PLEASE AT LEAST TRY THIS. It could be such a fun passion project!!!!!
yall I’ve decided I want to do a redubbing of the ENTIRETY of voltron!!
This would obviously be a big project, so anyone who wants to be involved in script editing, placing audio, voice acting, etc. PLEASE reach out to me! Most importantly, I am LOOKING FOR VOICE ACTORS!! I imagine the male characters will be the hardest to find voices for, so lmk if you have the voice for that! doesn’t have to be exactly the same as the og as long as it fits the character, of course.
we would probably go episode-by-episode, my best way of communicating would be Instagram dms since I don’t have discord but we would also send emails/google drives of the files needed. Please dm me either here or on Instagram (same username) if you want to be involved!! Voice actors, I would appreciate a voice sample as well so I can properly cast you but we can wait until necessary. EVERYONE WILL GET CASTED!! I imagine we won’t get enough actors to fill each tiny role individually, so if you don’t get the role of paladin you’ll certainly be able to voice multiple side characters, so please stay on standby throughout the entire thing in case you get another opportunity to participate.
Thank you! I hope I get to work with a bunch of you :)
What Are Your Top 5 Favorite Musical Songs?
Here are mine(in no particular order):
On My Own: Although I’ve haven’t experienced romantic love yet, I adore this song! It’s well orchestrated and sung by Frances Ruffelle, her voice is beautiful.
The Wizard & I: I can relate to Elphaba’s wish to be accepted since I felt that way too. Idina Menzel’s sings amazingly and gets into character so well. I also saw this song performed live and the way it’s done on stage made me like this song more.
Satisfied: Love the blending of rapping and regular singing in this song. It works so well! Renée Elise Goldsberry nails it and made me see Angelica in a different, but good way.
Breathe: I haven’t heard the whole soundtrack yet, but “Breathe” is such a standout to me so far. Again, I relate to Nina’s fear of disappointing her family(I feel that way 24/7). Mandy Gonzalez sings very well and her high notes are delightful to hear. As an Hispanic, I really enjoyed the addition of Spanish.
I Don’t Need Your Love: Izuka Hoyle nails the vulnerability of Catherine Parr’s sad story of losing her love, and her growing confidence in herself later on. The latter part of the song makes me feel so powerful. All the women singing together by the end was so good! Their voices blended so well together.
Get to know me?
I kinda realized I never really introduced myself, so uh, hi!
My name is Echo :D I am pansexual and genderfluid, as for pronouns, I have no preferences, just don't call me an 'attack helicopter' and we'll be chillin'
I am 16, currently in Junior year, actually really enjoying it right now!
In most of my DR's my name is Eleanor, which is why its my user! I just feel connected to both names
Some non-shifting facts about me:
I have olive-green eyes
I have been singing/playing guitar/acting for around 10 years and I danced for 8 years (still dance for theater and funsies)
I play acoustic, electric, and a little bass
I am in a band as a lead singer and guitarist, we are called "Vessels of Rebirth"!!!
I am an alto-soprano! which is very fun as I can sing very diverse styles of music (my favorites being folk, rock, and gospel)
I am a Christian and follower of God, to whom I love dearly
