maybe find someone whos more musically inclined to co-direct with you
one fo the productions i worked on had two directors for that exact purpose
I have a person in mind, but I’m not sure how to approach it when she’d be doing her own musical
also you gotta deal with the licencing for the peices/show youre gonna use/do
jsut because theres a few approaches you can use
IE: compiling songs that you can legally use (which for school is pretty much whatever you want) and writing a play around them
or using an already existing script
Maybe if I have off time I could talk about it
having to deal with teaching all the parts too, thats pretty important and is a big reason why you need to know abouut music shizzzz
I was thinking evening primrose, and I could find some people interested
especially if youre younger it tends to be hard to find people that can actually sing properly that arent suuuuper stage shy and can act
but also
its doesnt nessesarily have to be perfect because of that too 😛 its just going to be better if you do
Neat found a version with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters
casting is important
also if youre directing you gotta be hella patient but you seem to fit the bill from the little amoust we've discussed
Well I’d be focusing around the original and be making financial changes
gotta have the gear for it which is somewhat specific in terms of having headset microphones and the wireless system that permits the performers to move around the stage, following the stage directions accordingly
Totally, teacher talked about investing in body mics for the show my friend was planning to direct
>casting
>not grabbing exclusively women and minorities from your social circles
XD LOOOOL yeah the casting couch is out of the question
Not the casting couch, the Steven Universe method
Talent doesnt matter, only identity+association
also finding women that can sing act nd arent attention whores (pardon the term) so they can deal with not being the lead
tho mind you it tends to be the best singer with the appropriate range that gets the lead
obvs looks matter but hey thats what the wonders of the costume department are for
and makeup
finding men that cna sing and act tho....... good luck
I don’t really care much about voice, I’d settle for someone reliable and willing to participate
mayeb go to the nearest LGBTQ space and get some of the dudes there
or
advertise it to dudes that theyd be working with alot of girls
That’s not much of a phase
I’d rather dig around at juniors and push on people who seem particularly interested
i know i like working with girls 😛
Maybe I could do it as a community service project
(and no not to harrass them)
yeah that could be a good idea
I need to it anyway
In IB we need to do “cas”
yeah at least youd be doing something fun
