“This may sound crazy but just perform for yourself just because you want to sing!” Well considering that I perform the entirety of Hadestown in my bedroom every single day...
Katherine Steele I've started making costumes for my dream roles to pass the time. I'm currently repurposing an old Jean jacket to make a Janis costume
30 seconds in and I’m literally crying, idk why this is making me so sad. I literally just started at a performing arts school! I was fine in the beginning of quarantine! Why am I crying!
Since we couldn't do any drama camps or community theater, my friends and I are putting on an unauthorized (obviously) production of Beetlejuice. I'm writing out the script (based off of a b**tleg!) and also playing Lydia! We are so excited to do this. It's a little hard right now since we only have 7 people and we have to do it virtually but we are confident it will turn out really good!
@@crawley.crowley4630 We are deciding whether to post it or not. It would most likely be really cringey so we are leaning more towards not. Plus, because of school and Covid, it might not get done until April. That's our guess anyway. But if we do, I swear I will come back to this comment and link it.
QOTD: I’m doing pretty good! School has just started and I am so happy to see my friends again! I also have my first ever MT audition next week for my school!
aotd- i'm... okay? i live in australia and right now my government's been very precautions which i am so so grateful for. i've discovered legally blonde! and omg! i am in love! i've started going for bike rides with my mum which has been really lovely. this video arrived when i needed it most. thanks kat
Honestly, reconnecting with my inner Aaron Tveit hardcore fangirl is the main thing that’s kept me sane during quarantine! I never thought I’d wait for a hallmark movie, but here we are now hahahah
i told my mom i was in a cult yesterday and she was like "ok cool" i then told her it was no regular cult, it was a musical theatre internet cult. "are you ok?" *sigh* they just dont understand
Ive always liked musicals but this quarentine is what helped me fall in love with them since i now have the time to watch as many musicals as i want. Well not anymore, school starts on Monday and I'm busy catching up with work :( ive just been listening to new ones while working (if its one i know i end up singing along and performing the whole musical lol)
Me too! I’ve been able to listen to new musicals while I sew, workout, do chores etc. and it’s really fun! I’ve really got into Next to Normal this quarantine it might be my new favorite!
personally I was really stressed because of how much work i got for online school and everything piling ip around me. I had my panic attacks come back and i started pulling my hair out again. It got pretty bad but i’m definitely returning to a healthier state. your videos always brought me a smile through it
QOTD: It's so nice to hear you're doing better, I'm doing better too! I started taking more care of myself, working out, I even got the chance to do a recording of some songs from Rent in a Theater with cameras and sound equimpent (I played Mark. It was amazing) and I've been singing a lot and writing some music. It took me a good five months but I think I'm finally siezing my time :)
How have I been?: I’ve been extremely stressed about starting school and coming out as trans at school this year, but your videos are making everything so much better, your videos about auditions helped me get into the advanced theater class at my school! So thank you so much! How are you?
Im actually doing ok. Im still a teeny bit sad cuz i was supposed to see my first bway musical in march. I was supposed to see beetlejuice the musical in march then corona happened and we rescheduled for may and then corona just got worse and now I CANT FREAKIN SEE BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL!!! My mom was the best and did a beetlejuice themed birthday week for me and i got a bunch of beej the musical merch and i felt better but i STILL WANTED TO SEE IT REALLY BADLY!!! Anyway ive mostly gotten over it but theres still a small part of me thats still sad. Kathrine Steele has helped me get over it. Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk. Ps. I havent listened to beetlejuice the musical in a while but i want to i may go do that. OK OK ILL SHUT UP NOW!!!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I've been dealing with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for years, and it's definitely gotten bad again. One of my meds stopped working two years back, and I finally had been in a good place anxiety-wise... and then COVID.

My psychiatrist has been helping a lot, including telling me to be sure to take time for self care. 💕💕💕

A tv show I have recently become into is Extreme Cake Makers on Netflix. Seeing these bakers painstakingly create pieces of art. One lady had to create a Faberge egg with a life like bust of the person who the cake was for inside it was incredible. These are artists and seeing their dedication, skill and passion for their work inspires my own creativity. Thankfully here in the UK slowly but surely the cinemas and theatres are reopening its now about safety precautions. So I can get back to that but thank God for the National Theatre, Young Vic and so on airing their productions during the summer. It’s been wonderful to have that. I also have started learning a lamguage
We are getting a Hallmark movie with Aaron Tveit and Laura Osnes, so I'm hoping that (and maybe even a Tony nom for Aaron) will fill the Tveit sized hole in our hearts.
