30 Things Every Musical Theatre Actor Should Know How to Do!

[@imnobodysbusiness684]

I did “she loves me” and “into the woods” in college; I love theatre.

[@mariajose-ym7km]

Thank you so much for your tips as always, I don't know how this is free 😂. I'd love to see a video about choosing the right material/songs for an audition.

[@ChondraProfit]

Don't give other actors NOTES 😳

[@32BARCUT]

Hahaha! I can hear you saying this. And also... I feel like that's exactly what we do on this channel. But also, yes, DON'T give other actor's notes. Total pet peeve of mine. Perhaps... I see a new video in the making....

[@tredelmusic]

This was very beneficial for me. As a new theater actor this has given me some great tips. Thank you two for sharing these tips with us

[@pugzz6931]

As a freshman in high school I find these tips very helpful. One big one I’d like to mention is always know where your props are and how and when you’re going to get to them

[@32BARCUT]

Great tip! What show(s) are you working on?

[@pugzz6931]

@@32BARCUT Right now I’m currently in The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical as Chiron and the understudy for Percy. A few weeks ago we were running the show for the first time and I forgot Percy’s sword that he grabs from my wheelchair and the pen I throw to him and I felt so unprepared

Another wonderful episode as always guys. As a black person with a LOT of hair and the same hair type as Adrienne, I'd love to see a WIG Prep video! It'll be so nice to finally see someone with our hair texture doing a video on it!

Walker/Cook tutorials are officially a "Thing" in my career! Gems & Pearls with every video. Re: making a "bad script/line work." I heard an interview with the late Patrick Swayze, where he said he worked like hell to make, 'Nobody puts Baby in a corner,' work. Hard work, iconic line.

[@yliggins]

Thank you for these tips. Very helpful.

[@madelinebrennan9636]

Do you have any vides addressing tours? how to prepare? what to expect? skills to have for touring? tour stuff :)

[@32BARCUT]

That's a great idea! We have both toured a bunch, we'll work on that video!

@@32BARCUT Before Sept 1, please! haha! :)

[@jesscaley_]

Thanks for all the info! You guys are really helpful. I think it'd be cool to see a video about your onstage mishap stories!

[@32BARCUT]

Ooooo! We LOVE that suggestion! I see a video on the horizon!

[@alfiemarie]

what do you mean when you say know how to plunk your parts? is it like being able to play it on the piano?

[@32BARCUT]

Right! Just learning enough piano to play your part one note/rhythm at a time. It’s a skill that you can learn and will use your entire musical career. In musical theater, we call playing the solo vocal lines “plunking.”

[@zerenokumuss]

I really want to be a musical actress. But I am from Turkey and we dont have any Musical Theatre Universties here. So I wanna study abroad and that makes everything harder. I really need advices. Cause there is no ona who can be a role model to me. Thank you so so so much for this video. I really want to see more videos. Like tips for the auditions and that kind of staff! Have a lovely day.

[@32BARCUT]

Hey! Thanks for watching! We have lots more videos on audition tips and advice. We are wishing you the best as you traverse this career.

[@bonniemartinez-jackson]

a video on mic/hair/lash prep please, haha! all shows i’ve done were projecting without mic

[@32BARCUT]

Noted! We'll work on that one!

[@marquismcghee1480]

I love your videos !! Watch all the time. Adrienne please do one on the 20th anniversary lion king performance ! I would love to hear about that

[@32BARCUT]

Thank you so much Marquis! I gotchu! I gotchu!

[@thernandezify]

You got me on the lashes!! I have a set but for the life of me, I can't seem to get them on right. And mine are the magnetic kind lol! Great stuff guys!

[@32BARCUT]

I've been wanting to try those magnetic ones! My friends swear by them!

[@sonjayechavarria]

When you're going to an audition for a tap scene, do you have to already know how to, or do you practice before a scene?

[@sonjayechavarria]

I also would like to see some tap dancing videos as well.

[@thernandezify]

@@32BARCUT I got my set from Amazon. They are pretty neat. I'm just horrible at putting on the magnetic liner that the lashes stick to. Can't get them on straight.

[@drewrussellduboff]

I just finished a production of Shrek the Musical as the Big Bad Wolf. I had a campy, exaggerated drag look with fake eyelashes...I learned a lot applying them myself and I still have issues after the 8-show run...

[@32BARCUT]

The things we do to do the things we LOVE to do!

[@JosephGrouse]

Have a good movie dancing I noticed steps on and move any production

[@TheeJosiahJennings]

If i could make a suggestion or maybe ask a question do you think you could do Interviews with actors in High School and Fans Maybe? i would be interested if so!

[@32BARCUT]

We love that suggestion! Right now we are swamped in a few other endeavors, but we will keep that idea in mind for the future! Thanks for watching and sharing!
