Arts & Humanities: Theater & Acting: “Question: Anyone knows the title of this dramatic war music?” plus 4 more


Question: Anyone knows the title of this dramatic war music?

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 08:24 PM PDT

Update : It's featured in many ancient roman war related movie trailers. With high octave voices, trumpets and drums, the beat goes like:

Bum bum bum bum.-pause- Bum bum bum bum. -pause- Bum bum bum bum~ bum~ bum bum~. Bum bum bum bum.-pause- Bum bum bum bum. -pause-Bum bum bum bum~ bum~ bum bum~. BUM BUM
BUM BUM. -pause- BUM BUM BUM BUM. -pause- BUM BUM BUM BUM~ BUM~ BUM BUM~

Question: Famous or Average? Please answer?

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 07:46 PM PDT

Nothing is more common than the wish to be remarkable.
That's a quote from 'The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table written in 1858 by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

But if all you're interested in is being famous, noticed, recognised, 'special' and so on - forget it right now.
Why would you want to be famous?
Being famous isn't how kids imagine, and fame is the last thing you should want or aim for.
Wanting fame is the worst possible reason for doing anything.
Do something because you love it, aim to be good at it, and most importantly, aim to be happy - but never aim for fame - it's a sure-fire way to guarantee failure.

The statistics are that out of every 100 auditions a drama school graduate applies for, they're lucky to get invited to attend one or two. And out of every 100 they get to attend, they might win one or two small roles, each lasting just a day or two. In a whole year, the average actor gets two or three weeks paid acting work in total. The rest of the time they all work in ordinary jobs - they just don't go around telling anyone!

If you really want to try, knowing how hard it's going to be, get into a good acting school in your free time and start learning. If you progress from basic classes to intermediate and then to advanced within a few years, maybe you have some talent and could take it further. If you join a good community theatre and you always get leading roles, again you can assume that you have talent.
After that, try to get into a good university-level course and study acting.
After you graduate, you might be able to get an agent, who might be able to find you some auditions, and if you're really good, and really lucky, you might get the occasional job.

Good luck - but please forget about the whole 'fame' thing. It's a naive, childish dream.

Question: Where can I find a shorter version of the song "I Won't Say I'm in Love"?

Where can I find a shorter version of the song "I Won't Say I'm in Love"?

I will be auditioning for the main roll in a play and we are limited to one minute to sing a song of our choice. I am planning on singing "I won't say I'm in love" form the Disney movie Hercules. I have been searching for a shorter, and instrumental version of the song with the muses singing in it. Any help?

Question: 1920's girl reported?

Short, curly/wavy hair was really popular in the 1920s, and a news reporter would want a hairstyle that kept her hair out of her face.

If she's a reporter at like political conferences and press releases, then she would want her hair to look classy. If she's a field reporter, then her hair would be styled to minimize complexity, while keeping it out of her way.

Here's what I would imagine for someone going to a formal event:

And these styles might be better for someone in the field

That's if you plan on styling it. Straight hair, pulled and tied in the back, has always been in style, was worn by women of all types in the 20s, and suits just about any occasion.

Question: I am 13 and auditioning for Peter Pan and the Addams family. I am a very funny actor. What parts would be good for me?

Posted: 27 Aug 2014 07:02 PM PDT

Forget the 'funny actor' thing.
Are you a good actor? And your own opinion doesn't count.

Any good actor can be funny, serious, dramatic, emotional - everything.
Go for any roles which look interesting, fun, challenging and suitable for your gender, age, and appearance.