HAhAA icant even ok i just looked this up cause i couldnt believe it but one of the articals about it mention Aaron teveit was in gossip girl and lemme just tell u i screamed
Performing for myself was honestly how I learned to act, and that i wanted to act. It was such a clear trajectory from studying the intonation and facial expressions of characters I loved, to performing whole scenes (I can seriously do the final scene of The Twilight Zones "It's a Good Life" offbook), to regional theatre to drama school and a whole career. Totally therapeutic and legit.
Hi Kat! The "dating" metaphor is super spot on. By the way, can you cover if you think Six on Broadway should use British accents? The actresses are getting a lot of hate for using their accents. Another one that I do is getting into costume for a character/dream role, it's fun to work on. I'm currently making a Janis jacket.
I’ve listened to so many new musicals over quarantine, I’ve listened to Frozen, Hair, Alice by heart, Phantom of the opera, A chorus line, Bare, Legally Blonde, Book of Mormon, Come from away, Finding neverland, Sweeney Todd, Falsettos, The Last Five Years, Wicked, Spring Awakening, and most likely more (these weren’t in order, the last one I’ve listened to was Wicked!)
2020 has been terrible for me. I have incredibly low self esteem and sometimes even suicidal thoughts. I've even had numerous panic attacks and have gone to bed in tears. Your videos change that. I watch your videos and I feel better about myself. I've been following you for about a year and I've really enjoyed it. Recently, I've been doing much better. I'm focusing on some positives such as I played DND for the first time and It was really fun. Your videos actually help me to be more positive. Sooooooooo...........................yeah
I personally beat this by auditioning for roles around the house such as “son” in the production of “My family” and my favorite role: “couch potato” in the production of “Netflix for days on end.”
I'm becoming so desperate to act that any time a juicy scene comes on in something I'm watching, I pause it and just act it. All of it. The whole damn sceene in my bedroom. It's kinda pathetic, but on the brightside I'm getting better at crying on cue. Glad to hear you're doing good! And I love your channel so much. It's one of the few things keeping me alive since theatre has shut down lol
hi kat! ive had a really hard year. i started year 7 (the start of high school in australia), and then we went online. i had really bad depression and anxiety to the point where i didnt go to school for weeks on end. honestly, the only things that kept me going were theatre, my friends, and you. whenever you uploaded it made me so happy because i could watch someone who i loved. theatre is my outlet, and im glad that you make content about it. it makes me so happy. anyway, keep doing what you do! xx
+KatherineESteele Time 6:10 *Speaking of audiodramas, I find myself constantly rehearsing the audio of dream theatricals for film!* I hold that Warner Brothers Incorporated miscast its take on Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., _The Spirit of St. Louis_ (New York, NY, USA: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1954). And two Barrett Tillman books, _Warriors: The Ultimate Novel of Air Combat_ (New York, NY, USA: Bantam Books, 1990) and _The Sixth Battle_ (New York, NY, USA: Bantam Books, 1992), have yet to be picked up by a filmmaker.
QOTD: I'm not doing well. My path in theatre was just starting out before quarantine, and so I feel angry and sad that's been taken away. But then I feel awful for even being upset when people are LITERALLY dying.. I don't even want to go to church- the biggest part of my life besides theatre or work. I don't see the point. I'm prepping some stuff for auditions for virtual shows now, but I'm just going through the motions...This feels never ending, and I'm numb to everything now. It feels like a bad dream....
Ive actually been pretty ok. I just got my drivers permit (which really stressed me out) but I did it!! And Ive been involved with lots of digital productions! Thank you Kat for being the best theatre friend to all of us and being so uplifting during this time. ❤❤❤❤
I’m glad I’m not the only one performing alone in my bedroom. I literally sang the entire show of six the musical in my bedroom. No breaks, no one in the room, just me. I wonder what my parents thought.
