RE: Voice acting

Hello Donavon, Voice acting is my side hustle and I love talking about it with anyone who's interested. I got started about 9 years ago narrating audiobooks and that's gradually led to doing more commercial work and video game characters. A great place to start is www.iwantobeavoiceactor.com--lots of ...

Greetings awesome theatre directors,  We are beginning rehearsals for Nevermore (insert long subtitle). The books and vocal score do not include a by character song breakdown. I'm hoping someone here has already undertaken this hateful task and would be willing to share.  We're especially trying ...

Robert,I am experiencing the same issues. Audrey Cho is supposed to be our rep. Hasn't responded to emails, mailbox is full. I'm trying to track down our payment that was sent to them in November. No word back. If something has happened I understand but perhaps another rep could let her clients know? ...

RE: Foam Set Pieces Help

Hey gang,I'm just curious how you manage to bypass the fire codes when you're using foam. Our local fire marshal hates the theatre and if he even smells foam he'll threaten to shut down the show... Once even threatened to shut down the school. We love to use foam sheets because of their versatility, ...

Rebecca, I have always shopped at stagemakeuponline.com for all my makeup purchases. Great selection, wonderful customer service. My go to brand is Ben Nye cremes, latex, sfx blood, and brushes. I like Mehron's spirit gum over Ben Nye, Kryolan makes some wonderful powders. Truly though, it'll take ...

Arden (and others), In my experience through contracting plays with Samuel French, Dramatists, MTI or R & H, schools aren't required to pay in full upfront. There is usually a deposit but the bulk is due within a week of close. A straight play from French usually runs $75 to $100 per show, with a per ...

Good morning Robert, I don't know about any new products available but there is an older product that's done wonders for folks in this situation. It's called "Call Her Bluff". If she's already breached a signed contract and still refuses to accept your compromise then replace her. Worst case scenario, ...

Hey gang, Our website for both our troupe and theatre department is: http://www.improvateers.comI built the site myself using Dreamweaver and hosted with ipower.com (it's inexpensive and provides a tremendous amount of features). It helps that that's what I used to do before being a real boy (that is, ...

Hello Jordanne, We did the show last year and I would do it again in a heartbeat. If done in the style, meaning, intent of the original production the show is a marvelous romp. The music does present a small challenge, but now I believe there is a track available (it's been mentioned somewhere in another ...

Brian, I spent two years earning a master certification in Meisner and after having taught it at the high school level for the last three years, I must say that it is well worth exploring and offering to your high school aged students. I have modified the work to suit high school students, but for ...

Good afternoon Laura, We are going to New York on May 31st for the second time in the last three years. The first company we used (ProMusica) was okay.

Hey Ellen, We did Charlotte's Web last year and did not fly Charlotte. We did some creative costuming for the animals like using a leotard with stuffing sewn on for the sheep. For Templeton we found an awesome pink and grey plaid suit coat, used pipe cleaners for whiskers, and a long piece of stuffed ...

Laura, I read a lot of text books prior to teaching theatre (that was almost 9 years ago) and came across many that helped me create lessons and activities for my classes. I have yet to come across a text book that I would assign as the class text. For that matter, I could not conceive of teaching theatre ...
