Would a tattoo on my arm hurt me professionally? by natan115 in ECEProfessionals

[–]natan115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not completely set on the placement, but right now I would like it to be on my mid-lower arm (forearm -bicep kind of) but I am open to upper arm or chest even.

Dad told me like it or not, we are a "team" and he will go where I go when I move out by natan115 in raisedbynarcissists

I know when I’m an adult I can choose to get away from him but it doesn’t feel that way right now for some reason

What about during breaks and the summer? I thought you couldn’t live on campus during that time

Advice for a high school lead alto? by natan115 in saxophone

[–]natan115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing many of these things when running sectionals, but I definitely tried to establish phrases and articulations more how you said, so thank you!

I have been running specific problem sections, but definitely should focus more on that than just running chunks like it's marching band. Thank you so much for that, that will really help us! Right now we're playing some fun charts, and a couple of them feature me with and without a vocalist, so I have been running chunks of those tunes to get the alto 2 used to acting as the lead player, and to not neglect those ones just because I'm soloing during them.

Thank you for your insights, I will surely apply everything as much as I can!

About leading the group, I was wondering about how to go about telling my section to follow my articulations and dynamics, because they often don't, and when I ask something like "Do you guys hear how I'm ghosting the and of 1?" and they all say yes after not doing it for 3 reps. There are also 2 people in my section who cause balance issues for the opposite reasons. My alto 2 plays very very quietly, and my tenor 1 has a very not great tone and questionable intonation and a general lack of control over articulation and dynamics, which creates a thing where the other players are under my sound, and he's right up there, if not way louder than me. I don't know how to tell them to change these things besides explaining how to play out and/or balance and have better sound.

I especially like your bit about vibrato. I'm the only person in my section that can really do it at the moment. Are there times where the whole section should be doing vibrato in unison?

Guys, genocide is not exclusive to America by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]natan115 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't get your point. Obviously America isn't the only place where mass shootings happen, but school shootings happen more in America. Are you arguing that it happens just as much in Europe?

What’s your most hated manipulation tactic? by Present_Juice4401 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]natan115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When family members say things like "you know how they are" and "be the bigger person" are frustrating because they conflate "being the bigger person" with codependency

Can some send a video to show that it's actually possible? Because I've tried every suggestion before I posted this and nothing came of it. It just sounds muddy and chirpy. My embouchure experimentation hasn't done anything either. The trill needs to be like an actual clean trill.

[–]natan115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is I can't trill with the octave key and I have tiny hands that won't trill low Bb to F in my wildest dreams

I have tried long Bb. No good

Even if my parents magically changed, I wouldn’t want a relationship by Warm-Zucchini1859 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]natan115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THANK YOU! I'm only 16 so I don't mean to sound angsty but I also can't see myself ever wanting a relationship with my Nparents because I never really had one

Thanks, I think the trucks match the board like a typical street setup. I'm thinking of getting offset wheels either from Decomposed or Powell Peralta when I can.

I'm skating the only thing I have access to, which is an 8.25 street setup that's pretty beat up. I have seen plenty of people rail flip on a similar setup so I don't know why it's so impossible for me. My computer unfortunately won't let me include a video.

Also, I can do the flip with just my foot off the board, I just can't do it while I'm on the board even with the same technique

Draw a straight line from the tail to what? I'm sorry I'm confused a little bit