Although I am a Christian, I do a lot of tarot reading, and I also see and speak with the deceased as well as have prophetic dreams on occasion. I currently have 3 spirits residing in my house, they are quite nice! (Also if you guys have any suggestions on incense please let me know! I need to add to my stash)
I do a ton of art, whether it be sewing, drawing, painting, photography, or making things out of materials, you will always find me with a new project (I'm currently working on a plushie bee for my friend in my Java class!!)
Speaking of java I am loving coding, that shit is cool
At the moment, I am leading in two shows (one is a murder mystery comedy, like clue, where the audience decides who the murderer is! The second is Spamalot, and I am the female lead, Lady of the Lake!!) I am also in the ensemble of Hadestown and doing crew for Little Mermaid! So a ton of theater stuffs going on (would you believe me if I told you I have 6 different theater-based DR's?? teehee)
I do a ton of reading, I love books; it's one of my dreams to have a Hobbit-inspired book room in my future house, complete with a circle door
I have a massive collection of plushies and stuffed animals, all of which I have named and remember perfectly (I love them sm)
My favorite colors are: forest/emerald green, sunset orange, TEAL!!!, deep purples, navy blue, maroon, pastel yellow, and blue/ashy grey
I am very Portuguese, and I love Portuguese food, my favorite being Bifanas
I have two pets, a 7 year old golden retriever named Ridge and an 11 month old ragdoll cat named Dexter (short for Dexteria, yes I am a DnD nerd)
Speaking of DnD, I am currently DM'ing three campaigns, and I'm in around 10-15 other campaigns, I love DnD a lot, it's one of my favorite hobbies
Onto shifting related stuff!
I have been shifting(minishifting partially, still shifting though!!!) since I was around 8 I guess? I didn't realize that was what I was doing at the time, and around 2021 I found out about shifting through a classmate (who brought it up at the most random time possible, an ELA class lol)
The first actual DR I ever made was a My Hero Academia reality, and by birds all mighty that script was ROUGH
But I still hold it close to my heart, even though it was so cringy
I took a break from shifting for like 7 months to a year at most, I believed in it, I just felt more content in my CR, but now I am at a point where I want to explore and be fully happy and learn and grow as myself!
Here is a list of my main DR's!
MPHFPC
Waiting Room
Phantom of the Opera
DnD homebrew (x3)
Better CR
Ever After High DR (x2)
Theater related (x6)
Apartment DR (x2)
Big Bang Theory
ASOUE
College DR (Harvard obviously)
Mad Scientist DR (before you ask, it's a book I'm writing, and No I am not the mad scientist)
Hogwarts (Not my favorite, but definitely for the vibes, witch-craft and ooo riding brooms is super fun! I kinda stay away from the main characters to the best of my ability, besides George tho, that man has my heart)
Those are my most recent ones, they all have their little quirks and loveliness that make them unique to me, if you have any questions about them I would be happy to answer!
I mainly post about my MPHFPC DR and more recently my Waiting Room, since they are the two realities I go to
I hope you guys enjoyed and got to know me a bit better, my asks/comments are always open so feel free to stop in and say ahoy!
Bye-bye for now :D

