I've always wanted a good video on wig prep! It's so funny, I was thinking of making a video suggestion about it some time, but you read my mind! Wigs have always been a bit of a fascination of mine - how you manage to make them look so natural, that you almost can't believe it's a wig. :)
Home from ballet with a glass of fizz in hand. I’ve always been terrible at pin curls, I have thin hair but lots of it (that’s what my hairdresser tells me). Definitely picked up some tips here x
Took me back to my theatre days working as a head of the wig Dept in Toronto🇨🇦. I miss working in theatre. I was trained in Bristol as a wig maker with Peter Owen. I now work in film and hair prep is different and the lace is cut right back because of high definition technology.But my training and experience in theatre since the 80s I now teach hairdressers all they need to work in film, as they don’t have, wig training and period hair styling👍🙏🏻❤️
Yeah I hate how theatre wigs are so detectable, to think of casting a blonde as a brunette when they in theatre just want to put everyone in unnatural hair whereas on screen we have bigger budgets yet limit only a few actors to a different look
@@dsmproductionsofficial131 Theatre wigs will only be detectable if there is no Orchestra pit to create a distance of 15 feet from the stage, and the colour of the lace does not match the skin colour.of the actress, The beauty of wearing a wig is you can choose any colour wig to crate a character, its done very often in film, I have a recent example first season a natural blond the producers wanted a brunette character so we coloured her hair, for the second season she wanted a wig to avoid the colouring to protect her hair from the processing and the hot tools. Wearing a wig for an extended period of time for a stage production is ideal as it save time as you will have days for wig maintenance and it takes 5-8 minutes to put on a styled wig once the actor is taught to do her own hair prep. I headed les miserable, Miss Saigon, Beauty and the beast, we will rock you, Jolson, Man of La Mancha, Christmas Carol, the nutcracker ballet to name a few,
Wow nice. I'm very interesting in musical theater, and have always been curious as to how they fit their hair under the wigs. I have super long thick hair (like nearly a meter long) so I'd probably have to use a different technique, but interesting video nevertheless!
As you are blonde why did they deliberately make the ensemble brunette just to give you a wig that’s detectable, wigs should be flawless and not obvious
Great video but what do you do to flatten down the lace flaps by the ears?

Woop that’s spooky! Glad you enjoyed!
How can you not detect the wig I saw the joins and it made you wonder that no actor existed who had the right brown hair

Georgie Ashford why do they need a blonde actor to play a brunette with pigtails it can’t be that hard to find an actor with that look
I'd love to hear/see about how Wig Prep goes for people with Afro-Texured hair/ Natural Hair/4C Hair

who made those wigs they look so realistic
Who turns on the microphone? When do you test it out to do mic check?
We have a team of Sound engineers who control the microphones and they check them before the show! X
I want one of those wigs
why do they keep the lace on the wigs x
As the hair has to attach to something and it’s the best way to give the correct hairline...I think. I will ask though!
she looks like anne hathaway i’m shook
Firstttttt
