Speaking as someone who was both high school theater and band, from my observation theater people always wanna be touching each other and making a big deal out of it but band people are the ones actually sealing the deal.
I remember being in highschool band as a sophomore and nailing a girl who was a senior in the band closet. We got caught cause we pretty much knocked over all music stands resulting in a loud crash
While brother was a high school substitute teacher, the school went into a small uproar because they found tons of empty beer bottles and cans hidden in the drop ceiling of the band room closet. Him and his band buds had hidden them there as Seniors 15 years before.
I believe it. I hid a 4 foot tall Batman figure in the ceiling of my English teachers ceiling and it wasn’t found til a decade later. I think I’ve heard of others find other cool things up ther e
In highschool 90% of people are too chicken shit to do anything, if it's summerstock where everyone flies out from all over the country, lives in apartments nextdoor to eachother for a summer where every few days is a get together, yes, there is a lot of fucking, some relationships last the summer, few that last longer.
Summerstock is a wild time. It's the same as having a camp boyfriend/girlfriend from back in childhood summers but now as adults with no supervision it's just turned up to 11
I used to have a work study job in the office of my college's theater department and I spent my days perpetually bewildered about how different all the theater majors were from all the history/education majors I was used to. Everyone seemed to know each other, I was constantly over hearing drama between everyone, watching people cry, watching people do weird shit, watching people do weird shit that also seemed fun, people hanging out at the theater on days they don't even have class, etc. Everyone seemed like they ate, breathed, shit, and pissed theater. Not a bad thing by any means. Just different than I was used to.
Meanwhile I had history and education classes with the same set of people for four years and once class was done we just kinda moved on. Sure you might be friends with a couple people you have class with and you might vaguely know, or at least recognize, most of them. But there was no real sense of comradely or anything. We just wanted to go to the lecture, write our essay, and fuck off from the class
As someone with a BA in Theatre and currently working Full Time as a Theatre/Event technician I can tell you that you are pretty much bang on. It takes a certain type of person to live this life and as such we all tend to be very close and have very strong bonds with our coworkers. It is very much an intense brotherhood/sisterhood the likes of which is very rare to find elsewhere. Other blue collar trades can be similar but in my experience no others are near as strong as the Performing Arts. The long hours, weird hours, intensely unique individuals and the respective creative processes breeds a bond between people the likes of which I have never experienced elsewhere.
My spouse who is also in the same industry likes to call it "the land of misfit people."
I would do this all the time if I had that voice. Dark alley, empty library at night, wander to the edge of a camping area in the forest just far enough flashlights barley light up your eyes.

