@andersoncoralee: sorry this has been my beef since modern shows have become a who can belt higher contest #musicaltheatre #theatrekid #musical #theatre #theatretiktok #backstage #belting #storytelling #acting #actress

🇵🇸Mika🐣🧭🇵🇸 :

Yes because sure Lin Manuel Miranda isn’t the greatest singer of all time but he can damn well act😭🙏

🦇claire🦇 :

also when we talk abt "theatre" and "theatre kids," can we not JUST talk abt musicals ?! STRAIGHT PLAYS EXIST

ఌ 𝐒αяα¹⁰⁰⁹ :

How I feel being a theatre kid but can’t sing

Isabella D. :

the wind is speaking facts today

Whatthescallop :

I took a singing class years ago and my teacher genuinely said “I saw Hamilton on tour and the Eliza sounded gorgeous in burn, but she didn’t seem sad at all”

Prince B :

AND THIS IS WHY CYNTHIA IS AMAZING. She can belt AND pull her entire heart out when singing.

Jackson :

Acting is low key a lost art these days. It shouldn’t matter how high or operatic you sound tbh

aj🌃 :

and don’t even get me STARTEDDDDD on people completely ignoring dance. i’m not buying into it any longer GET MOVING.

juba☕️🩶 :

YESS, singing is an important part of musical theatre, but I'd rather watch actors who can't sing than watch singers who can't act. Lin as Ham is proof that acting overcomes singing

Bailey 🦕🫧💐☕️ :

No like people give me weird looks when I say I care most about the acting. THATS??? THE POINT???

abby ™ :

say it louder for the ppl in the back☺️

Sadee :3 :

Literally! I cant hear emotions anymore!! Where's the sadness? THE ANGER? GIVE US SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE NOTE?!

catherine🙈 :

literally coming from a belter mixing is harder to learn then belting. i learned how to belt my first vocal lesson. STILL working on mixing like what

acting > singing

somewhere_in_space :

I think thats the reason Andrew Garfield is so good on TTB, sure he has a Nice voice, but he's acting elevates it so hard

Sardynka :

YES like I hate when some people only focus on Heather Chandler's ONE riff line instead of how the actor acts through the whole show

August :

Me when an actor can’t properly hit a note but that actually makes the song better because realistically their character should not be singing in perfect pitch

percy 🦄 :

I would rather see someone have their voice crack because they are acting truly upset and connecting to the music than have some person sing really well and not act well

dakotawrites2 :

Audra McDonald gave a masterclass in just that. Actors need to start CONNECTING.

duke :

You can miss a few notes if your actually making me feel something and telling me a story, I genuinely prefer someone being a big pitchy but actually acting

felisa 🐀 :

this is very relevant, especially in cabaret. in the title song Sally isn't showing off how good she can sing, she's showing how her emotions are basically falling apart 💔💔💔

★ Freddie ★ :

Honestly, I don’t give a shit if someone isn’t the best singer. If their acting carries it, the vocals don’t matter to me. Because it’s the acting that matters the most.