I went to the first (socially distanced) indoor musical to reopen in London post-lockdown last weekend so I got my live theatre fix. I hope everyone else gets there's ASAP...
Can you please do a video on everything a new theatre kid needs to know? (Musicals, terminology, superstitions, etc.) It would help me a lot bc I started theatre later than most people and I feel behind on things I need to know
My saving grace during quarantine was designing sets and costumes for shows I want to work on one day! A quick trip to hobby lobby and I had enough crafty supplies to build 5 scale models of my designs and it was so theraputic and genuinely fun! If anyone is interested in the design side of theatre would HIGHLY recommend
QOTD: I’ve been singing a lot whenever I’m in the car, even though I know it’s not the start place to sing I still enjoy it. I’ve been singing a lot of Mean Girls and Hamilton, and I’ve also been watching bootlegs because..I need..theatre..in..my..life..haha..
At the beginning of May my best friend and I started writing a play and it’s about friendship and first love and peer pressure and I’m getting a ton of directors and friends to read it and help us edit it. Also right now I’m looking into getting it workshopped possibly at a big local theatre in my city 🤩🤩
@@aquastartv1895 it was called “Can we be friends” which is ironic and sad to say now we aren’t friends anymore and the plays production never went far
@@aquastartv1895 I was able to do a zoom read through with a bunch of friends and started to propose the play to a company but it didn’t get that far sadly
It took a while to hit me, but I haven't been doing my best. I was super sick this summer, and my mental health isn't great when I'm not doing anything; I also haven't really been able to listen to musicals. I've listened to a few lately, but still can't handle a lot. My little community theatre had to cancel two shows in production, one during tech week. The plan was to do Fun Home in June, but that obviously didn't happen. So on the night we should've opened, I curled up and listened to the cast recording, and cried, and imagined all it should've been, deserved to be. And it was so meaningful. A few things are starting to open up here, and all I want is to be in my theatre, but that's still not safe. There's a line that keeps popping into my mind these past few months; from Fun Home (who'da thunk): "Maybe not right now, maybe not right now." along with it's accompanying "I want, I want, I want, ah-ah-aaah." It nearly always makes me cry, and it sums up my feelings right now so succinctly, and so poignantly. Maybe not right now. / I want, I want, I want.
I’m sorry that you are having a tough time ❤️ my show was also cancelled and it’s really emotionally taxing. My high-school was supposed to perform Anything Goes in March 13th but before the final dress we found out it was cancelled. We were able to perform it that night for our parents but I was really upset because I wanted to show the school how good we were. It was one of the first times I was confident in our show and felt so proud. Our entire cast learned how to tap dance and during the tap break in the title song the whole audience starting cheering which was the best feeling. I was sad that we couldn’t wow the whole school community with something that we had worked so hard on for months. So I definitely relate to listening to the cast album, there are multiple occasions that I just cried about it or watched the video of the full dress run through and cried. I’m doing better now so I hope you can feel better soon ❤️
Kath you are so amazing! Your videos are always like a big warm hug, thank you for being so genuinely positive and lovely for us on the internet, I'm so glad that you're starting to feel better! ❤❤❤❤
Musicals has been what have keep me sane during quarantine. (literally, my city it's back to quarantine for a few weeks. Sucks) I liked them before, but i wasn't really into them. Now I've been obsessed with them for 3 months. I listened to musicals I loved before, and i'm listening new ones! so it's been probably the best thing out of this shitty times. Nice to know you're doing better Kat!
