Beauty and the Beast - If I Can't Love Her

Not one of my best performances, mainly because I kept running out of air, I really wasn't breathing right. It gets really hard to sing in that costume. Muscle suit, black shirt, white shirt, cape, wig, makeup, prostechtic hair/nose, fake bottom teeth ;) I shoulda held some notes longer at the start and started a little softer. I'm sorry I couldn't hit the note at the end! I just scream and roar if I cant hit that note some nights. And yes, the theatre is in a roudn! I played Beast in one cast and Gaston in another. Enjoy!

Sorry, not trying to be rude, but there are many many people who wear much more makeup/prothetics and can still hit those notes, and breathe properly. Don't make excuses.

Ya...was my first time having to wear all that gear, I was 19 and not terribly trained yet, nor did we really have a music director for the show, that didn't help. Its been over 4 years since this show, should probably check out my more recent stuff then judge. Here let me help you, try searching... "Sontag Dentist" or "Sontag Cinderella".

Case in point, a lot has changed since then.

That see is all wrong. he actually rips her sleeve off and your back should never be toward audience.

[rokannis]

its theatre in the round smart guy, the audience surrounds the center, hence your back will always be toward someone at some point

[MusicalGirl4983]

That was a good idea to justkind of shout the last note and roar! I liked it! :D

@rokannis I personally think you have a GORGEOUS VOICE!!! I even applaud you for all the hard work you've done. It didn't seem like those stage lights were any help at all for your costume and prosthetic makeup. I still applaud you. You were MAGNIFICENT!!! BRAVO!!!

@excjrock7 its ammiture to suggest that you can never have your back to an audience ... especially in the round, haha! ... some performances work better at certain points when you do have your back to the audience, depends on the mood, the play, the layout, the lighting, everything. This is a very good performance, despite what Rokannis knows could have been improved. Still, great job! And well covered up, some would have just crashed and burned, you didnt. Well done.

Ya and they are usually professionals haha. This is clearly a youth show and probably his first time ever having to wear prostechtics. The guy is probably 18 here. Get over it bro.

the point is that the beast is just an ugly creature so thats a good description
