Cue Card Girl
Cue cards, also known as note cards, are cards with words written on them that help actors and speakers remember what they have to say. They are typically used in television productions where they can be held off-camera and are unseen by the audience. Cue cards are being used on many late night talk shows including ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' and ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' as well as variety and sketch comedy shows like ''Saturday Night Live'' due to the practice of last-minute script changes. Many other TV shows, including game and reality shows, use cue cards due to their mobility, as a teleprompter only allows the actor or broadcaster to look directly into the camera. History Cue cards were originally used to aid aging actors. One early use was by John Barrymore in the late 1930s. Cue cards did not become widespread until 1949 when Barney McNulty, a CBS page and former military pilot, was asked to write ailing actor Ed Wynn's script lines on large sh ...

The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien Cue Cards
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'' ...

Subtitle
Subtitles are texts representing the contents of the audio in a film, television show, opera or other audiovisual media. Subtitles might provide a transcription or translation of spoken dialogue. Although naming conventions can vary, captions are subtitles that include written descriptions of other elements of the audio, like music or sound effects. Captions are thus especially helpful to deaf or hard-of-hearing people. Subtitles may also add information that is not present in the audio. Localizing subtitles provide cultural context to viewers. For example, a subtitle could be used to explain to an audience unfamiliar with sake that it is a type of Japanese wine. Lastly, subtitles are sometimes used for humor, as in ''Annie Hall'', where subtitles show the characters' inner thoughts, which contradict what they were saying in the audio. Creating, delivering, and displaying subtitles is a complicated and multi-step endeavor. First, the text of the subtitles needs to be writte ...

Prompter (theatre)
The prompter (sometimes prompt) in a Theater (building), theatre is a person who prompts or cues actors when they forget their lines or neglect to move on the stage (theatre), stage to where they are supposed to be situated. The role of the souffleur, or prompter, reaches back to the medieval theatre, but has disappeared in countries like Britain, the United States, France, and Italy. In these places, actors are expected to assist each other in case they forget their lines. However, in Germany and central Europe, the job of the prompter is still very much alive and integral to the repertory system. This is because multiple plays are performed in rotation each week, making it challenging for actors to memorise all their lines. In theatres without prompters, their role is undertaken by the Stage management, stage manager, who will have a copy of the script called the prompt book. This is the most definitive version of the script for any one performance, and will contain details ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prompter (opera)
The prompter (French/German: ''souffleur''; Italian: ''rammentatore'', ''suggeritore'') in an opera house gives the singers the opening words of each phrase a few seconds early. Prompts are mouthed silently or hurled lyrically in a half-voice, audible (hopefully) only on stage. (This is in contrast to the Prompter (theatre), prompter in a Theatre (building), theatre who aids actors who have forgotten their words or lines.) Opera prompters are traditionally housed in a stuffy wooden box at the center-front edge of the stage, above the orchestra pit. They are visible to the performers and no one else. Technology has brought air conditioner, cool air and small Electronic visual display, display screens, among other advances, to support their work. Effective prompting can be a challenge. The American prompter Philip Eisenberg recounted the story of a Maria Callas performance during which she needed louder prompts. The famed diva swooped down in a curtsy right in front of the prompter' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bob ("Weird Al" Yankovic Song)
"Bob" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic from the 2003 album '' Poodle Hat''. The song is a parody sung in the style of Bob Dylan, and each line of the lyrics is a palindrome as is the title.Lily E. Hirsch, ''Weird Al: Seriously'' (2022), p. 30.Richard Elliott, Michael Bull, ''The Sound of Nonsense'' (2017), p. 75. For example, the song's first line is "I, man, am regal—a German am I". The song did not chart at the time of its release, but later became the subject of critical and scholarly examination. Music critic Nathan Rabin argues that the song's lyrics "sound cryptic enough to be genuine Dylanesque, but are in fact palindromes delivered in an uncanny re-creation of Dylan's nasal whine." Randall Auxier and Douglas R. Anderson described Yankovic as having "bested" Dylan with the song, in a hypothetical competition.Randall E. Auxier, Douglas R. Anderson, ''Bruce Springsteen and Philosophy: Darkness on the Edge of Truth'' (2011), p. 90. Composition and style "Bob" was writt ...