Kat, I feel you. I had just auditioned for a show, if you were wondering the show is it is We Will Rock You (it’s at a small theatre near me), and we did about 4 rehearsals and BOOM COVID-19 hit, I miss going out on a Monday to my theatre and just seeing my dance teacher :(
I have SO enjoyed getting to take time for myself musically. Its so good to just work on your singing, just for yourself instead of for a job. The free time, (not that I'm not busy) has been incredible, to just freely sing and work on "literally anything I love", has not only been lovely emotionally, but has also improved me technically. I've learned, not being busy working on music you have to perform within a short amount of time, gives you more time to actually really improve just as an all round vocalist. Its been a great time for self discovery vocally for me.
my tech class has made me fall in love with theatre again and i feel so much better. nothing like reading an incredible play and designing a set to make techies feel better.
i’ve been designing shoes- casting it with my theatre friends, drawing costumes, doing choreo, dancing it out, blocking it, playing all the parts. it’s so fun :)))
Glad you’re doing better Kat! I’m actually amazed I did musical concert... with an in person live audience... IN LONDON!! It was just what I needed to keep me going through this tough time. Just to sing with other people in front of even more was so so special! And it was for charity.. so a good deed was done for myself and for others
QOTD. Ummmmm, honestly not so hot right now. I’m starting at a new school in a few weeks(all online), my older sister/roommate for my entire life is moving out, and we just found out that the community theater group I do stuff with isn’t able to stay open. And that’s just the outside stuff. Thanks for a reason to smile today.
i'm not an actual performer, but i still enjoy singing and acting in my free time. singing karaoke by myself and crying during the sad numbers? totally therapeutic !
What helped me was that I made a cover channel and not only did it help with my confidence I also have lots of fun recording it and I have something to do during quarantine. :)
So glad to hear you’re doing better! You are a light and a joy to all of us in this musical theater internet cult (even with the hard honest stuff). If I may be honest, I’ve been very fortunate during this COVID thing and haven’t had a difficult time. BUT...perimenopause has begun to take over my body and it may very well be the thing that takes me down.
I’m glad you’re doing better! I’ve been dealing with a lot, I had to say goodbye to my childhood dog this week which was hard. But focusing on musical theatre and performing is helping!
Kat you literally made this video in the best possible timing. Seriously on the verge of losing my mind and you have made me feel so much better thank you!!!!!!!
Something that I’ve been participating is a collaborative musical medley for all of the community theatres in my area. We get a song every week & film our vocal parts & a super talented music director edits them all together & makes a medley! It’s been so fun during quarantine
thanks for asking! im pretty decent but there are a few bumps in the road. school started again and gives me something to keep me busy! love you, mom. *glad you’re doing okay*
I'm glad your doing better! I've finally been listening to musicals, trying to find new ones to listen to and literally re-watching Newsies and Hamilton on Disney plus 100 times 😂

I'm focusing on some positives such as I played DND for the first time and It was really fun. Your videos actually help me to be more positive. Sooooooooo...........................yeah
I personally beat this by auditioning for roles around the house such as “son” in the production of “My family” and my favorite role: “couch potato” in the production of “Netflix for days on end.”
Ha ha ha. Don't usually comment, but yours was just too good to not. 😁
@@abigailjohnson4787 Thank you
I'm becoming so desperate to act that any time a juicy scene comes on in something I'm watching, I pause it and just act it. All of it. The whole damn sceene in my bedroom. It's kinda pathetic, but on the brightside I'm getting better at crying on cue. Glad to hear you're doing good! And I love your channel so much. It's one of the few things keeping me alive since theatre has shut down lol
hi kat! ive had a really hard year. i started year 7 (the start of high school in australia), and then we went online. i had really bad depression and anxiety to the point where i didnt go to school for weeks on end. honestly, the only things that kept me going were theatre, my friends, and you. whenever you uploaded it made me so happy because i could watch someone who i loved. theatre is my outlet, and im glad that you make content about it. it makes me so happy. anyway, keep doing what you do! xx
+KatherineESteele Time 6:10 *Speaking of audiodramas, I find myself constantly rehearsing the audio of dream theatricals for film!* I hold that Warner Brothers Incorporated miscast its take on Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., _The Spirit of St. Louis_ (New York, NY, USA: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1954). And two Barrett Tillman books, _Warriors: The Ultimate Novel of Air Combat_ (New York, NY, USA: Bantam Books, 1990) and _The Sixth Battle_ (New York, NY, USA: Bantam Books, 1992), have yet to be picked up by a filmmaker.
