As a member of the performing arts world, I have been involved in lots of musical productions, both vocal and instrumental, and staged and non-staged. I would like to point out some things about these areas which I find unprofessional. These are points that I will touch briefly on but will expand on in the near...VERY near future.
1. Never let a person who is singing impaired perform a singing role just because he/she is good at other things such as dancing, wardrobe, and acting.
2. Under no circumstance should a rehearsal accompanist not have practiced music just because he/she is not playing in the actual performance.
3. A director should always take notes and have prepared the choreography in advance so that it won't keep changing during every rehearsal period.
4. All performers need to be treated equal despite experience and level of musicianship!!
5. Over-rehearsal can be bad!!!
6. Never over-work a performer!
7. Basic music skills, such as reading music, singing in tune, etc., are needed.
As I mentioned before, these are only a few things that I am discussing at this time. More to come in the future.
Ciao
