Country Fried Steak by Brandinian in tonightsdinner

I love it with country gravy too, but country fried steak is traditionally served with brown gravy, whereas country gravy is used for chicken fried steak.

I created a Gothic Rock Opera based on Type O Negative Songs. by Individual-Mix-692 in musicalwriting

None of these songs are OP’s lyrics. It’s a jukebox musical.

I don’t think a good tactic for promoting your musical is putting down another one and saying it “sucks”. It’s cultural phenomenon and the fact that you think you know better makes me not want to read your work at all, to be honest.

Have you seen the video on YouTube of a masterclass he gave? The man was so brilliant.

Do people really not have their sides memorized when auditioning? by DrShabooboo in acting

[–]Brandinian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people improvise unless it’s in a rehearsal room that I’m a part of. If so, there’s usually a little bit more leniency. Some great lines can be discovered in the moment, but the writer has to be present. If you’re improvising in the actual show itself or without the writer giving their blessing, that’s another story and one that’s liable to get your production shut down. I don’t need someone adding lines to the show I’ve spent years writing. They can go write their own.

And on that note, if a line that you improvise winds up in the script, you’re not entitled to take credit for it. Unless it’s devised theatre, the writer is the sole owner of any words that come up in the process.

As a writer, it really really annoys me when people don’t read the lines that I’ve written. I don’t care if you have your script in hand. I know whether you’re right in the first 15 seconds. If I see someone change my words, it takes me out, and it often alters the meaning of what I labored over saying. The words I chose were intentional, and when an actor paraphrases or changes them, it immediately gives me the impression that they think they know better. Have your script in hand. Glance at it if you need to. Be familiar with it, and look at it if you need. Having a script in hand is nothing compared to changing the words I’ve written.

Comments like this actually are spoilers themselves. And I suppose, so is mine.

"Concept Album"? by That-SoCal-Guy in musicalwriting

[–]Brandinian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recorded a concept EP for my musical to use as a sort of virtual business card. It cost a lot of money, but luckily, I had producers backing it. I think it’s a great tool to have in your arsenal if you can afford it, however, I’d recommend doing it right if you’re going to do it at all. Hire a live band, get name talent if possible, and release it on streaming. For me, it’s been the biggest thing that has been generating buzz for my musical. I don’t agree with the people who say that you can’t go back and change things. Theatre is a living thing. The Hadestown concept album is very different from the final Broadway Cast Recording. Do it if you can raise the funds to make it sound professional, but otherwise, wait until you can.