QOTD: I'm not doing well. My path in theatre was just starting out before quarantine, and so I feel angry and sad that's been taken away. But then I feel awful for even being upset when people are LITERALLY dying.. I don't even want to go to church- the biggest part of my life besides theatre or work. I don't see the point. I'm prepping some stuff for auditions for virtual shows now, but I'm just going through the motions...This feels never ending, and I'm numb to everything now. It feels like a bad dream....
Last time I was this early broadway was still on
Kat idk of anything and fill that Aaron Tevat hole, but I’m so glad that you’re feeling better, and can enjoy the thing you love most! 💞
Ive actually been pretty ok. I just got my drivers permit (which really stressed me out) but I did it!! And Ive been involved with lots of digital productions! Thank you Kat for being the best theatre friend to all of us and being so uplifting during this time. ❤❤❤❤
I’m glad I’m not the only one performing alone in my bedroom. I literally sang the entire show of six the musical in my bedroom. No breaks, no one in the room, just me. I wonder what my parents thought.
I went to the first (socially distanced) indoor musical to reopen in London post-lockdown last weekend so I got my live theatre fix. I hope everyone else gets there's ASAP...
Month 6 rlly just hit me, wow. Im in college so life feels a little but more normal
*bit
Can you please do a video on everything a new theatre kid needs to know? (Musicals, terminology, superstitions, etc.) It would help me a lot bc I started theatre later than most people and I feel behind on things I need to know
My saving grace during quarantine was designing sets and costumes for shows I want to work on one day! A quick trip to hobby lobby and I had enough crafty supplies to build 5 scale models of my designs and it was so theraputic and genuinely fun! If anyone is interested in the design side of theatre would HIGHLY recommend
QOTD: I’ve been singing a lot whenever I’m in the car, even though I know it’s not the start place to sing I still enjoy it. I’ve been singing a lot of Mean Girls and Hamilton, and I’ve also been watching bootlegs because..I need..theatre..in..my..life..haha..
At the beginning of May my best friend and I started writing a play and it’s about friendship and first love and peer pressure and I’m getting a ton of directors and friends to read it and help us edit it. Also right now I’m looking into getting it workshopped possibly at a big local theatre in my city 🤩🤩
what's the name of it?
@@aquastartv1895 it was called “Can we be friends” which is ironic and sad to say now we aren’t friends anymore and the plays production never went far
@@randomseth4978 how did the workshopping for the play go?
@@aquastartv1895 I was able to do a zoom read through with a bunch of friends and started to propose the play to a company but it didn’t get that far sadly
I learned about a metaphor today. Thanks Kat ❤️
It took a while to hit me, but I haven't been doing my best. I was super sick this summer, and my mental health isn't great when I'm not doing anything; I also haven't really been able to listen to musicals. I've listened to a few lately, but still can't handle a lot. My little community theatre had to cancel two shows in production, one during tech week. The plan was to do Fun Home in June, but that obviously didn't happen. So on the night we should've opened, I curled up and listened to the cast recording, and cried, and imagined all it should've been, deserved to be. And it was so meaningful. A few things are starting to open up here, and all I want is to be in my theatre, but that's still not safe. There's a line that keeps popping into my mind these past few months; from Fun Home (who'da thunk): "Maybe not right now, maybe not right now." along with it's accompanying "I want, I want, I want, ah-ah-aaah." It nearly always makes me cry, and it sums up my feelings right now so succinctly, and so poignantly. Maybe not right now. / I want, I want, I want.
I’m sorry that you are having a tough time ❤️ my show was also cancelled and it’s really emotionally taxing. My high-school was supposed to perform Anything Goes in March 13th but before the final dress we found out it was cancelled. We were able to perform it that night for our parents but I was really upset because I wanted to show the school how good we were. It was one of the first times I was confident in our show and felt so proud. Our entire cast learned how to tap dance and during the tap break in the title song the whole audience starting cheering which was the best feeling. I was sad that we couldn’t wow the whole school community with something that we had worked so hard on for months. So I definitely relate to listening to the cast album, there are multiple occasions that I just cried about it or watched the video of the full dress run through and cried. I’m doing better now so I hope you can feel better soon ❤️
@@graceb789 Thank you! I'm not too bad right now, but it still sucks. Your production sounds awesome! I wish everyone could've seen.
