I am young performer and desire to sing while I dance. Any help in knowing how to macro my songs with my dance together would be most appreciated.

Unfortunately, you can't dance and sing at once unless you use the /sing social.

Hi there,


Welcome to the wonderful world of entertainment in SWG


I suspect that most of your questions have been answered before so I'll start you off with some links and if after reading these you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Please note that during practice if you wish to stop you can use /dump to stop all queued macros/aliases.


Finally, I love singing and although mostly it is arrangements at the moment, I am going to start working on some original lyrics. Some examples from gigs:

Hey there I sing often and write my own lyrics. I have them posted below. All but one in the normal and Pirate series are original. The Swoopbike songs are from punk songs I filked. I am hoping the others like Illya and Tiaga and Ern and Kyna and many more put up their lyrics so we can get to popularize them.

What I do is either:




Dance in non band flourish a base move and /sing with macros that have timed pauses for the audience to follow better or type them by hand. I actually do spontaneous singing and rapping which is hard to get consistant interesting songs but its a good challenge every now and then.




I also have done this where I bandflourished and had another member of the band flourish me dancing while I did /sing and typed it out.




Often some songs will have backup emotes or phrases and flourishes to the lead singer. We've done duets too.




Don't forget using /rap to talk-sing stories, also /announce and /shout for different chat looking boxes as appropriate to the song. I always do a base dance at least while singing.




Ex.:


Macro Shoeboxlove1




/sing I am thinking of a shoebox with a very special heart;/pause 10;/sing I can hear the lovebox humming when I lay there in the dark;/pause 15;/sing in my dreams and in the daytime I think about its state;/pause 5;/emote blowskiss;/pause 5;/sing And I know its always waiting even if life makes me late




Macro Shoeboxlove2




/sing....




you get the picture. You would drag maybe 5 macros to the toolbar and hit them sequentially




Now if you're dedicated and want a band to flourish specifically with your verse and synch up

your moves you go the alias route and you can control and flourish the band and instruments along with yourself into the script.

Tiaga was master of that route, I don't have time to be technical. I can't take credit for any of this. It was Nare's song and

Tiaga's alias'ing but here's a sample:




songtocyreth /cyl1w;/cyl2m;/cyl2w;/cyl3m;/cyl3w;/cyl4m;/cyl4w;/cyl5m;/cyl5w;/cyl6m;/cyl6w;/cyl7m;

/cyl7w;/cyl8m;/cyl8w;/cyl9m;/cyl9w;/cyl10m;/cyl10w;/cyl11m;/cyl11w;/cyl12m;/cyl12w;/cyl13m;/cyl13w;

/cyl14m;/cyl14w;/cyl15m;/cyl15w;/cyl16m;/cyl16w;/cyl17m;/cyl17w;/cyl18m;/cyl18w;/cyl19m;/cyl19w;

/cyl20m;/cyl20w;/cyl21m;/cyl21w;/cyl22m;/cyl22w;/cyl23m;/cyl23w;/cylend
cyc1m /startd basic;/b 5 m;/b 5 b;/stopd;/pause 1;/startd basic;/b 1 m;/b 1 b;/stopd
cyc1w /sing I never thought you would leave me this way...
cyc2m /startd basic;/b 2 m;/b 2 b;/stopd;/pause 1;/startd basic;/b 4 m;/b 4 b;/stopd
cyc2w /sing But somehow I knew you could never stay..
