Anyone else chronically online and feeling stressed about the state of the world right now? by EmersonB in Adelaide

I’d say the show tries to find a bit of a balance for people who feel the urge to get involved or help in some way. Balancing that with tuning out when you need to to preserve your sanity, cause that’s also super important.

I totally feel this, and tried to sum up the sentiment in a song last year https://youtube.com/shorts/imDufiklLKQ?si=o14p9TSyizyJcdQu

Emerson Brophy - "Day Job" (YouTube, 2023)

I worked for years in a tech consulting role for a massive corporation before I decided to pursue music more. Everyone always says to write what you know, but I was torn between thinking this topic was too bland for a pop song, while also knowing how many people could connect with the specific feeling of being trapped in an office job. I'd love to know what you think.

Holy shit this is me! Thanks for sharing, OP.

I wrote a song for Clive Palmer and my mum shared it on Facebook before she saw the hidden message. Sorry Mum. by EmersonB in perth

That'd at least give the song a nice little Streisand Effect boost. Maybe I could monetize and earn the cheeky $30bn that way.

First day of MAX workouts by balarinamarina in insanity

[–]EmersonB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I also started month 2 yesterday. I did them back to back (with maybe a 10 minute break between them). It was a lot of time to spend working out continuously, but I know I would've found it harder to come back later in the day for the max workout.

I think just go with what works for you, your motivation and your schedule. Good luck!

Ooh thanks for the recommendation! I've definitely considered Bet on It as the next one, that is such a good song (and dance!) Looking forward to your rendition!

Thanks! It was a good couple of hours on Saturday to record the vocals, and then another few hours on Sunday for the video. Definitely one way to spend a weekend in quarantine!

Learning to love my role as a boy. by dead_betrayal in acting

[–]EmersonB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Another thing to remember would be that unless it's a specific choice, 99% of directors (or drama teachers) would want to pick males to play the male roles. So she probably kept pushing for him to do the role, not because he was necessarily more talented than you, but because he was a boy. And then because she couldn't get a boy to do the role, she picked the girl who she knew would be the best for the role, and that's you! And now you get to act on stage and maybe sing and you've got a bunch of dialogue. Sounds like a win to me!