Kath you are so amazing! Your videos are always like a big warm hug, thank you for being so genuinely positive and lovely for us on the internet, I'm so glad that you're starting to feel better! ❤❤❤❤
What else is there to do when there are no more auditions, wait for the cast list DUH
Musicals has been what have keep me sane during quarantine. (literally, my city it's back to quarantine for a few weeks. Sucks) I liked them before, but i wasn't really into them. Now I've been obsessed with them for 3 months. I listened to musicals I loved before, and i'm listening new ones! so it's been probably the best thing out of this shitty times.
Nice to know you're doing better Kat!
Love this. Singing in the shower is getting me THROUGH this lol
Kat, I feel you. I had just auditioned for a show, if you were wondering the show is it is We Will Rock You (it’s at a small theatre near me), and we did about 4 rehearsals and BOOM COVID-19 hit, I miss going out on a Monday to my theatre and just seeing my dance teacher :(
Kat, I am doing great and I’m happy you are doing great!
You've been filling my theatre sized hole! You've also given me the motivation and the guts to look into some schooling for theatre.
How can you fill all our Aaron Tviet sizes in our hearts the same second we start seeing
I have SO enjoyed getting to take time for myself musically. Its so good to just work on your singing, just for yourself instead of for a job. The free time, (not that I'm not busy) has been incredible, to just freely sing and work on "literally anything I love", has not only been lovely emotionally, but has also improved me technically. I've learned, not being busy working on music you have to perform within a short amount of time, gives you more time to actually really improve just as an all round vocalist. Its been a great time for self discovery vocally for me.
I love how open she is to all her audience. We love it. You're such a nice person Kat and you are so open and positive to us :)
my tech class has made me fall in love with theatre again and i feel so much better. nothing like reading an incredible play and designing a set to make techies feel better.
I can’t tell you how many cults I joined in quarantine
i’ve been designing shoes- casting it with my theatre friends, drawing costumes, doing choreo, dancing it out, blocking it, playing all the parts. it’s so fun :)))
kay you should try this!!!
Glad you’re doing better Kat! I’m actually amazed I did musical concert... with an in person live audience... IN LONDON!! It was just what I needed to keep me going through this tough time. Just to sing with other people in front of even more was so so special! And it was for charity.. so a good deed was done for myself and for others
im just waiting for my show to open again next year so I can FINALLY play the lead role 🥺
QOTD. Ummmmm, honestly not so hot right now. I’m starting at a new school in a few weeks(all online), my older sister/roommate for my entire life is moving out, and we just found out that the community theater group I do stuff with isn’t able to stay open. And that’s just the outside stuff. Thanks for a reason to smile today.
i'm not an actual performer, but i still enjoy singing and acting in my free time. singing karaoke by myself and crying during the sad numbers? totally therapeutic !
Man I’m so so so stressed over school and I’m just trying to get through. I’m so glad you’re doing better though! 💜
My library has the entire work of Shakespeare in one book I’m genuinely dying rn
What helped me was that I made a cover channel and not only did it help with my confidence I also have lots of fun recording it and I have something to do during quarantine. :)
So glad to hear you’re doing better! You are a light and a joy to all of us in this musical theater internet cult (even with the hard honest stuff). If I may be honest, I’ve been very fortunate during this COVID thing and haven’t had a difficult time. BUT...perimenopause has begun to take over my body and it may very well be the thing that takes me down.
I’m glad you’re doing better! I’ve been dealing with a lot, I had to say goodbye to my childhood dog this week which was hard. But focusing on musical theatre and performing is helping!
Kat you literally made this video in the best possible timing. Seriously on the verge of losing my mind and you have made me feel so much better thank you!!!!!!!
Something that I’ve been participating is a collaborative musical medley for all of the community theatres in my area. We get a song every week & film our vocal parts & a super talented music director edits them all together & makes a medley! It’s been so fun during quarantine
thanks for asking! im pretty decent but there are a few bumps in the road. school started again and gives me something to keep me busy! love you, mom. *glad you’re doing okay*
I'm glad your doing better! I've finally been listening to musicals, trying to find new ones to listen to and literally re-watching Newsies and Hamilton on Disney plus 100 times 😂
