    I love 32 bar cut so much. What you guys offer is SUCH A GIFT. And I've been around a long time (58 years old) when Backstage was a newspaper! and there was no youtube or internet so to be able to hear from and learn from actual Broadway performers...the youngins' have no idea how valuable this is, and I THANK YOU!

    Oh my Gosh! This video helped me SO MUCH!!! I come from an opera background and I haven't acted or performed in 12 years. I just decided about a month ago to pivot toward a musical theater career. To be honest, I'm so uneasy about it and questioning everything along the way. Your videos have helped and this one in particular has given me hope that I can have the career in theater that I seek.

    These advices are beautiful. I wish I knew them before drama school as well. Lack of worthiness was amongst the reasons why I didn't pursue a stage career after I graduated. Now I've rediscovered my courage and worth and started a RUclips Channel!
    Thank you so much for your presence and wise words. 🙏❤️

    I have said "no" to roles in new scripts that I auditioned for initially because, once I was able to read more of the piece, I realized it was not for me (sometimes, usually in terms of messaging :/). I have to live with the messages I put out into the world as a storyteller even at the risk of offending someone. But that's just how I live my life as an actor.

    This is fantastic and much appreciated! I work with a lot of children and teens that want to have a career in musical theater. I'm definitely going to recommend that they watch this video and follow you closely. :-)

    Thank you for such good words ❤ can you talk more about your opera background and why you made the switch? I’ve also been trained in opera and I still want to pursue that… but also musical theater 👀

  • @marcelworrellmiller
    @marcelworrellmiller 3 года назад +1

    Gurl, I feel the same way, every point you made hit close to home. Coming from classical music and now doing musical theater does something to your head at times.

    • @32BARCUT

      I know you know! It’s all in our heads though. No one is coming after us for making a switch.

      Hi Rosline! Thank you so much! 💗 I love that suggestion! Thank you 😊 I have something similar out. It was actually my first video, so it’s got a few “new RUclipsr quirks” but I’ll drop the link here anyhow. ruclips.net/p/PLBY1PYO69Nzq_Jn32270c25brSA9LvQOh It’s called “What’s My Type”
      Are you a musical theatre actor?

    I have felt insecure for years, because I come from an operatic background, too. I have been audtioning for musical theatre projects, and over the past year I have been listening to more musical theatre songs and practicing in a musical theatre style and I think it's starting to flourish a bit; I think I'm figuring out how to belt (I think). However, I still am getting turned down and I have wondered, repeatedly, it is for me? Am I just not meant to do this? (and the worst question I was asked, from someone who is MY age: "Aren't I too old?" -- now, I'm wondering if there's some sort of... secret bias going on behind the scene -- yes, I'm very scared right now. ) Thank you for sharing all of this. It is really hard to get into theatre when you want to, but have a classical background -- especially in London. It's nice to know I'm not alone. xxxx

      Hey Jocasta! Thanks for sharing your story. I know it's hard. Try your best to ignore dismissive comments, because the truth is, you have something unique to offer. Your classical background, look and age are what make you YOU. The trick is to just keep at it (if this is your passion) and hopefully, the right casting team, show, producer etc. will see you! Keep encouraged and keep sharpening your skills. You got this! 😃

    Overall great content.
    I have to respectfully disagree with the “I am enough” comment and mantra that’s so pervasive these days.
    Maybe a particular person isn’t enough to get the role. That doesn’t mean they aren’t a valuable person and separating who you are as a person from your ability to be cast in a role or accomplish. Something else is critical.
    You can learn to be happy with yourself and also , not content with where you’re at in a given skill or ability or even an emotional capacity. Yeah idea that “you are enough“ right now where you are at is ridiculous. No one should go through life thinking they have arrived. They should instead go through life, striving to become better in every way that is important to them.
    I recognize there is an unhealthy alternative extreme of self criticism and self loathing and I’m certainly not advocating for that. But to go to the complete opposite extreme is also unhealthy in the big picture. Be at peace with who you are, and at the same time desire to become a better person every day.

    Do you need a website nowadays? Isn’t instagram enough? Most sites give you a place to add a resume and link to social media

    • @32BARCUT
      @32BARCUT  Год назад

      Great question! Personally, I think websites are still relevant, especially for musical theatre actors. Take a look at a couple of your most established musical theatre actors (Kelli O’Hara, Audra McDonald… ) they are doing Broadway, tv/film are well established and they still have websites. They also do concerts and have a whole calendar schedule and their website is a place where people can book them for events or reach their reps.
      Instagram is not their only web presence. When I look at Kelli or Audra’s insta I see. Representation of who they are as women, as mothers and sometimes as professional actors - not necessarily their comp card and all their credits and why you should hire them.
      My advice is to have BOTH! Enjoy Instagram, and create it in a way that shows who you are. But I stand firm that a professional presence online other than social media is still important. That may change in the coming years. But the people casting are still old school. They will take you as seriously as you take yourself. Squarespace is a great place to get your website started.
      Best of luck to you! And thank you for your question!