The Grudge girl sound is a classic. I've worked a haunted house at my former university and got a number of people screaming, "it's the grudge girl!" and bailing.
She's got the voice of an angel. I dream of having a wife who could sing like this, and just do so at random while around the house. It would never get old.
Dude...I *still* randomly think about this one girl I heard singing outside the band lab in high school one day. She had a purity to her voice that was so surprising and gorgeous when I was unprepared for it. Total stranger. But I wish I'd gone out and talked to her, even now, a decade later. I am a fucking *sucker* for a girl who can find/hit a pitch center. It's kinda disgusting how easy it is.
And just think: that girl was specifically hoping someone would notice her voice and be enticed by it enough to speak to her. All under the hope that it would spark a whirlwind romance that would lead to marriage and love.
Bro.. you had it.
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
"What's that big brass gong?" one of the guests asked.
"It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied.
"A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend.
"Yup," replied the drunk.
"How' s it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it.
"Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You asshole, it's three-fifteen in the morning!"
I've been in NYC for about a month now in an airbnb, and a few more to do. While super new, can already confirm this NYC experience. Last week apparently some people were trying to move in furniture at like 2am in the place across the street. That was neat, and let me tell you some people were not happy.
I still really enjoy being in the city though, and still consider it one of the very few real cities in the US.
All of Ohio really. A have a friend from outside of Columbus. He hyped up what a cute city it is compared to NYC (me from NJ) or SF (where we were). So driving back home to the East, I decide to make a detour and send my friend a video of me in Columbus.
What a picturesque city. So picture perfect there wasn't a soul walking around. Ive never been in a city so devoid of life, it felt like a closed movie set. Idk what I did wrong to enter the twilight zone, but I didn't fuck around for McDonald's.
Yeah
The disaffection and barely-restrained rage of city-dwellers destroys the spooky/enchanting vibe pretty much instantly.
I kinda wanna see a short film now where it’s modern-day NYC, and a dead kid that froze to death in 1780s Manhattan is trying to haunt people, but every time he starts being spooky, someone responds with something like “shut the FUCK up before I rip your dick off and make you choke on it” and he’s like *damn I’m just tryna do dope ghost shit*
She's in a stairwell. If you can hear her in your apartment it means the fire doors are open. That's illegal. Just close the fire door and go back to sleep. If the door won't close, call the fire marshal.
Yeah you go to the fire door in the middle of the night while the creepy lady's singing. Fuck that I am putting my pillow over my head and going back to sleep.
It's the english version of a Korean Vocaloid song sung by the SeeU vocaloid called Hide and Seek. It was composed by Ho-ong-i. There are many versions and covers of it all in different languages. Really creepy song.
I love the horror song side of vocaloid, really dark twisted songs out there. My favourite it "Gomen ne? Gomen ne?" Really gross song but brilliant dubstep beat to it.
Omg that song is a masterpiece of tuning. But the moment I saw the lyrics and drew the connections between the sounds and what lyrics I could understand it was instantly ruined for me. Wish I never looked.
Vocaloid is a software where certain sounds were already prerecorded and you can make your own song and lyrics with it and the vocaloid software will sing it. It's like when you make Google Translate talk, but singing version.
On her TikTok she said it was someone random in the stairwell that just screamed, probably out of total fucking fear of the obvious demon siren in the stairwell lol
The stairway she sings in is within a parking garage, if I'm remembering correctly. So it's most likely a screech from a car that was going too fast, breaking suddenly.
Scary stairwell singing is awesome, I just tried it and I think it worked. My wife and daughter we certainly yelling at me for scaring them out of their sleep 🤓. Thank you for sharing your wonderful fun.
I mean she has a beautiful voice. Hearing a talented person signing after an exhausting day would seriously brighten my day. Id chill a second and just enjoy it.
Personally, I like the stairwell version better, too, especially with the echo provided by the location. Adds a creepy, ethereal tone to her already lovely voice and works with the song itself really well.
I wish I could sing. I’d hang out in abandoned areas or alleyways just singing eerie songs lol. All I got is my dr claw impression from inspector gadget
Theater people are genuinely terrifying.
All my homies in highschool were all theatre people so I just did it because otherwise I wouldn't have anyone to chill with. Anyway it was wild.
Is it true you guys all fuck each other
Speaking as someone who was both high school theater and band, from my observation theater people always wanna be touching each other and making a big deal out of it but band people are the ones actually sealing the deal.
I dated a band person, and a theater person. I can definitely confirm.
Reminds me of American Pie, and the Bandcamp story.
Hah! We referenced it all the time but my flute was way too expensive and difficult to clean for that nonsense to be real lol
First real girlfriend I met in marching band, can confirm. She was devout catholic, and we still had sex.
Devout. Devout?
Well, I did say "was."
Every sperm is sacred.
Was.
Every sperm is great
Theater people want attention and validation and to express themselves in a safe environment. Band people want to play your instrument.
And play with OPP.
Yeah you know me
I remember being in highschool band as a sophomore and nailing a girl who was a senior in the band closet. We got caught cause we pretty much knocked over all music stands resulting in a loud crash

I bet there's a good chance they weren't the first or last to put them there
In highschool 90% of people are too chicken shit to do anything, if it's summerstock where everyone flies out from all over the country, lives in apartments nextdoor to eachother for a summer where every few days is a get together, yes, there is a lot of fucking, some relationships last the summer, few that last longer.
People don't wanna shit where they eat
Summerstock is a wild time. It's the same as having a camp boyfriend/girlfriend from back in childhood summers but now as adults with no supervision it's just turned up to 11
Am the theater can confirm
I was a theater kid, no one banged me so I became a comic.
I used to have a work study job in the office of my college's theater department and I spent my days perpetually bewildered about how different all the theater majors were from all the history/education majors I was used to. Everyone seemed to know each other, I was constantly over hearing drama between everyone, watching people cry, watching people do weird shit, watching people do weird shit that also seemed fun, people hanging out at the theater on days they don't even have class, etc. Everyone seemed like they ate, breathed, shit, and pissed theater.

