Power Supply: See how much power supply is available at the venue. You will need a chunk of it to power your sound system (PA). Make provision for additional power supply or avoid using heavy equipment for stage lighting, in case you think it might cause an overload.

Stage Area: Check out the size of the stage on which you will be performing.
•Divide the stage into a number of ‘areas’, depending on the total stage area.
•Choose the areas or parts in an area which you want to highlight.
•Use a thick black curtain as the backdrop as far as possible. This will not reflect any light and absorb the extra light from unwanted sources.
Basic Stage Lights: Start with minimum or basic lights you will require for your performance.
•The number of light fixtures for a stage depends on the size and number of areas you divide your stage into.
•Light each stage area using two fresnel or PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) light fixtures. Most musicians prefer to use PAR cans as they are less expensive.
•Fresnels come in 500 to 1500 watts with varying diameters of 3″, 6″, 8″ and 10″. PAR cans are available in different shapes and sizes but the best option for small bands would be PAR 54 or PAR 60, depending on the power available. You could choose between PAR cans with clear lens (give narrowed light beam) or patterned lens (gives wider light beam).
•Set the lights in front of the stage at an angle of 45 degrees with the center of the stage. The two lamps should be at an angle of 90 degrees with each other.
Rigging Equipment: Riggers are used to increase stage lighting possibilities, especially if there are not enough places to hang the lighting fixtures.
•You could make use of portable stands, stage lighting spigots and tripod base stands (t-bars) to rig two or more fresnels or PAR cans in one place.
•Lighting fixtures on these stands should be kept at angles which will illuminate or dazzle. Wrongly placed stage fixtures make the performers look shadowy or ghostly.
•Stage Truss, Push Up Stands, Wind Up Stands and Winch Up Stands are other possible components of a rigging kit.
•You will need to use stage hook clamps, scaffold clamps and wing bolt to clamp the stage riggers and attach lighting fixtures for the stage.
Light Effects: There are varieties of equipment used for effects, but you will get plain white lighting by using only PARs or Fresnels. Choose effects and colors according to the mood you want to create. Some options of equipment for stage lighting effects are given below. Read the rest of this entry »

For an actor, their physical appearance is extremely important. And it is not without reason. In a world obsessed with looking good, actors have a great deal of pressure put on them to look a certain way. It is not surprising then that aspiring actors often spend a great deal of time preening themselves before an audition. There are several factors that will determine how you should dress up for an audition. Given below are answers to some of the most common questions that aspiring actors ask when they need to attend an audition. Use these answers to learn how to groom yourself for an acting audition.

Should the Role I am Auditioning for Influence my Clothing?
It is important that the clothes you wear for your audition reflect the character you are auditioning for. But that does not mean that you arrive for the audition in full costume. If you are aiming to land the role of a doctor, it does not mean that you wear doctor’s scrubs for the audition. Instead be comfortably dressed in clothes that seem like what a doctor would wear outside the hospital or even something that mimics a doctor’s uniform.

Should the Age of the Character I am Auditioning for Make a Difference?
One of the most common mistakes that an aspiring actor makes while going for an audition is not dressing up age-appropriately. Many actors tend to dress up much younger than their actual age and this can often seem like they are trying too hard. It is not a pleasant tag to carry around and definitely not one that is easy to shirk off. It is important that you dress in a manner that is pleasant for your age. Another tip to keep in mind if you are dressing up according to the role is to take into consideration the age of the character. If you are a forty year old auditioning for the part of an eighty year old, then a little help in the cosmetics department may go a long way during your auditions.

Should I Take the Casting Director’s Specifications for the Role into Consideration?
This is a question that obviously demands a resounding yes. If the audition details specify that you dress up in a certain manner, then it is only expected for you to do the same. You should also take into consideration, whether it is a screen test or a face-to-face test. The colors and patterns that you wear to the audition will be determined by these factors. Of course, if there are no details given, then choose to dress in a subtle, neat and understated manner. Avoid gaudy colors at all costs and keep accessories to a minimum.

Whenever there is a blackout in my block, I usually get very bored, there is nothing to do and you have to just sit in the dark with candle light and wait for the lights to appear. I have always believed that we can have as much fun in dark as we have in the light. Just use your creativity and common sense and you can use this blackout to be a fun dark night. Mentioned below are some scary games to play in the dark. Play these games with people who have a strong heart and not with those who are so scared of the dark that they start crying and screaming, every time there is a black out.

The Ouija Board: This game is a classic. It has been there since ages and still is one of the most popular scary games to play in the dark. Always a great choice to play in a blackout. Playing this game is very simple, you begin by just asking a question and wait to see what answer does the scary oracle give. You and the other player sit around the board. Both of you place your fingers gently on the message indicator and one of you asks a question loudly. All the players who are laying have to concentrate very hard on the question. Close your eyes while concentrating, it makes it more spooky. Wait for the indicator to move. The indicator stops and your answer is revealed through its message window.

Simpsons Tree House of Horror Monopoly: It is one of the best scary games for kids. It’s a popular game with a slightly scary theme. To play this game, players purchase scary themed properties from the Simpsons scary tree house. It’s your good old-fashioned monopoly game with a Simpsons background. A plus point for this game is it takes some time to play, so it’s a great way to pass time.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board: This scary game gives me the creeps. It starts with players laying their hands slightly under the volunteer who is lying on the floor. All the players gather around the volunteer and a story-teller tells a scary tale about the volunteer’s life and his/her unfortunate and scary death. Once the story is complete, the participants surround the volunteer’s body and chant loudly “Light as a feather, stiff as a board” and lift the volunteer’s body off the ground. The gist of the game is that the volunteer has to feel that haunting spirits are assisting in the lifting. This is one of the best scary games to play in the dark with friends.

Bloody Mary: No people, this is not your famous cocktail. It’s actually a scary game which shouldn’t be played if you are not comfortable with ghostly spirits and haunting stories. This game has always been a favorite among teenage girls. Read the rest of this entry »
