Thanks for the info.
How many times do I have to say I like your singing before you believe me? you are great. Just have more confidence.
Oh since your scottish, can you tell me a little bit what life is like over there. I am a scotish/romainan/canadian born american. I got to go to scotland on school trips but thats it. I am studying to be a nurse and hopefully I can move there if I can save up money.

Your welcome.
Thanks.
Life is very good in scotland, i really enjoy it. what do you want to know in particular.
Btw, who is your overall favourite Gustave?

Is there a country side? Whats the medical system like? what are some of the laws? How are 19 year olds who sometimes act like two year olds looked at? (I get very hyper around animatronics). How do some people react to sound because as I said I am used for making props for plays. And i get bored, very easily. Whats the main forms of entertainment? I would ask you about college but I don't know if you are in college. Your 16/17 right?
As for my gustaves, I love certain things about each one. Charlie Manton-Gotta love his voice. Harry Child-Looks enough like ramin to be his son. Richard Linnel-his innocence. But I think Charlie comes out ahead. Me and one of my "friends", person who i swear is stalking me, got in a pretty severe arguement about him.

Yes, there is a beautiful country side!
Medical system is very very good.
Laws, I'm not sure, but should be similar to other countries.
You'll be fine!
Main forms of entertainment are cinema, theatre, etc. usual stuff!
My favourite is Charlie Manton!
What was the argument about?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Let me tell you the entire situation so you can see how bad the situation was. My science club saw love never dies on opening night. When we got back to school, in honor of the play we decided to do a productions , which has some interesting stories, of it. unfortuantly our teacher also had the "genius" idea of putting on a production of phantom at the same time. Therefore,during the actual performance days, Phantom would be performed in the moring with LND perfomed that evening. The cast who had a character role in phantom would reprise that role in lnd. I played christine, and was a stage mangager/prop-stage maker so I did not look forward to that because I had time to do nothing. Anyway, me and my friend stayed late one night making the stage. Over the seats, there is the wood rafters that you walk on and hang stugg over the audience. That was where I was during our arguement. my "friend",who saw a performance by charlie,asked me if I knew about him. When I said yes, she asked me if he was gay. At that point I went "wtf, what brought that on?" She said that he had to be gay because of his voice said they maid a mistake of casting him as gustave because he sounded like a girl. She said any male who had a voice like that was gay, a pedophile or emotionally disturbed and should not be allowed to sing. Keep in mind she is hammering wood to make the piano.When she said that I replied "This coming from a Justin Beiber fan?" And then I returned to my work. As soon as I turned my back, I felt something hit the side of my head real hard and lost my balance. I fell 27 feet crashing into the seats. When I landed on my feet, my legs snapped and I hit the floor. I looked at her and then at the object that hit me. It was the hammer. She threw it at me and said that is not the same circumstance.

Oh my god!
Are you alright?
That is horrible!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not yet. My cousing is very protective of that recording.
AS for my injuries yeah I am alright. I have a habit of getting prety badly hurt but I have a very fast healing rate. Wheras it takes over 6 weeks for a regular person to heal a broken bone, my body is so used to it that it only takes a week.
Would you like to know about some errors in production? The only thing that went wrong during our first actual performance was Meg( played by me good friend ashely hilton), and christine (me) death scence. Wheras she was supposed to get the gun that sends out a loud bang only, she got the paintball gun by accident, which was loaded, and shot me point blank. The blood on my dress was real. Other than that the other two productions went smooothly. It was just the rehearsals that everything that could go wrong went wrong.

