How many arial acts have you seen been buzzed or said no to? There's usually only 1 or 2 arial acts that audition each year and they usually make it very far in the competition. Like if one of your talents right now is doing maneuvers with a rope in the air then you probably should audition for the show right now.
I don't know if it's even worth bothering to go. I feel pretty tired from last nights show and I don't even know these guys for one 2 minute performance of the day. I do like kpop (mostly from 2012-2018 and sprinkles here and there of modern kpop but mostly girl groups) but I don't know these guys at all lol Could just youtube it. Yeah the audience experience probably is worth going to alone but even if I have a barcode printout– it feels like I'd be too late for even the 3pm one since it'd take over an hour (1h25m) to get there plus have to eat. It's probably not like a regular day at agt where you can just show up 30 minutes before the time slot and get the ticket I bet... but I haven't heard anyone talk about it on social media so maybe it'd be ok to even go still? Just don't wanna do all that driving, pay for parking and only to be turned away.
What time are you going to line up? I have a 3PM timeslot ticket reserved for myself only (have to redeem there by lining up as usual) but I feel like the whole worlds gonna go so it will be incredibly tough to get a seat haha. The sub doesnt seem as active as I thought it'd be? Anywhere else people are talking about this? The photo on ig has 154k likes...
I was 100% convinced Nene is the front runner the entire time but hundred fingers just blew me away. Feels like it will definitely be either of them winning. Main advantage would be nene being the most viral act so hopefully she chose a good song for next week.
I was sitting near Jourdan Blue and his family. He was live streaming and he sometimes had me in the shot 😂. I wonder if i could play it back. I am wondering why was he there ... could mean he probably guest performs next week?
Anyway pretty fun episode. Was a bit tiring clapping and standing up, yelling for almost 3 hours (pretape included). 😂 i don't know but this is the most tired agt made me feel ever and id always go to the live shows for many years. Probably because chuck was literally right in front of me and i didn't want to disappoint him lol
I have a feeling there will be too many people on wednesday to see nct127 and I'm already going tomorrow alone. I am expecting to probably need to leave my house at least 3 or 4 hours before ticket redemption lineup on wed because these mega kpop fans are not playing around when it comes to their fav groups. I only really like two of their songs but I'm worried not being able to make it after driving for more than an hour then being turned away to find out they're all out of tickets 😆. I went to see le serrafim last time but I was alone and it was fine... but this is a boy group and I remember when I went to see BTS at the Dolby for agt results they were soooooooooooo crazy and that was pre kpop mainstream days. Their agt announcement page has over 150k likes 🫣.. im like omg is the entire california gonna be there lol
They just performed at D23 expo just now and will be at glendale galleria & THE GROVE tomorrow. Pasadena is super close. There's no way they don't! Just speculation! Lol
I am a huge fan of Katseye and they just released their album today. I have a strong feeling they could come to promote it and their world tour -- also since Daniella was an AGT alumni as a child and they showed her old audition recently but I feel like their performance might not be appropriate for all audiences unless they have a more pg outfit, lol. Man that's gonna be crazy getting tickets. I'll be there every day for the live shows again.
Jessica Sanchez has to perform again since she won. I'll also guess maybe Mike Yung since he won an oscar last time but chances aren't that high.
Not really too many people I'm interested in seeing this time. I must've seen Nene's audition and other videos way too many times to count. I haven't been excited with any other contestant before like this and I've been watching since season 1. Everytime I watch the audition I cry tears of joy by the time it's almost done and I never cry lol...
The only others that grab my attention are Travis Garland, Hundred Fingers...
Royal Lasers is guaranteed to do well because of being a new creation from Light Balance team. So I'm not really too excited for that but I just know I'll enjoy seeing it in person as usual. I just wish the choreography was a little more lively and unique.
Come Here is nice but I'm not really into that. Seems too plain. Maybe if they had a unique costume and better songs.
Young and Strange is pretty fun but other than that I don't really see much competition this year.
So it seems like the minimum we have to spend is at least $2k after shipping to get one of these new at-home consumer friendly uv printers. I was eyeing on the Morpho UV f1080 model since it was the most affordable option at $1599 + $100 shipping. And they claim the heads last longer because of their special formulated inks and safer to use indoors in living spaces... since the doors can be fully closed while printing. And you don't need all these special cleaning things to purchase to maintain it.
But I don't have a special room for it unless it's fine to use in my livingroom. The thing is - my livingroom is next to my kitchen and the only other possible space is my garage which isn't connected to my house. It's a separate building in the garden. It's not small - but I've been trying my best to make the environment inside workable. I have all my other machines in there already but I am still cleaning it up and trying to figure out a way to cool it down better. My home is a california home and the garage is wooden structure... There's no insulation on the walls ... you can see the wood and the big door is the hand lifting one door you lift up. We typically have good weather here ... but during the summer right now it's been 80-98F during this heatwave during the day and during the night is pretty good like 60s-70s. It hardly ever rains through the year and when it's not a heat wave typically the weather is in the 70s. I was thinking maybe if I just print when it's cooler during the evening or night then it'd be fine... and just regularly clean dust.
