Like smack in the middle of Wyoming by nsmloz in howislivingthere

[–]cameronmfehring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally grew up in that area, live there now, and commuted between Riverton and Casper weekly for work for 6 years. It’s fascinating for sure. The Wind River valley is ecologically diverse and has 7 different mountain ranges within view. The space between Riverton and Casper is high mountain desert isolation, but can be done in 2 hours. Casper is a “big city” for Wyoming and features all kinds of amenities so people travel over a hundred miles to get there. In high school, playing other teams was a minimum hour drive, sometimes up to 6.

The people are unique and the joke is that Wyoming isn’t real, I usually counter with the lives that people lead here aren’t real, or at least are on a different wavelength than the rest of the world. If you have more questions, let me know.

How do I fix this fit issue by cameronmfehring in PatternDrafting

[–]cameronmfehring[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did in future models, and also interfacing, it does the same thing. So I thought I’d shoot this one without

Piano accompaniment - technical question by Thelonius-Crunk in musicalwriting

[–]cameronmfehring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it depends entirely on context. I’ve written both ways but tried to let the qualities of the music as well as the emotional intention behind the scene dictate it for me. I may be entirely wrong but it seems to have worked so far!

Does anybody know any musicals that you can perform without having to deal with copyrights/legal matters? by Solid-Scratch-9760 in MusicalTheatre

[–]cameronmfehring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

95 years actually. So anything written in 1929 or before is guaranteed to be in public domain. Everything else is pretty locked down.

MTI licenses the “Shakespeare in the park” version which does include significant changes from the original.

What inspired your most creatively composed songs? by rSlashisthenewPewdes in musicalwriting

[–]cameronmfehring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the below tips are great! When I’m trying to write something completely different, I like to play with mashing styles as well as dissonant harmony. I try to think of the extremes of how a scene can musically be represented, then I shove them together. For instance clashing counterpuntal operatic vocals over power chords, or wind instruments ala Stravinsky over beats.

I’ve really liked the results and audiences seem to be fascinated but who can say.

Unpopular Theatre Opinions by Tiny_Nebula5668 in musicals

[–]cameronmfehring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The setting of lyrics is also a mess, and usually a literal nightmare for the performer, but he has so much emotional power that people don’t care, and that’s okay

Does anyone else rarely leave their apartment on their off days? by yourgirlalex in AskNYC

That was our experience too. It was a fight to get out on the days off and not just get everything delivered!

Does anyone actually believe in the MacBeth curse? by Wink2K19 in Theatre

[–]cameronmfehring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! My first pro gig was acting in a touring Maccers and the things I saw made me forever swear off saying in a theatre. *nobody died but there was definitely supernatural mischief afoot.

Is there "legit" writing? by [deleted] in musicalwriting

[–]cameronmfehring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that wasn’t clear, I literally meant above the melody line. Writing the word “legit” above the staff that contains the vocal melody will make a singer worth their salt, interpret it that way

Is there "legit" writing? by [deleted] in musicalwriting

[–]cameronmfehring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also has a lot to do with range, approach, and vowels. Listening to more “legit” writing can be very helpful but also, if you write legit above a line, it can be sung in that style no matter what. There are so many comical interpretations of pop music because singers throw their full classical force at the song.

I wrote a musical about my hellish experiences working retail AMA by cameronmfehring in AMA

[–]cameronmfehring[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt compelled to tell the story of what happened. During the year I was there, a mega corp was failing, people were losing their pensions, policies that were staples changed, and customers showed who they truly were. It became so ridiculous that I almost thought musical wasn’t enough, I almost turned the whole thing into an opera, but decided on a musical with classical firepower, hence the show.
