A couple of folks were discussing the performances at last night competition and I said I would post how I did it in case people can learn or take from it. Here is the performance filmed after the event and music added by Izayoi [youtube]1h_7cm7-Umg[/youtube] I hope this helps some to try performing. I did some tips long ago on bard performing macros if you are just starting (Bard Macroing) Initial Concept was taken from a FF7 play that Cloud and Aerith did. There is a video of it here and it is quite funny, especially the alternative choices they could have made at the end of this clip. Show Content The YouTube of the FF7 original (https://youtu.be/11HSbwLbSno?t=98) The play had to be 5-7min long so I decided on for characters and quick change format. I also wanted a mix of simple story and simple actions. I messed with equipment to create the five main roles Show Content Shots of the Characters on stageThe Actor in a minimal attire back stage look The King The Hero The Princess The Dragon I then created the text of the play and added in emotes and timing through trial and error. To make it easier I had 10 macros and also put the costume changes on hotbars. Here is my screenshot and you can see I had each costume change setup next to the macro that followed it. So the play sequence was.. Repeat until done Go behind the changing screen Select the costume Walk to stage Activate Macro Wait for macro to finish (a "." at the end of each macro does that ) The audience sees simple narrative that is easy to follow as well as a character visualisation that emotes appropriately bringing the whole thing alive. I kept it very simple as there is a lot to take in and you really want the effect rather than some in depth thing that most will not bother with. Show Content Here is the text of the 10 macros Note, it you don't specify the channel eg "/yell" then it comes out in the channel you select, so these days I leave it out and select say, yell, party etc.. as appropriate, 0 /say ((this performance in in the SHOUT chennel)) /yell ((this performance in in the SHOUT chennel)) /shout ((this performance in in the SHOUT chennel)) /wait 10 /shout . /shout The [Actor] steps on the stage in plain garb /wait 6 /welcome motion /shout [Actor] I wish to preent an old stage play about a king in trouble,  initialy performed by the famed Cloud and Aerith, now adapted to one person. /wait 8 /shout [Actor] I hope you enjoy /bow motion /shout . 1 /shout The [King] is in his throne room worried . . . . . . . . . . /wait 6 /upset motion /shout [King] "I am the King of Gladia, and an evil shadow has fallen over my land." /wait 8 /shout [King] "My daughter the Princess Rosa has been kidnapped by the Evil Dragon king, Valvados.