The price of a good laptop it costs. Well I was contemplating about getting a new laptop since my m1 is kinda struggling lately and low storage - I only have 8gb of ram or a get machine that can be used to make cool stuff to complement my 3D printers and possibly sell commissioned items to people if they want and make money off of... I don't have a business (yet) or know how to do that yet. Mostly for hobby and maybe make extra money on the side... but I don't think it'll be paid off anytime soon if I try to sell things because I haven't tried selling anything before. I just want to make cool stuff. Lol. I do have a desktop pc custom build with rtx4090 but i wanted another laptop for portability... maybe a macbook neo would be fine
The thing that concerns me most about kickstarter is that they claim it will ship probably more than 3 months after it ends and $2000 + dollars is a lot of money to be taken out of a bank account all at once and possibly be waiting an unknown period of time - possibly arrival February 2027 or so from a new company you have no clue what will happen .... the support may be active right now with the ceo and stuff but you never know. I don't want another fisker situation. That's a loooong time to be waiting for something after they take your money.
I'm new to this uv printing stuff and just saw it at anime expo. Thought it would be cool to have... just a regular attendee.
I also have an xtool m1 ultra laser
Winner: Nene Royal
Runner Up: hundred fingers
Im only confident with half of these btw
Let's see if this comes true in a few months. 😃
With the focus on adults collecting high quality action figures, painting miniatures, 3d printed ai slop dragons, and fighting over Pokemon Cards. Wonder how the toys will react with cosplayers
I've learned quite a bit practicing my favorite Queen, Guns and Roses, Sting, system of a down, Journey and can match their tone even a lot of the time.. but once I try to sing in the "rnb style" e.g. wanya morris style of Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight higher notes like upper 4th octave.. it all just falls apart like it's a whole different technique lol. When I practice speech level singing exercises it seems like I have to restrain myself more than I do when I normally sing but when i do that it gets closer to rnb style. But it feels like a stronger less airy falsetto most of the time 😂 and sometimes when I hear these singers it sounds like they have a growl to their sound like in gospel church so I try to add that in too at certain sections but I wonder how the heck are they able to not sing so loudly and sound like their speaking voice up there without changing the vowels all together and make it match with this other lighter mix sound (e.g. peabo bryson in the mid - upper 4th octave). Like in rock like "dont stop believin", steve parry would approach the words differently. My voice would default to that but if peabo bryson did that same song he'd probably still sound like hes not even changing the words up there. Like lately, ive been trying to practice more towards the peabo bryson way but it feels like a looooot of adjusting to do. It feels odd lol but ever since I've been practicing a lot more of his style, I feel lots more improvement than ever before.
Certain vowel sounds I can get right with rnb but other sounds feels like I haven't discovered how to do those vowels in a more "chesty" connected way without a raised larynx sound whereas with rock its like second nature but vowels become steve perry ish... like some of the technique sounds I learned from singing rock pop songs can overlap with rnb singing but other sounds are just very very hard like the OOOOOOO sound. Can do a scale up and down and even sirens with all sorts of vowels without disconnecting but it freaking sounds like a head voice instead with OOOOOOO and if I try making it "chestier" it sounds so squeezed and I naturally feel like i need to open up into an OH sound instead or even OWWWW. Like im stuck in overdrive cvt mode for OO.
Like when I speak it's pretty twangy and strong... i usually narrate videos a lot. Probably because of being a baritone or something. I always found love Ballad songs easier to sing completely than most.... but the newer pop style seems insanely difficult.
Now when a video goes viral it seems like the person isn't that popular as they would be if it were 10-20 years ago.
I remember when Susan Boyle got viral... everyone locally that I met even knew who she was. I'd go to the dentist and even they were wanting to talk about her. "Hey did you see Susan Boyle!?" Now if someone new on Got Talent goes viral, people in real life likely will still not know who the person is! Unless it was an act from a specific country like Philippines where they'd actually hold a big celebration for the person on the street 😂 or a person from the show representing local town in the middle of nowhere.
Same with American Idol. Seemed like everyone knew the contestants especially season 1-3. Pre-social media. All we had was watching tv and it was something to always look forward to voting for every week with multiple phones. Now it isn't so special these days to vote. I remember when my entire family wanted everyone they knew to vote for their favorites to win a show lol. We'd call the number non stop with every phone we could find and wait til the time the polls closed. It was THAT serious.
Like what was the recent last act in the past 5 years to ever go globally famous that it would be shared across social media feed everywhere? I can't even think of one.
To see the look of that one reddit users face lol
I see a100 htvront for sale with hat, tumbler, and heat press combo $339 but its 12x10... same with sublimation printer (et8550, 15000) and more... they have pretty good sales right now. If i buy the wonderpress today (kickstarter ends tomorrow) then i'd have to wait til end of july when they ship it. Lol. I'd love to start ASAP. Still need a printer but thats on sale too.
Theres also hrvront auto press 2 $279 and ver 1 of it $188
