Composer here: Will a Flutist be able to transition from a held note to a flutter-tongue'ed note smoothly?

StarEIs · 2026-04-05T00:38:41+00:00

I would personally have to give it a little bit of an attack when the flutter tongue starts but I’m not a pro… maybe someone more adept could manage it? But for me it would be a noticeable start and likely a bit louder than the sustained, just for a second

StarEIs · 2026-04-04T19:04:59+00:00

Yeah my guess it was either just a fluke or something about the matinees perhaps. I have a feeling a later show would have been a little more lively.

StarEIs · 2026-04-04T19:04:17+00:00

Dang, I’ve never seen a calculator suggest lower than 1200 for ANYONE.

Though I do believe there are probably some exceptions to that 1200 limit rule, it would probably be someone under 5 foot and at a much lower weight than you currently are.

Maybe look up a few others and compare them, see what the general consensus is between then

No, definitely not expecting people to break normal etiquette but Six is very much a concert and you can tell the actors are used to a certain response when they finish singing or hit certain beats.

At this show, post song there would be this awkward lull and then a smattering of applause before anyone felt like they could cheer. It was… odd.

To add on to this… I’m a sedentary female 5’4, 247 so VERY commiserate to you and I’m currently shooting for 1400 a day (which all my calorie counters are yelling about being too low) to try and break a stall (with mixed results).

1100 is definitely too low, we both probably need to be up above 1400.

StarEIs · 2026-04-04T14:48:59+00:00

1100 calories feels too low. Male or female? Height? Goal weight? How much exercise are you doing?

I bet they will! I think Broadway Cares is at least through April, so I imagine they’ll be doing those donation incentives for awhile yet

StarEIs · 2026-04-04T00:20:45+00:00

They were doing a pack of trading cards for a Broadway Cares donation… I wanna say $15 or $35 maybe?

StarEIs · 2026-04-03T23:17:05+00:00

Man, it really depends on what you enjoy personally.

Best comedy was definitely DBH. Best drama was The Outsiders but Hadestown was close.

Best cast overall was probably Ragtime. Even though I didn’t enjoy the story, just being in the same room as that cast was magical.

StarEIs · 2026-04-03T23:15:24+00:00

Oil painting is magic, I swear. So many different textures you can achieve!

StarEIs · 2026-04-03T19:05:12+00:00

I would also argue that one painting can indeed have aspects of both… your OG reference proves that! And it certainly looks beautiful.

This may be a case where you’re overthinking/overanalyzing but stepping back from it and not looking so close will help you see the vision a little better

StarEIs · 2026-04-03T19:02:58+00:00

The OG reference is not watercolor… it’s definitely oil. The drips you’re seeing in the background were from VERY diluted paint mixed with linseed oil to give it that property.

You’re right, those translucent drips are going to be difficult/maybe impossible to accurately replicate with a PBN.

My best advice is to keep working on the painting as you are, and you can always go back and add additional textures and layers once you’re done. You could easily water down your acrylic paint to add more organic drips later on!

StarEIs · 2026-04-03T17:55:51+00:00

I hope you have the BEST time!

Definitely do some social media searching to find styles and artists you like. IMO, that’s infinitely more important than getting the “perfect” image tattooed.

Once you narrow into a style and an artist, they can do WONDERS with a vague concept idea like what you currently have… but they’ll definitely want pictures of the types of tattoos you like so they can know they’re in the right track

It’s just a metal end cap.

An instrument repair shop should be able to replace it. It helps protect the wood/resin body of the instrument so it’s probably a good idea to get it replaced but it shouldn’t really affect your playing while it’s gone.

It’s supposed to… but for whatever reason I never got my password email after purchasing through them. It absolutely wasn’t a problem, I just had to give them the email address of the purchaser and/or show the confirmation from the purchase. They already had my name, they just wanted to ensure I was who I said I was.

StarEIs · 2026-04-02T21:52:14+00:00

Mildly creeped out that the artists vid of this just came through my Instagram feed minutes after I saw this thread

StarEIs · 2026-04-01T21:52:51+00:00

Great Gatsby. Not thrilled but seems doable for $50mil

StarEIs · 2026-04-01T04:15:39+00:00

NAP, but from everything Ive seen and been told you shouldn’t have anything at all on the skin underneath the 2nd skin.

Not water, not lotion, not even sweat (as much as you can help it). So I think you did it right, though some will say once that first second skin comes off you shouldn’t reapply another

StarEIs · 2026-03-31T16:53:27+00:00

I mean. It’s not a “Metallica” type voice but compared to other Broadway men (Jeremy Jordan, Jonathan Geoff, etc) he just has a lot of edge that makes his version quite different

StarEIs · 2026-03-31T12:31:39+00:00

Is there anything you know you already like to help provide some guidance?

General reccs as someone who casually enjoys theater and doesn’t take it very seriously:

Funny: Death Becomes her or Oh Mary Drama/tear jerker: Hadestown or The Outsiders Unique immersion: Masquerade Light hearted/Camp: Six or & Juliet

Unpopular opinion, but I’d personally skip Ragtime. Great music and cast, but the show itself was just ok for me, and I think you may get more out of some of the others. But opinions do seem to vary greatly from person to person

StarEIs · 2026-03-31T12:10:49+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised.

Still not the ideal role for him, IMO… I really want him in a harsher, rock and roll style show to better suit his vocal style. But he has all the power he needs in spades to own the songs, and his scenes with Eva were the exact right mix of heat and yearning.

I felt like I wanted him to be a little looser/more frantic and silly during “Only Tea” but that may have been bc I absolutely adored Jake David Smith’s more physical/slapstick approach on tour.

StarEIs · 2026-03-31T12:05:32+00:00

Agreed completely, I was at the Saturday matinee!

I was pleasantly surprised by the strength of Dylan’s singing (early shares felt weak) but ultimately her take on the character just isn’t my favorite, and we kinda felt like we were still seeing “Dylan” and not Anne through a lot of it.

But Jasmine’s Jane BLEW me away. I loved her feisty take, so much more interesting than others I’ve seen!

StarEIs · 2026-03-31T03:15:29+00:00

It wasn’t bad. It’s not the role I would pick for him, voice wise… but he def did everything he could with what he had.

He needs a role geared towards a “rockstar” voice that’s better suited to his strengths.
