The Most Embarassing Thing You've Ever Had To Do Onstage? — Page 3

Okay, this wasn't onstage, but it's performing nonetheless, so bear with me.

I'm a voiceover actress, and a couple weeks ago I was doing some work with a friend at a Turkish TV studio - the shows are Turkish, we're providing the English dubbing. Anyway, my character and some friends went out to a bar and were singing a sort of Turkish drinking song - which wasn't translated. So now, not only did I have to sing (and when someone tells you to intentionally sing badly [because the characters were drunk], you just can't sing at ALL, I've found) but I had to sing in Turkish. I don't speak ANY Turkish, so someone had to come in the recording booth and teach me the song phoneticallly. So now my voice has been captured on tape (digital recording... whatever) singing unfamiliar words to an unfamiliar melody, OFF-KEY. I just know that's going to come back to haunt me someday. Hee.

Drop mah pants.

I was Hines in "The Pajama Game".

Also, I recently played Hans in "Cabaret", which we did in a black box theater. Befor ehte show began, we ushered the audience to their seats and had to interact with them in slutty ways until the show actually started. When my parents were there...yeah...that was a little embarassing.

The White Queen...how about you?

I had a big show in the afternoon and I forgot about it and I drank so much soda before the show and i never do that, so I remembered I had the show and it was my song and I had to hit a huge note at the end, instead of hitting the note a huge burp came out! I was so embaressed! Then I walk off stage and my director says jokingly to me "you were sopost to bleh it Missy not burp it!" hahaha

My high school did "Les Miz" and as there were thousands of girls there with better singing voices than me and not nearly enough boys, I was cast as Enjolras (p.s. I'm a girl). That was pretty embarrasing. There was a funny moment that made up for it - our HS double-casts its shows, and the other Enjolras was a freshman guy. On one of the nights he performed, my parents were sitting in front of a couple who knew that one of the Enjys was played by a girl, and by "Do You Hear the People Sing?", they had decided it was him.

My HS also wore our costumes to school during performance weekend, and I wore my prostitute costume...pretty embarassing until my friends had gotten to school and I wasn't the only one in a low-cut top and twelve layers of eyeshadow.

One more...this was in rehearsal, but I was attempting to be sexy as Olive in "Odd Couple Female Version" while laying on a countertop...and I fell off the counter. Oops.

person who orgasmed w/ snickers...was this for "Vagina Monologues"?

Had to endure being in Godspell with an entirely tone deaf lead cast.. even the playing Jesus made me want to convert!!!! Don't get started on the fact I choreographed and it turned out to be a special dance moment...It was not pretty at all!!!

God save the people!

Dot: I'd love to be a girl Enjolras, but he's waaaaay too low for me to sing. So it may have been a tad on the mortifying side, but on the other hand, it's kinda cool.

I'm so glad I'm not an actor.
