| Posted: 12 Nov 2015 10:57 PM PST Every now and then there is a question like this one that makes Y/A worth while. Off the top of my head, I'll give you three options; two in text and one video example. First, how about the urbane, sophisticated playboy with a lady hanging off of each arm. Sort of a Hugh Hefner type. Second, a skid row bum desperate for a drink and crushed by the loss of prestige he held in Greece two thousand years ago. And third, maybe something like this guy: |
| Question: Getting drunk before a school play? Posted: 12 Nov 2015 10:08 PM PST It's not hard to act like a dumbass. Just look at the people around you. As a director, I can tell you that if I caught you drinking alcohol before a performance, you'd be out on your behind faster than the curtain can go up. But that's only because I value my staging, and the intricacy required to put a truly great piece of art onstage. You may not understand the value of your "disposable extra" part, but trust me, you're not disposable...unless you make yourself so. Break a leg. And do it sober. |

| Question: As far as opera is concerned, do pay to play programs help you get roles? Posted: 12 Nov 2015 07:33 PM PST It gets you roles in the pay-to-play company, but I don't see how it would necessarily look good on your resume if you ONLY appeared in such productions. There are some non-profit groups (and it still costs THEM money to mount a production) I know of that still hold auditions and don't guarantee you will be cast, and only if you are, you are expected to pay some small fee that is usually called anything other than "fee". Sometimes, they we will waive the money if there is someone who has talent, but can't afford to pay. Personally, I don't like the idea at all. I rather not be in something than pay my way in (outside of having to pay for my own music score if needed, costuming, things like that). Other groups, you literally bribe your way in and it doesn't matter one bit if you actually have any training or talent. Those types of groups eventually get a bad reputation among other opera companies, singers, and audiences for substandard productions. If you have money to enroll in anything, enroll in the best private singing lessons you can find, and enroll in a legit university or conservatory that will give you the kind of training that will help open doors to apprenticeships and jobs in professional opera. If this is a hobby, proper training is still necessary to avoid severe vocal damage if you sing actual operatic productions (not just an isolated aria here and there).
