advice
my friend lily really wants to be in theater, but she never wants to sing. and i'm like sing lily come on i'll tell you the truth if you are bad or not. well she finally did but she was embarrased to sing right infront of me so she made a video of her singing random lines. I don't think she's like horrible. What do you think? I really want to know so I can tell her if she should try getting singing lessons or something. Please don't say oh she's flat or she isn't hitting the note cause she never has had singing lessons. Thanks! Heres the link to the video (please watch the whole thing): http://youtube.com/watch?v=j_Myf-hEBzY
first off, she lacks any kind of confidence necessary to even make the chorus of any show. no amount of lessons can improve that. if she can't sing in front of a friend how is she going to audition for anything and stand out from hundreds of other kids? you can even tell it in her voice. secondly, her lack of confidence in her voice makes her waver until she finds the right notes. the end of nearly every phrase she sings ends with way too much vibratto. and it's soft. musical theater does not want soft voices with too much vibratto. I think she'd benefit from group-style lessons more than solo lessons because she will be forced into large interaction with other people with varying levels of confidence. also, these peers will be harsher on her than a teacher of solo lessons which she needs to get used to if she wants to get into musical theater.
Oh my lord!!! Someone hacked onto my account and asked a question in my column that said my friend was going to commit suicide because she was ugly!!! I did not write that and the question is not even true!!!! I don't even know who that girl is in the picture!!!! So shes not even my friend and I didn't write that question!!!! Please don't believe that question!!!! My question is I want to find out who hacked my account and wrote that question, so how do I find out? My password is not easy to uncode so I don't know how they did it!! I'm scared because I don't want that person to stalk me. If any of you answered that question that talked about my friend being ugly, please leave hate mail to the answer of it. I repeat, I would never write a question like that.
lower left edge under miscellaneous. "report abuse." then read the FAQ.
Hey anybody who reads this. I just wanted everybody to know that the user "ShannonBond" is fake. I personally know Shannon Bond and this girl is NOT her! She's faking Shannon Bond and using her pictures, when really this girl IS NOT her. Please Advicenators, DELETE HER PROFILE! That should not be acceptable for people to have fake pictures of other people, and pretend to be them. THAT'S JUST WRONG!
Thanks Advicenators.
bottom left corner of your browser window. under miscellaneous there's a section saying "report abuse." click it and follow the directions.

At my local theater, the next play is going to be The Butler Did It.
I have tried searching everywhere on the Internet, using Google, Dogpile and Yahoo search engines to find something - anything - about this play. I want to audition, but I don't want to waste my time if there are no roles for my age. I'm fifteen, I'm a female.
If anyone knows anything about The Butler Did It, please share. It's very frustrating because I can't find anything at all about it.
Thanks.
I've seen The Butler Did It. It's one of the most hilarious plays I have ever seen. if I remember correctly it's a murder mystery in which everyone can be considered a Butler. It's extremely confusing to read, but very funny to see. I saw it done by a local college, but I can imagine that it could work out for all ages. You're better off figuring out the type of person the company hires rather than those needed in the show. The company I work with, for instance, does a lot of adult shows but only casts 8-25 year-olds. If it seems like all of the people cast are 60+ then it could be a waste of time to audition, but if they've got a wide variety of ages in a variety of shows you really should audition. Even if you don't get in they could consider you for something else later on.
My mom says I can't cook, but I want to prove her wrong by cooking a good meal. Can someone give me an easy meal to cook?(directions included)
on my 17th birthday I took up cooking because I took up vegetarianism and it was easiest to cook for myself. my favorite meals are spinach pizza (which rocks more than it sounds like), minnestrone soup, and potato latkes. my minnestrone soup is the first thing I ever cooked. I make it on the weekends every few weeks. it's my recipe. I'm including it.
1 box swason's organic vegetable broth
1 large can tomatoes (I like crushed)
1 small can each: garbanzo beans, pinto beans, your choice of white bean
various veggies (I use potatoes, zucchini, carrots, peas, and sometimes corn)
marjoram to taste (not essential, but it helps)
everything goes into a big pot and cooks until it's all tender. sometimes it helps to put the potatoes, carrots and zucchini in before all of the beans and other veggies because they cook slower. I like mine with less broth so I just let it cook on. some of the beans become mush and the tomatoes really cook down. the flavors are better this way, but the potatoes and carrots retain their solidity.
