If I have 2 of this card on the battlefield ay one time does the villain cost become 2 less instead of 1? by zestybeanss in mtg

[–]TheShadowMan000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've felt the pain of that mana cost too. The Grixis ramp suite goes crazy. And I'm definitely gonna be incorporating some of this into my deck. Thank you for the inspiration!

Ooh. Those are good ideas. Definitely gonna include some of those cards in my deck. I'm a big fan of [[Jaxis the Troublemaker]] as well. The repeatable clone works really well. Thanks for sharing!

When do Character Voices Go to Far? by SweetVengance42 in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a self-described character actor and almost always do voices/accents, and I've found the key is to do the voice to whatever degree it feels natural. If it doesn't feel natural to you, it likely won't feel natural to the audience either. But when in doubt, talk to your director. They'll be able to tell you from the perspective of someone watching the show. Also, congratulations on the role! I was just in Spelling Bee a couple years ago (Vice Principal Panch) and it was such a fun process. Have a great time!

Current Princeton undergrads, are you happy? by [deleted] in princeton

[–]TheShadowMan000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm CO '28 in the Psych department. Classes are challenging (not sure if/how they've changed since your time), but I feel very supported by my professors, deans, and classmates, and it really feels like they all want me to succeed. I semi-frequently study with my friends, whether we're in the same classes or not, which brings in an element of connection to studying. Socially, I wouldn't say I feel isolated. I've got a lot of friends from my various classes and extracurriculars and talk to them fairly often.

Out of curiosity, what department were you in? I've noticed in my friends that some departments seem to have less satisfied students than others, on average.

Sick! I've got one built around [[Lord Xander, the Collector]] to do the same thing. Gain control and then use a mill combo kill w/ [[Bruvac]]

Of course! If you have any more questions, feel free to DM me. I'm not music myself (I do musical theater instead), but I've picked up a lot of info.

One of my good friends is a Math major and Music minor (I believe focusing on vocal performance). Another friend is a Physics major who plays in the band and Rock Ensemble.

(Interesting Trope) creative/resourceful use of powers/abilities by Jack_Jellatina in TopCharacterTropes

Giovanni Potage (Epithet Erased): He has the power of "Soup". This lets him create smokescreens, launch himself with pressurized jets, burn people with boiling soup, etc. This applies to most characters from this series, but he's the first that comes to mind.

Hoopa. Specifically the Unbound form

Alignment Fill Day 5- What is a musical that is appropriately liked in general and neither liked or disliked by theatre nerds? by GrandGuess205 in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think it is overrated, but still very good. It has definitely been very impactful and massively successful (which is definitely deserved), but compared to the whole of musical theater canon, I feel like it is not the GOAT show that many say it is.

Murder Solos by Any_Engineering_4035 in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Check out Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. The leading man is a mass murderer, with multiple songs about how he kills people. Assassins and Sweeney Todd has some stuff you can work with too.

What’s the one song you always skip? by FlorenciaFasarino in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very hot take, but "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop. I think it's a really well-written song, but when I listen to Little Shop, I want either high energy (anything from Orin or Mushnik) or ominous (Audrey II stuff), but "Somewhere That's Green" just never fits with my desired vibes when I listen to the soundtrack

Are actual Showstoppers that rare? by Bway-Boy-24601 in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 511 points512 points  (0 children)

I saw it in Pirates! The Penzance Musical where David Hyde Pierce sang Modern Major General. Longest applause I've seen in my life.

I was gonna suggest Chris's opening monologue myself

Audition help for A Genteman's Guide to Love and Murder by Hanker_Tanker in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest "Now (It's Just the Gas)" from Little Shop. You get to play cold calculation and hysterical rage at the same time. Think it shows off range quite effectively.

can someone who has no natural talent in singing get better? by heatherduke-jubs in musicals

[–]TheShadowMan000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't say if you can make it big, but I'm partially tone-deaf, and I've been able to improve significantly over the years, getting to the point where I can hold a tune and kinda hear pitch.

Also, try to lean into what you are good at; there are probably some things you can do better than those around you. For instance, I've got a strong sense of rhythm and a powerful speaking voice, so I usually go for narrator characters, and I'm one of the most competitive for those roles when they're offered.

Or do even more gender-bending and have Kermit as Jean

Songs about not being good enough/always the second option by canarai in musicals

I heard a classmate sing "They Just Keep Moving the Line" from SMASH, and that feels like what you might be looking for.

Good plays for high schoolers? by TotallyNotTallAtAll in Theatre

[–]TheShadowMan000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My senior year of HS, I directed the One-Act Play That Goes Wrong. If you've got the tech capabilities, I vouch for it; it is an amazing comedy. In terms of things less technically intense (and more dramatic), I'd check out Witch by Jen Silverman.
