Zomeo

Description

• Following is a snippet of an earlier version of the macro used by Inu as Thoomiet in the Puddleby Players production of "Zomeo and Thoomiet". Note when auditioning, do not use macros, as spontaneity and ability to think on the fly are what appears to be measured. The entire macro is not posted here.

Dependencies

• None.

Noteworthy Techniques

• Using cues to indicate what is next.
• Including other players lines/actions in messages to help track where you are.
• Ending each macro call when that player's lines or action ends, and starting a new call.