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

Sometimes, I think that no one actually has a personality, and they r all just pretending. Then I remember I'm autistic. And also a theater performance major. I doubt these three things are connected.

As a light operator for a high school with whom the stage manager loves me, I can not even give you a number where they have just wanted to kill everyktage hand and actor alike because of this. Then there’s our amazing tech dad who just eats Doritos in our microphones during shows just because he can.............
Here’s a fun game to play backstage! Simon Says, but instead of Simon it’s Stage Manager Says and everyone just LISTENS TO THE STAGE MANAGER AND THE PROPS WOULDN’T GO MISSING GODDAMMI-
a comic about different types of storytellers
in my first year doing high school theatre i tried to use a fog machine (cuz my dad owns one and i knew how to use it) but as soon as it entered the theatre it S T O P P E D W O R K I N G and so we had to cut it :(
Technician: Why are you so concerned about the haze machine?
Production Manager: Because on the last show, we had to… uh…
Lighting Designer: Wank off the haze machine live on stage mid-show to make it put out any fog.
Technician: Well that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say those words in that order.

Director: HOLD
Actor: no I'm okay that was just my commitment to the bit

oh the show that my high school theatre company closed 2 months ago had over 200 props if we're counting set dressing (it was a teenager's bedroom so it was MESSY)
[The show contains three props]
Production Manager: what do you think about the props?
Stage Tech: felt over indulged. A little much.
As a past Assistant Stage Manager and now full-on Stage Manager for my high school theatre company, here's some things to know: (some of them aren't really ASM but these will be important once you're a full-on SM!)
The actors may think they are better than you. Do with that what you will.
As early as you can, type up (or find an already-typed document) of the script, so you can add all the cues and notes straight on and not have to messily scribble cues on a piece of paper. I colour-code mine, but you can do whatever you want.
Remember, communication is key! Make sure to stay in touch with other departments.
Once you have your typed document (or 'masterscript' as I call it) share it with EVERYONE. The director, the actors, all the other Stage Crew people, and ESPECIALLY your other SM(s).
Stay in contact with your director, and if they have plans for the actors, make sure to let them know as soon as possible.
You will need to come up with a lot of plans on the fly, so know as much as you can! You don't want to be in the dark about anything.
Prepare to wear a lot of hats and do a lot of jobs. As my theatre department has 24 members (cast+crew) I have to do multiple jobs, such as: Scriptwriter, Head of Set, Head of Props, Head (and only member :/ ) of Costumes, and of course, Stage Manager. On top of all that, I am also the only run crew so yay!
Although, if your theatre department is big enough, you will also be responsible for delegating responsibility. Before every rehearsal, go through a shape of the day with your director, and make sure everyone knows what they're doing and when.
Also, drink a lot of water and make sure to keep your voice healthy! The cast for my show is very rowdy, and I've strained my voice on multiple occasions trying to yell over them to get them to quiet down :,)
Anyways, have fun! The only way you can truly make a show good is if you are passionate about it! Being a Stage Manager, and all the responsibilities that come from it are usually overlooked, but at the end, you're helping run an incredible show! Good luck!
Hi! more of a question i have about theatre stuff!!
I just got picked to be the assistant stage manager for my schools show (the addams family) !! im a sophomore in high school and this will be my 2nd year doing theatre at my school; and i hope to apply/get stage manager next year !!
any advice? thank youu !!
Hi!! That's so exciting! (In fair warning, I've not personally worked in stage management, I've only done a course on it, so I've outsourced a lot of this from @manicpixiemonster)
"Enjoy paperwork."
More seriously, the SM team is the centerpoint of information in a production so Be Organized. (Personally I'm a color-coder, but the Best method is whatever one works best for you.) People will be coming to you for questions so be prepared (even if it's about the thing that you really did send three emails and four text messages about already)
This doesn't mean that you have to know everything automatically. If there's something you're wondering about, ask. Especially since you're still in school and (I am assuming here) fairly new to this, take it as a learning opportunity and get involved and ask questions rather than trying to blend into the background.
Be focused because you're a model of behavior for the cast and crew. You want to be approachable but also an authority figure in the room. (This can be tricky, especially in HS since theater tends to be a very social experience)
Confidence is key! And remember you've got a whole team (and production) working with you to make this show successful.
stay hydrated :) also if you've got one, wear a watch.
Having a migraine during a tech rehearsal is legitimately the worst thing ever.
Backstage is busy and chaotic, then you go onstage and the lights are so blinding it feel like you're getting stabbed in the head with a dagger.

YO I GOT CAST AS THE ROLE I WANTED IN OUR ONE ACT LETS GOOOOO
I forgot to post this.
I work at a movie theater and there is an empty spiderman showing tonight. Completely empty. Nobody bought tickets.
I’m getting whiplash because we went from completely packed theaters to nothing. Wtf.
Reasons fanfics help me at theater:
(#1) I get so immersed in the character themself. Emotions, expressions, reasons behind their actions, etc. And feel them as if my own.
I made this revelation while reading angst of a character realizing they're in love with someone other than the person they're dating. Which is strange considering I've never dated. And yet still teared up during the crying scene.
The more you know~

Currently watching a movie in ice room ? (The really nice one with dolby 7.1 and lights on the sides, and very comfy sittings, and I don't know the equivalent anywhere else than in France)
We are 2 in the room. Like, yeah, ok, it's late on a Sunday, and in English, but still! Until like 5 minutes ago, I thought I would be the only one in the room.....
Yeaaaah.....
The worst story about that : I live in a country where it doesn't usually happen, so that's even worse. I brought ticket to go see Deadpool and wolverine with a (now ex) friend. They were on their phone so much. Like, I bought the tickets, but I didn't force them to go, I asked them several times if they wanted to go see the movie. The LEAST they could do was to NOT be on their phone. What's even worse with that is I have ADHD.... Like, strongly, and ok, when I'm watching a movie at home, I'm always on my phone, but not in the freaking movie theater? Like? It's dark for a reason? What's the reasoning? 'oh yeah I'm probably autistic so I need my phone on all the time' ? Seriously....
ppl are rlly trying to defend being on your phone during a movie in the theater what is going on
