RED FLAG BEHAVIOR! THE SILENT TREATMENT

Has  your boyfriend disappeared like a poof of smoke? No more texts coming in from him? Is he not calling you, returning your calls or texting you back? Are you confused or even worried, because you two have NOT broken up, yet he is not communicating with you? Welcome to THE SILENT TREATMENT! This is a nifty little method which some people utilize to avoid dealing with an uncomfortable or inconvenient issue which has surfaced. It doesn't mean that he has left you. He is not necessarily gone for good, he is simply using this tactic to gain control and distance. Your boyfriend either doesn't want to deal with a subject you have brought up, an argument that is awaiting resolution, a topic that needs addressing but may be stressful,  or a commitment that you need from him. He also may be using the silent treatment to punish you for a "transgression" he feels you have committed against him. Your boyfriend quite possibly may be using this space he has created to go out there and check his options. THE SILENT TREATMENT - How convenient! An additional benefit to him is that the silent treatment throws you off balance, makes you squirm, makes you miss him and with any luck, may even put you into the mindset that any contact from him, after a dry spell like this, is preferable than this torture, ensuring you will be sure to be on your "best behavior "in order to prevent the possibility of him going missing again! (Oh boy! He is in control now!) A healthy normal male will never ever employ this tactic. He loves his lady and prefers to establish a sense of harmony and safety in the relationship. A healthy male partner encourages his lady to tell him what is bothering her. He is working toward, not running away from commitment. If he offended or upset her he seeks to right the wrong, not to disappear for days at a time. If she offended or upset him, he is capable of expressing his upset in a non confrontational way, and he has no need to "punish" her. Be aware that the disappearing act is NOT normal acceptable behavior in  a relationship and is not to be tolerated. The one thing we don't want to do is to accept such behavior and allow unhealthy patterns to form. So what to do if your guy has disappeared for a while and then resurfaces as if nothing has happened? I suggest meeting with him in person and explaining him that you are more than willing to communicate about whatever is bothering him, but that you are not prepared to be in a relationship with a partner who thinks it is acceptable to cut off communication with you. If he is not cool with that, skedaddle! Your man is a Red Flag Man. Further insights on this and other Red Flag topics will be found in my  soon to be completed book: RED FLAG MAN by Brenda Sassoon I welcome your questions and comments! Stay tuned for more!

Are there any types of songs you should try and avoid during an audition, like patter songs or accents? (For a girl/alto) (This is for a high school audition btw) Thank you!!

Good question!  Some things to avoid in picking a song…

Patter songs. Yeah, we should probably have a patter in our book, but it shouldn’t be our go-to.  It doesn’t get to show off your voice!  It more shows off your…Talking.

“So and so’s iconic song.”   Don’t Rain on My Parade is Streisand’s iconic song. Defying Gravity is Menzel’s.  Don’t try to compete with these people–you will automatically be compared to them.  It has little to do with how good you are, and more to do with the fact that it’s difficult for a listener to separate the song from the person who has so famously sung it!

Things that have been on Broadway in the last five years.  If it’s for high school, not as big of a deal, but for professional work, this is a loose rule.  They often just become SO saturated in the audition room, particularly after the Tony’s.

Things outside your age range.  I know we’re all highly versatile and can play anything, but please stay within your age range!

Things outside your race.  What I mean by this is, don’t be singing The Color Purple if you’re a white girl.  Obviously I don’t mean that actors of color can't sing If I Were A Bell or some song that has been often cast as a white actor... I’m talking…Dreamgirls, In the Heights, Miss Saigon…You get the drift, white actors. Be respectful and cognizant that not every song is for us.  

Something within your gender.  My only exception here are golden age jazz standards–women can sing those as well, no big deal.  

Songs that are too vulgar.  Now, if you’re auditioning for Spring Awakening, have at it.  But if it’s for high school or a show that’s not very explicit, try not to go too extreme with cursing and provocativeness.  You just don’t want to make your director uncomfortable. 

Songs that are too character driven.  What I mean by this are things like Adelaide’s Lament.  I have no clue why this song is so damn overdone–it’s obnoxious and it’s nasally and doesn’t actually show off you!  So make sure it’s you, your voice, and your acting shining–not an exaggerated character.  

Songs that require an accent to execute.  Again, they want to see you, not your accent!  They’ll ask for the accent if they want to hear it!  And you don’t want to be struggling with that during the audition.

Sondheim and Jason Robert Brown. It’s too complex to sight read.  Don’t set yourself up for disaster by handing the accompanist something they can’t execute!

Disney. It’s too overdone.

Thoroughly Modern Millie, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Les Mis, The Wild Party, Hairspray, Drowsy Chaperone…

Glitter and Be Gay.

I know it seems like that must eliminate pretty much EVERYTHING, but I promise it doesn’t! There are hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of suitable audition songs and I guarantee there’s many out there for you!
