Today

Hello again!

Today we had our first real rehearsal for the musical. The first with scenes, singers and actors, I mean. After the run-through we relocated to the theater where we'll have our premier. Instantly I fell in love... With the soundtechnician's microphone rack... Anyhow! We've started rigging everything up and tomorrow morning we'll soundcheck and start the second run-through.

Yesterday (which isn't today, btw) I finished my english-essay about the developement and heritage of rock and it's impact on contemporary society and I also finished my analysis on Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Hope that'll do for now.

One thing that struck me today was the fact that many of our singers actually sing VERY good! Especially the one playing Sandy. She's a very talented jazz-singer.
On the other hand, the guy playing Danny, a good friend of mine, isn't as good... He's rather a diva and quite selfabsorbed. Any good tips to get his feet on the earth again?

So, how was your day?

  1. you cant get selfabsorbed people back down to earth... i think you will never be able to change peoples personalitys fast. and turn your f* captcha off!

  2. Good luck with your show ;)

    Maybe if the self-absorbed guy saw that he wasn't that good, he'll stop behaving that way, although I doubt he'll do that on his own from the look of things.

  4. Someone that got my out of my self-absorbed funk, was a shot of reality.
    try to say as nicely as you can, "You AREN'T talented enough to act like we're depended on you"

  5. The problem is that his mother is encouraging him to be this way... well, he's allright I suppose .) atleast he's got the energy and charisma!

  10. Just tell him his performance is better appreciated without a shot of smugness - having to tell everyone how good you are is just a terrible way of making up for shortfalls you don't want to work on.
