Hi. I know I am knew in this group, and I get that I don't really get to go judging you yet, because, like I said, I'm new. But there are a few things that I don't know you realize you are doing that is, aside from really annoying, really obnoxious, and this letter is a polite invitation for you to stop. So here's the list (yes there's a list- get your head out of your ass):
- This is a musical put on by a private high school- no one cares where you take your voice lessons. Right before auditions, I noticed you were all comparing your resumes and nervously asking each other, "Oh my god, should I put that I take voice at ____ and have been since the womb?" It's not that big of a deal. Get over yourselves.
- Similarly, there is no need to print out a formal resume in the first place. I don't know where you think you are, but it sure as hell isn't Broadway. There is plenty of space on the audition sheet to write all the plays the school has previously put on that you were in, even though they clearly already know you were in it because ITS THE SAME SCHOOL!
- We get that you are all amazing singers, but there is only one amazing singing role. I know you all think that the better your voice sounds, the better your part will be, but the fact of the matter is, in this particular play, there is only one lead singing role really. Which means that only one of you can get it. SO... what I am saying is that some of you better stop singing songs for the main role and start singing something that makes you a shoe-in for a second best role because otherwise, your "amazing" voice is gonna end up in the chorus.
- Stop getting so defensive about call backs, you know they are coming and you know that people other than yourself will be getting . You were also at auditions, so you saw how every single one of you tried to showcase their voice as much as possible. That means that since all of you seemed to be trying out for the lead part, (gasp!), they are going to have to call you all back to have you sing again. So don't be surprised when all the other veteran members get a call back for the same parts you did. Also, don't start rumors that some people got call backs for something they didn't, because seen as you are all drama queens (punny right?), someone will be furious that they got a call back for that part and they didn't so there will be a huge drama fest and school work will be at stake because they will refuse to work with that person and honestly, it is not that big of a deal.
Don't think that's all, I just can't think of anymore right now. But in the meantime, work on these ones, ok? Then I will be a much happier member of the drama guild, and won't hate you all so much.
With (conditional) love,
Grainne