Choose a song or character and I will tell you about some of the mishaps we had.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Instead of the chandelier of medusa heads, we had a hydra animatronic that swung its heads and tails ( the thing had 16 heads and 9 tails). During the song, one of the tails was got caught on challen's, gustave, vest and he was swung around. We tried to get him off;we forgot the stupid machine was hooked up to the wall. Eventually the vest came apart and challen was sent crashing into darius, the phantom. The impact sent them both into the orchestra pit. Both were fine. Challen wanted to get on again, typical for a 9 year old.
During phantom confronts christine, we had madame giry, played by our professor dr. rich, throw stuff off stage. When she trew the music book off stage to the side, it hit challen in head. He yelled, "I will make you wish this bastard had never been born!" and tried to charge her. Thankfully Darius was able to hold him back.
During mother please I'm scared, challen came running to hold me. When he did, he made me trip, hit darius and knock the mask off. challen was hyper and tried, very badly, to make his own lines. " (terrified) mother please i'm scared, what a dream, an awful dream. (Awkwardly) why is there a stange man glaring at me, who's he?"
During "please miss giry", he knocked down ashely,meg, while struggling into where the "water" was. He went " ding dong, the witch is dead". Can we keep that in the play? Please?
During "beautiful", the piano we made was a keyboard that the setting could be on classic piano or a very heavy metal. While playing the "beautiful" notes, he accidently turned the setting to the heavy metal version. The loud noise scared him and he jumped back. We had to bribe him to get him to go back to the piano.
During the finale, We had gustave run and jump into the phantom's arms and have phantom carry him off on stage. While running, he stepped on my arm ,making me rise up and trip him,he went crashing into darius's legs, which knocked darius off the stage for the umpteenth time. Challen went "mother you're alive!. It's a miracle, right father? father? father? daddy?"
During what a dreadful town, challen tried to show mathew, raoul the music box. He accidently threw up at him, hit mathew in the chin, and effectivly destroyed our music box. He looked around sheepishly and shyly went to sing "I'm gettin nothing for christmas"
During the finale, we were going to have the ending that gustave hugs his father around the waist and the phantom sticks his hand out to christine. We changed this for this reason. Challen, height 4'2, Darius, height 6'9, when he tried to hug Darius's waist, challen's face was in a very inappriopriate place. Challen's face got red." Can we just shake hands instead"
During please miss giry, when meg pulled out the gun on the phantom, challen went " you got a gun? why are you trying to drown me then? does this time frame even have guns? When in the heck are we?"
these are just a few, so if you want to know about more of challen's ability to break the fourth wall. I will send some more in the next message. this message is getting long.

Gotta love him. Seriously I gotta love him, he is my little brother. I have no choice in the matter
He broke my toe during the dancing scene in "look with your heart".
He knocked mathew down during the "father, look, right over there" part by pulling on his arm and jumping rapidly.
He kept breaking down crying at the ending because of what happens. Even at the production, his tears were real.
During rehearsal, at gustave's scream part, he turned to flee from the phantom and his arm whacked darius in the head. The blow completely destroyed 6 hours of work because it completely destroyed the deformity.
He forgot his lines in every single song he was in at least once and improvised by making his own lyrics. if you want to know some, give me a song. There is too many otherwise.
He did not react well to the cameraman. When the "picture" was took, challen promptly attacked the poor guy.
when darius grabbed challen during the beauty underneath scene to have him look at the mechanical betoveen, in our production it was a werewolf playing the piano that we sto-uh borrowed from our band teacher, challen was unprepared and struck, effectivly knocking the mask off.

Aww, he sounds awesome
Do you have photos or videos or audio?
What were his lyrics for The Beauty Underneath?
Did you do this on stage?
Hey would you please check out my lastest journal on my page? Thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
we did this at my college in their auditorium.
His lyrics for beauty underneath were very weird:
It's the music in your head
Is it live or is it dead?
Have you embraced the chase for the beauty underneath?
does it make your mind intense?
does my song make any sense?
tell me you need it too. Need the beauty underneath( hey the brat actually remembreded that part.)
The only pictures I have are just us hanging around the college. I was too busy to properly collect anything. Someone probaly got audio but I didn't since i was a double role.

Already read it. No offense but you need to focus on one character. Trying to focus on two is really going to stress out your body.
Sent the email to you. Darius's voice is usually deeprer than it is on the audio. He just told me he was bored and see how he sounded with a higher pitch.

Have you ever seen or heard of PHANTOM: An American Musical Sensation?
i also played christine in that version of it. It was very awkward. During rehearsal on the song "my mother bore me" The phantom, played by austin ray, basically goes bezerk. I went "dude, seriously, thats real smart erik. You love christine yet you want to kill her! Talk about bipolar. Stay away psycho!"
The next song was basically running for my life.

Nope, is that the ken hill musical or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I forget who wrote it, it may be ken hill. Next time your on youtube, type in "phantom my mother bore me."
Look for a version that is around 5-6 minutes because this song is actually two in one. Listen to the "Christine" part on the later end of the song and imagine the look on my face when we were rehearsing it.

Ok i will do that tomorrow.
Do you have any advice for my videos?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Based on previous videos:
1. Relax- no one is judging you. the world is not going to end if you mess up.
2. Choose a character: You will loose your sanity if you try to play two characters at once.
3. Rehearse: Warm up your voice and stretch before performing.
4. Just Have Fun!!! Everyone gets nervous, but this is what helps. Everytime I am on stage, i think to myself "I'm gonna have some fun".
This help?
