Oh, not me unfollowing someone for griping about older actresses singing roles that shouldn’t ever be sung by college students because people that age aren’t vocally mature enough to healthily handle them.

#except. totally me. obviously #I don't know how to explain to y'all that some lead roles are HARD and have infamous reputations as VOICE WRECKERS because people #either try to full-chest belt everything or are too young to play those roles #they are not INHERENTLY voice-wrecking roles but if you cast people without proper vocal training and maturity then...yeah. they are.#YOUR VOICE. DOES NOT. FULLY SETTLE IN. UNTIL YOU ARE AROUND THIRTY. I DON'T CARE IF A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD LOOKS TO '''''OLD''''' TO PLAY #A COLLEGE STUDENT. YOU NEED SOMEONE THAT AGE. TO PLAY MANY MUSICAL THEATRE LEADS. SORRY NOT SORRY THAT'S JUST HOW THIS WORKS.#ALSO THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE. LOOK A LOT YOUNGER THAN THEY ARE. SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE ZERO OPTIONS #SORRY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NON-NEGOTIABLE IF YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE IN THEIR LATE TEENS/EARLY TWENTIES SHOULD BE PLAYING EL/PHABA OR #EV/AN HAN/SEN THEN LITERALLY NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN #I ALMOST LOST MY VOICE ONCE AND IT ALMOST /DESTROYED/ ME I'M NOT LETTING Y'ALL SPREAD RHETORIC THAT COULD LEAD TO IT HAPPENING #TO SOMEONE ELSE FOR REAL #LEARN HOW THE SINGING VOICE WORKS BEFORE YOU MAKE IGNORANT FUCKING POSTS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
