Is someone training to be the next Carla?
Of course you count too, hypertruffle. I still can't get over how someone could sing, let alone sing a high note, in such an uncomfortable position.

Twas incredibly hard too. It took weeks of procrasination from homework. I've only done it fully once, and I nearly broke my limbs. >< Twas awesome though.

Think of me as the next Carla, except shorter, latina, quirkier, and less flexible.

It's not that bad if A) you have the range and B) you have technique. It's only a C. It's not like singing Glitter and BE Gay upside down.

Good, hypertruffle, because now I'm so into this show I have been driving my friends in the theater business crazy so they let me direct a small production of Nine or at least do a stage reading of the show and take it from there. If they let me go through with the idea I'm gonna be Guido of course but we're gonna need a Carla since unfortunately I can't hit a C singing upside down, and I'm latino too so we should just do a Latino version of the show, how about that?
Jazzysuite, I can imagine if you are a trained actor like Mrs.Krakowski or Mrs.Morris are/were, then it's probably not the biggest challenge, but as an actor/director myself I'm always amazed to see other actors doing something that not everyone can do, in my opinion. Especially as a director it's easier to see other people's limits since when you're acting you're mostly only worried about your own limited skills as an actor...OK, little thread-jack but since I started it I'm allowed.

Jazzysuite- Very true. I think it may have to do with being on-key and having a pleasant tone.

FBD (If you won't mind me calling you that)- Hon, I ain't an actor. I'm a 16-year-old aspiring musician who just has way too much time on her hands. Sorry to dissapoint. =P

Hahaha, you sure made me smile, hypertruffle, so I guess I stand rejected.
At least it is nice to see a 16 year old that spends some time trying to do a Carla move instead of spending all her time Defying Gravity, I'm sooo glad to hear that.
