School Choir

Post Reply New Topic

Is anyone else involved musically at their high school/college/university?

I'm the Publicity person for my university choir, which is a funny position for someone on the spectrum, but mostly I'm involved in designing the posters for our concert and maintaining the website/facebook/twitter. I don't actually have to do social interaction as part of the job. Though I do feel more like I should participate in the social events since I'm on the executive.

I am also auditioning to be in the university Show Choir, which is just starting up this year. I have a callback tonight.

I have sound sensitivity issues sometimes, but am not usually bothered when I'm singing.

I'm in my school's theatre group, and we're going to incorporate many musical elements into our repertoire-
we're working on an original play where I get to play an aging former theatre actress at a Thanksgiving dinner who becomes more musical the more alcohol she gets in her. There are all sorts of other brilliant characters, too. I'm pumped.

Another actor on the spectrum!

That play sounds cool. I auditioned for my university plays this year, but alas, I currently appear to be about 16 years old due to hormone therapy for being transgender. I didn't get a part.

Do you find your autism affects your acting at all? I have a problem with gestures and body language, so when I try to act, I sometimes seem rigid and stiff.

I'm pretty animated, to the point of being made fun of when I get excited.
