A Theatre Kid's Life

Wait... there's a life outside of theatre and tumblr?

Easiest way to piss off a costume designer and get itching powder in your costume:

Complain about costume (and express your dislike of it)

Anybody else perform Almost Maine and now say

“Jeezum Crow” all the time?

PLEASE READ:

Ok hear me out! I was watching Hamilton on Disney +. So Disney + has Disney movies, right? But I would pay for a theatre version. I can’t afford to travel and see incredible shows and people wouldn’t watch bootlegs as much. And personally, If I could I would STILL go see it live. Or at least shows that aren’t running anymore could be on it. Does anyone agree?!?! Like I want this so bad!

The greatest pains I have ever felt are from removing MIC TAPE AND LIQUID LATEX!

I don’t know about anyone else... but I would’ve loved to see Omelet the musical.

For my female actors! Does anyone else get nervous that Mother Nature might make a call during a performance or dress rehearsal? Or that you will bleed through your costume? Or is that just me?

Is it asking too much to want a partner that has a good human being personality, willing to go to shows, allow me to listen to musicals in the car, and like Jacksepticeye and Markiplier enough to watch old videos with me? Am I asking too much?

LMAOOOOOO

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

[fernacular]

So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting: 

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles

[drrockbell]

I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.

Looking for a costumer? Just follow the line of safety pins, thread, and needles.

[constantly-in-character]

Every actor needs to direct at least once and every director needs to act at least once.

[constantly-in-character]

Just because I’m an actor doesn’t mean I enjoy public speaking.

[constantly-in-character]

One of the biggest lies my director ever told me was, “We are just going to run through this scene one more time.”

[constantly-in-character]

Once you figure out your role type, a weight starts to lift from your shoulders

Duck Tape can fix anything? Nah, Gaff tape and safety pins fix anything.