Ok well I'm getting 2 teeth pulled out tomorrow, because they grew in sideways. And it's not like a normal dentist visit, it's kinda a surgery. So they said I had to drink CLEAR LIQUIDS only the whole day. (Clear- not meaning see-through, but like no milk, kinda like a watery substance) All I can think of is Koolaid & Tea.... Can someone else help me think of something? (I need to know tonight, because I am getting the surgery done tomorrow at 6:00 AM)
gatorade, lemonade, basically anything-ade. different oral surgeons have different policies about what you can and cannot drink before getting surgery. when I had four teeth removed last december I could eat up to ten hours before. I had my surgery at 10 AM which wasn't a big deal for me. I don't like eating really early in the morning and I had late dinner so that I would sleep in. having dental surgery is not really a big deal. you'll bleed the next day for a while. probably sleep. your cheeks could become bruised/yellowed like mine were. but it's fine in a week.
Okay so I have a new laptop and I was wondering if there is anyway I can transfer(copy) all the songs on my ipod onto my laptop(I know Itunes doesnt allow this, so I wanted to know if there is any other possible way to get the songs off the Ipod)?
if you're transferring from a mac to another mac you can download senuti and use it. if you're going from PC to PC, search for programs like senuti using google. I've personally never had experience with any of them being a mac girl, but I'm sure they exist. (
) if you're going from one platform to another then you enable your iPod for disc use. the instructions for that are on the apple website.ok so i am designing my room in a theme and the theme is Paris France and i went to hobby lobby and they have alot of french themed stuff and its like perfect, and my room is gonna be based on these 3 colours, royal red, black, and cream coloured. i was thinking i would paint the eifell tower on the wall, but i need a design to do it or a stencil!!! is there any place i can get a BIG eifell tower stencil for my wall??? and are there places that carry parisian themed bedding or lamps!? please help! thanks!
see if you can rent a slide-projector or an overhead projector. then you can use a slide or transparency of the eifel tower to sketch the outline onto your wall. My church did their sunday school rooms this way.

right now I'm just out of my junior year in high school. freshmen year I was brand new in a new program where everyone else already knew each other. I walked in the school with one friend, but no classes with her. gradually I got to know her other friends and I had classes with them (almost all of mine last year). they happened to be almost exclusively seniors last year. they've now gone off to college. I'm still in high school. again, I'm entering with nothing but acquaintances. this summer I was in a show with some school kids so I made an extra effort to get to know them and now I have three more good friends from my school to fall back onto this year from the show and one more just because he hung out with one of them a lot when I was around. it's really not that bad to make new friends. it's even refreshing. I can't say that I have an exact method of making friends, but here is what I did do. I located who I thought were the most friendly, cool people in the room. I completely ignored them. it's hard to make it into an established clique. instead I focused on the loners because I knew I was one myself. I would sit by a different person every day until I found one who would talk to me. then I got to know him better. and I found common ground with another new friend because she's a vegan and I'm transitioning into veganism. the third friend just came up to me often after I made friends with the first one and just started talking.
ok so i want to buy a laptop at the end of this year...
does anyone know what is the best laptop out there? or that is coming out soon??
i just want to use it for games and chatting and music....stuff like that and i want lots of memory, seems like i never have enough memory!
thanks!
as always, I suggest an apple computer. if you buy a newer one you can dual-boot OSX and Windows and run your games. they don't crash. they don't get viruses.
Hey, is it ok to knit on a plane if your just a teenage girl who shows no threat? (this is on continental going from jamaica to america non-stop)
if you have a family member that also knits, see if you can borrow a set of denise interchangeable needles. the actual needles are very short and plastic. almost all airlines have accepted them.
for pirates of the carribean, keira knightley said they had to paint on cleavage cuz her boobs were so small. well, im not really 'busty' or anything, so does anybody know HOW to painton cleavage??
to do it well close-up you need an airbrush kit and a score of other tools. if you just want to look good from far away consider buying a really bronze blush and an eyebrow pencil and using them, but it's not really effective. there's a huge difference in what looks good on stage or on film and what looks good in the mirror at home.
