1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
I interviewed 5 pretty different people. Some were more silly, others more serious and one in between. But I have to say while interviewing them and, right after, watching them practice for their auditions, they shared one huge obvious trait in common that little did I fail to realize it makes musical theatre what it is: not being themselves anymore but becoming the character. One of the interviewees mentioned before that her best advice was to become the character and repeatedly, the musical director said that was incredibly important too. There's a lot more passion and development physically and mentally in musical theatre than I thought.
I guess one thing I would change in the next interviews are ask more "why" questions instead of "how" and "what" questions. (more personal questions along with more resourceful questions)
2. Did I get additional resources and contacts? What is the most useful? Why?
Though it wasn't brought up in the recording and they are high school students still, they did not have any additional resources or contacts besides joining a church or looking for a program yourself.
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
They may have been high school students but they have been doing musical theatre for over 5 years, almost over 10 years! So they are extremely experienced and know what they're doing. The interview helped me understand and see how the actors are and what they expect and feel.
