Can we please stop saying what roles are and are NOT demanding!! =)

You will never know what role is demanding or not unless YOU have done it 8 shows a week! A role that is easy and not demanding for ME to sing might be very difficult for SOMEONE else...everyone has their own unique set of pipes! riieeeght??! Its NOT just the singing that can cause vocal fatigue..a role that requires a lot of energy, yelling, speaking...whatever..is just as demanding as singing is on your voice 8 shows a week! Actors also have a life outside of the show and there could be other circumstances in life affecting their voices. IE, allergies, running around with their kids all day, publicity responsibilties, not getting enough rest..you name it. THOSE things can make a role MORE demanding that YOU think it should be.
Anyway..I have been reading and posting on this site for months now and I am sure that so many will disagree with me. And thats ok. I just had to speak my peace cause my stomach turns whenever I read a post saying "that role isn't that demanding".

All of you are so hurtful. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

btw, I love to re-inact beauty and the beast in my bathroom with my belle and beast dolls. the sound quality of my bathroom makess my singing sound way better! sometimes she leaves him and cries and becomes a junkie and sometimes she accepts the fact that he's a beater and stays anyway. I usually exclude mrs. pots and chip because I feel that they are free-loaders! I usually use my cat as loominare the candleguy, but my cat plays him slightly latino! imaginations rock! by the way my cat and I are having a great summer and I didn't get a perm! love, carla!

Well said, andrea. Thank you. I'm sick of those discussions as well. Everyone has different abilities and different extenuating circumstances.
