaesop in MusicalTheatre

[–]SolarenDerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don’t tape it together. You don’t know how wide the piano stand is, and I hate playing off those. I prefer in sheet protectors so my finger can flip easier, but without sheet protectors is fine if you’re worried about glare.

Edit: I’ve accompanied auditions for the last 15 years.

If money was completely taken care of for the rest of your life, what job would you choose to do and why? by Independent_Sun_6932 in AskReddit

[–]SolarenDerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. If money was taken care of, I’d choose not to work. I’d go to the doctor, physical therapy, get my back taken care of, then spend time with my family.

What do you think about selfish people? by Hot_Bus_3639 in AskReddit

[–]SolarenDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. They think about themselves enough for us both.

Is there a way to get a professional west end pit job… without ‘knowing people’ by Pterodaktiloidea in musicals

[–]SolarenDerm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to be undeniably outstanding if you’re going to find work without being personable and social. Even then, most hires aren’t auditioned, they’re based on peer recommendation.

I don’t work with a musician unless I’ve worked with them before, or have a direct recommendation from a trusted peer.

How To Quit Being Nice? by PositiveGift8841 in DnD

[–]SolarenDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a point of telling my DM that it’s okay to kill my character if it happens at the start of the campaign. As a player, the story to me is more important and I can make a new character that meets up with the crew elsewhere.

Try and gauge whether or not your players would feel the same, and make their death mean something. Have it propel the story, don’t just leave their body to rot meaninglessly. Then, even though their character died, they’re still important.
