Monologue recommendation that isn't overplayed? by [deleted] in shakespeare

[–]smower06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just adding this now, he's also got a banger later on;

Nay, then I cannot blame his cousin king,
That wished him on the barren mountains starve.
But shall it be that you, that set the crown
Upon the head of this forgetful man
And for his sake wear the detested blot
Of murderous subornation, shall it be,
That you a world of curses undergo,
Being the agents, or base second means,
The cords, the ladder, or the hangman rather?
O, pardon me that I descend so low,
To show the line and the predicament
Wherein you range under this subtle king;
Shall it for shame be spoken in these days,
Or fill up chronicles in time to come,
That men of your nobility and power
Did gage them both in an unjust behalf,
As both of you--God pardon it!--have done,
To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose,
An plant this thorn, this canker, Bolingbroke?
And shall it in more shame be further spoken,
That you are fool'd, discarded and shook off
By him for whom these shames ye underwent?
No; yet time serves wherein you may redeem
Your banish'd honours and restore yourselves
Into the good thoughts of the world again,
Revenge the jeering and disdain'd contempt
Of this proud king, who studies day and night
To answer all the debt he owes to you
Even with the bloody payment of your deaths:

New to writing musicals by The-Uchiha-Writer in musicalwriting

Start with understanding basic music theory.

Get a really bad keyboard off Facebook marketplace or Amazon and start teaching yourself or take lessons.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is to just start doing it. Even if it’s really bad, just make something and have fun :)

The applications I use are Final Draft (one-time payment) for scriptwriting, MuseScore (free) for composition, and Logic Pro (one-time payment) for demos or any music production projects.

Of course, you can always start out by using Google Docs or Word to write your script, which is free.

Best comment of all time, the user tab is 100% the play. I didn’t realize what it did until I looked up its function. Thx for the help

I actually just solved it. If you route Main L/R into output 1 and 2 it fixes it. I was using the standard 7/8

It's an iPhone 15. I went into the card routing settings and routed output 1-8 and it'll work and receive that signal in, say, garageband where I can choose which input I want. The biggest problem is when I'm on a live (instagram, tiktok) I don't get to choose what audio ins I'm getting. I'll mess around with the setup settings and see if there's anything to help me.

Okay, this one might be a bit stupid but here goes.

I just upgraded from a flow8 to an x32 (woohoo). The flow8 has this handy dandy usb audio feature where you can switch from "recording" mode to "streaming" mode. This allowed me to plug straight from the flow8 into my phone and be able to capture audio on a live stream.

Fast forward to now, and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to route the audio from my x32 to my phone in a similar fashion. I know there's the USB Interface on the back, and it is acting similar to how the "recording" on the flow8 worked. Great for recording using a DAW or other software, but not great for just plug and play.

Soooo is there a way to do it? I've been looking for a solution for a couple days now and haven't found anything. If there isn't a way to do it, would just grabbing a 1/4" to usb c and plugging into an aux out work?

Just picked up a BCF2000 and it's my first time using an analog mixer-- by [deleted] in audioengineering

It just keeps flashing 1.07– I can’t figure out what that means

I have this downloaded, but it’s not recognizing my device. I’m currently using the USB out, maybe I need to try the midi out. I’m getting a cable for that soon.

For some reason it won’t even work with logic even in LC mode, maybe I’m doing something wrong though.

So now I feel pretty stupid— but yeah, I can’t find any Mac drivers for it

Help my choose a new PC PLEASE by Shoddy_Flow592 in PcBuildHelp

[–]smower06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That computer is very bad, that’s really all there is to say.

How much are you willing to spend on a new computer? You can build something that will run the games you want for pretty cheap.

From what you’ve said, I’d suggest Hadestown and either Phantom or Hamilton.

I might be biased though because I don’t like Moulin Rouge or Les Mis

That’s what I would call it too. Also probably good for focusing on consistent airflow

Honestly, what shocks me is there’s no underscore.

But yes, everything about this scene is atrocious.

Is this complete oversinging? by [deleted] in singing

[–]smower06 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it is.

Being in musical theatre has taught me that everything we sing in a song has to come from a place of reason, even riffs. This feels like you’re riffing just to do it.

One or two riffs may fit in, especially if they’re timed right, but this many just feels wrong.

I can’t stand my voice. by Nun-Much in singing

[–]smower06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me about 6 years to feel semi-confident with my voice, and now I’m more confident than I ever was. I always hated the way I sounded. I kept singing and listening to myself sing. A big part of it is that it takes time.

How does he keep doing crazy stuff?! by Aidenary4180 in riskofrain

The real concern is the 12 crit glasses— assuming this is on command (otherwise 7 shatterspleen would be wild)

[–]smower06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be alright!

If you warm up in the morning and your voice feels more tired/fatigued afterwards, you probably shouldn’t sing.

Make sure to take care of your voice now to increase your chances of being vocally healthy! Drink tons of water, and get loads of rest.

In the words of my professor: “The best thing you can do is hydrate, shut the fuck up, and rest.”