I have long hair and am trying to get it curly. The only problem is only about the bottom half of my hair will curl, because it is weighing the top down. I cannot get layers, because i am doing the locks of love thing...but are there any products or something i can use to help this?
you can actually donate completed wigs to locks of love in lieu of snippets of hair. if you went through a professional wig-maker locally you could have your wig made out of layered hair and then donated.
okay, i'm 14/f and there's someone that i like, but he's 2 years younger than me. is it okay to like or date someone 2 years younger? it seems kind of weird, but it's not that big of a difference and in fact i think my parents are 2 years apart. thanks

I need some advice. What would be a good Fashion School to go to in California? Also, I was wondering what I should study in. I love learning about the new trends. i like to study what and not to wear. Fixing Up Outfits that need finishing touches on them before they hit the runway.Although, I don't enjoy sewing. Thanks for the help!
face the facts. you need to like sewing. you need to be passionate about it. it needs to become your life. if you can't handle that then go into marketing, not fashion. if you market fashion you choose what is made and not made. there may or may not be sewing. you could also become a make-up consultant and work at fashion shows if you want to be closer to the runway.
as for things you need to know for fashion school: you need to sew very well. both hand and machine. you might also need to know how to use a serger depending on the program. you'll need extensive 3 dimensional art training and a good base of knowledge. fashion is not easy cutting and draping onto a model. get experience now and see how you like it.
my whole jaw on the right side, like hurts to open my mouth. so i havent eaten for the past 3 days. & my ear like hurts really bad, to where i cant lay on it. & like it hurts so much, it makes me cry. & i dont usually cry, when im hurt. so yeah, it hurts really bad. so should i see a doctor? & does anyone know what that is? or have u ever had it?
see a doctor/dentist immediately. have x-rays taken. and eat something. blend your food together if you have to or just eat soups or broth. you might also want to take light pain killers.
as for what it could be? well. I had a similiar problem a few years ago that turned out to be an impacted wisdom tooth that I didn't have removed until last winter. if it comes down to surgery or braces, definitely choose surgery. it's quick and nearly painless. you go in, fall asleep, wake up an hour or two later with your mouth packed in gauze and you go home. recovery is about a week or two. with braces you have to wear them for years and sometimes they don't work. it's likely something very simple that can be easily fixed.
is it true that drinking ALOT of milk could make your boobs get bigger? im 14 mine are really small and i know i still have lots of time for them to grow but im very thin with a high metabolism. so if i drank alot more milk would it add some size to them?
truth: as a culture, women have larger breasts than 50 years ago.
it's been theorized that "improvements" in the dairy industry have caused this change. the increased use of hormones in milk that are meant to cause the cow to create more milk without having children have crossed over to humans in the form of bigger breasts for the whole group of people. it's likely that your particular breasts are bigger than they would have been 50 years ago right now. drinking more milk, even whole milk, will not make them any bigger.
I believe I have OCD. I was reading online to look up some symptoms and I seem to meet them all. I am 14/ f and I was wondering how I should bring it up with my mom. I am going to the doctors on Monday for a physical so I can play sports so how should I ask my mom to bring it up?
at your physical, don't outright tell the doctor that you think you may have OCD. describe your symptoms honestly and tell him/her that you went online to try and figure out what it was and you think you might have OCD. if you don't want to, you don't have to bring it up with your mom. if you do plan on telling her first (and it seems like you do, props to that) just tell her that you get anxious when you do your compulsions and that you want to get help for it because you're afraid it could get worse. if she doesn't believe that you might have a problem, you always have your physical on monday to bring it up with a doctor.
Ok... I am in a bad way. I am constantly telling myself something is wrong with myself... I have a disease, or I have cancer, or something worse, and it spirals. I can never shake these thoughts, when I know in reality that I am simply a normal, happy, and healthy human being. But, because of these thoughts, it has been noted that I am slowly spiraling into depression, when I seem to already have a bi-polar disorder, and I have been told that those two do not make such a hot combination. I really wish I could stop these thoughts, and get my life back on track. I used to do all these activities... Almost every sport I could get my hands on, student council, energy club, drama camp... and I just suddenly dropped out of everything. I want my life back... Anyone have any ideas on how to stop these thoughts and maybe stear me back to my old life?

believing that you have diseases or illnesses that you may not have is hypochondria. it, like all other conditions, is somewhat treatable. you just need to talk to your parents and find a specialist for treatment. if they laugh or say that you're being ridiculous, overexaggerate the symptoms of everything you know you have until they realize that you have problems that you cannot solve on your own. I had problems as a kid that crop up every once in a while now and then. my big issue is OCD. I know that my parents wouldn't believe it if I told them that I had a relapse, so I'd likely exaggerate compulsions to get them to notice if I knew that I needed help. luckily I've only had small problems every now and then that are easily dealt with.
