I think we’ve all been in the position where we second-guess ourselves about whether or not we deserve something. Let me tell you as a musical theatre geek who really can’s sing I’ve gotten part after part in high school and community shows while my female friends with actual great singing voices get practically nothing. The gender balance and community theater is way off so i got part after part while my friends maybe got one big role every three years if they’re lucky. Iv’e had at least a named role in every show I’ve ever been in. Some girls I’ve met have never had a named role and i hear how good thier voices are and I just want to say sorry. I want to give them my part somehow because I know they’d sing it better.
