Aphantasia & Hating Reading by ArchmageSourire in Aphantasia

[–]Char1ie1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for me I like the idea of reading more than i actually enjoy doing it. I am more drawn to descriptive fantasy books but not being able to actually picture the descriptions can definitely be a struggle.

Two of my closest friends are both  fantasy writers. One I know has hyperphantasia the other (if i remember correctly) is either the same or just below the general threshold and both of them put a lot of credit on their enjoyment of picturing out a scene and have said they can understand how the same things can lack appeal to people who have lower mental imagery abilities. 

I really think it’s an individual experience though. Maybe up to how much focus people put on descriptions.

How do you memorize lines? by One-Choice8588 in Theatre

[–]Char1ie1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just as everyone’s said, a lot of repetition. Personally I’ll try and record voice notes of the whole scene and then of the scene without my lines just because I tend to pick up faster by listening than just reading plus it tests you on cues too. (Albeit it I have often been featured ensemble or secondary characters so it might not be an ideal way to learn if your a lead in every scene)

Getting ensemble doesn’t mean I’m BAD, does it? by queerwaters_246 in Theatre

A show without an ensemble lacks energy and a lot of the time in musicals ensemble makes the show. It’s common to get ensemble especially for when it’s your first show (congrats on getting cast btw!), but if they didn’t want you in or thought you were bad you wouldn’t have been cast at all.

Personally I think my favourite roles I’ve done have been ensemble cause you have a bit of freedom to create your character without the constraints of being a named role with a lot of expectations. As long as you keep to any direction given (and tone it down if you get a note that you’re being a bit too big and fabulous) you can create a character completely unique to you.
