you are so enough

i’ve made a quick post about general impressions. she’s not good. she’s not bad either, for someone who doesn’t the goddamn language. like, i wouldn’t be able to do that shit in say, german. some moments are better than others, probably the ones she worked on more ( again, there’s about a month before they open, which gives her some more time ), she works better in ensemble settings, or when there’s someone else singing around, like, you can hear her and distinguish her, and i’d say that’s because she gets a direct example of the right pronunciation. mascarade in general sounds better than say, knoblauch when tanz started ( taking this example ), which honestly sounded like gibberish during the first month of the run. as for all i ask of you, she’s got some trouble on the solo parts. some bits, i’m gonna are because of the shit translation not working in an operatic setting ( sigh s . ), some are because, again, she doesn’t know the language. 

honestly - she’s got her good moments. and some not so good. but she’ll get better. like that’s damn easy to hear she’s worked hard, and being litterally drowned in the language and the show will only get her to get better as time goes. i can’t wait to hear her actually in the full show to give better impressions, and then see her improve as time goes on. but as i’ve said, the international members of the cast in tanz weren’t that good at this stage with their pronunciation ( and… even some french cast members, if i gotta be honest ). so i can’t say i’m impressed either, because you can hear she’s not french, but i’m not disappointed, this was what i was expecting at this stage ( and maybe, a teeny bit better than this. ). again, she’s just started learning french!