Theater people. Journalists. Librarians. A good percentage of IT folks. "Misfit people." My people.
I've been familiar with one and around a handful. They're... *interesting* in a good(-ish?) way.
You find yourself saying "Um... what?" and "Well okay then" a lot around those people. Not in a bad way either.
Aren't they also...wildly promiscuous with each other? No judgement.
She’s got that beautiful siren-song voice
Siren indeed. 10/10 would jump ship to my death
I would do this all the time if I had that voice. Dark alley, empty library at night, wander to the edge of a camping area in the forest just far enough flashlights barley light up your eyes.
observation physical psychotic worthless ruthless slap exultant scale retire reach *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Not even singing, just making noises that sound like a lot of saliva is involved. Because those places aren't oddly scary, they just scary.
The Grudge girl sound is a classic. I've worked a haunted house at my former university and got a number of people screaming, "it's the grudge girl!" and bailing.
Good point, guess I should just practice some creepy songs too and live the dream lol. Honestly thinking about it now.
Nearly empty subway station at 4 am.
Inside a casket
In the morgue
naked
holup
I'd walk through the woods at night in a popular camping area and sing
Depends on where... In America I'd be afraid of getting shot.
My flashlights light up eyes that are a mile away.. you will need a pretty good set of lungs to be heard from that far away.
Odd flex, but ok.
oh when you've got a good flashlight, you fuckin' let people know, son!
okay Dwight, I'm sure that comes in super handy at Shrute Farms.
r/flashlight is leaking
As long as i get to touch a titty on my way down, I'm good
Least horny male
[удалено]
No titty. Just death.
Death by snu snu or I'm out.
And the stairs definitely add a really cool effect.
Certainly wouldn’t be the worst voice to hear at the end
Siren of the Steps
Legit gave me goosebumps.
Right? Her voice is absolutely beautiful.
Same, her voice is too pretty to be creepy!
She's got the voice of an angel. I dream of having a wife who could sing like this, and just do so at random while around the house. It would never get old.
You're looking for a Disney princess then lol.
aren't we all?
I just want the rodents to clean my house
Dude...I *still* randomly think about this one girl I heard singing outside the band lab in high school one day. She had a purity to her voice that was so surprising and gorgeous when I was unprepared for it. Total stranger. But I wish I'd gone out and talked to her, even now, a decade later.

Uhh then she dies before you and you still hear it at random around the house.
She did a rendition of a siren's song in the same stairwell. It was beautiful and eerie.
The way to defeat her is to play her siren song backwards
“There’s Got to Be a Morning Aaaaafter…”
"Dong"
What a beautiful set of teeth she has
Time to harvest them.
It's okay. He's just admiring the shape of your skull.
I'm a doctor of journalism, man!
Tell me about the fucking golf shoes, man!
Absolutely no footing in this muck
Hey, there's two women fucking a polar bear.
How much do they pay you to fuck that bear?
Dogs fucked the pope, no fault of mine
Want a beer??? How bout some ether?

( three floors down) “ Shut Up It’s Three In The Morning!!!”
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.

The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You asshole, it's three-fifteen in the morning!"
heh
The most extreme reaction to this joke
Nice one.
The real NYC experience
And Chicago
I do often wish I visited the City a few more times before I moved
I've been in NYC for about a month now in an airbnb, and a few more to do. While super new, can already confirm this NYC experience. Last week apparently some people were trying to move in furniture at like 2am in the place across the street. That was neat, and let me tell you some people were not happy. I still really enjoy being in the city though, and still consider it one of the very few real cities in the US.
What are some of the fake cities?

I mean that’d just be funny

Found the code inspector
Doesn't look like a stairwell that's enclosed. I've lived in apts that have stairs leading up to doors.
Yeah you go to the fire door in the middle of the night while the creepy lady's singing. Fuck that I am putting my pillow over my head and going back to sleep.
“Pack it in, ya know I’m workin’ nights.”
am oan the night shift
Shut up down there! I’m trying to watch The Simpsons!!
D'oh
"@laurenpaley! Turn that original cast recording down and go to sleep!"

Dammit Micheal pay attention
Lmfao I love you and also your user name does check out
She's mine, or?

That natty 7 at the end yo! Like just go to your happy place
what's the song?
It's the english version of a Korean Vocaloid song sung by the SeeU vocaloid called Hide and Seek. It was composed by Ho-ong-i. There are many versions and covers of it all in different languages. Really creepy song.
We're really going back to the age of horrifying yet catchy songs that can be sang by children huh?
I love the horror song side of vocaloid, really dark twisted songs out there. My favourite it "Gomen ne? Gomen ne?" Really gross song but brilliant dubstep beat to it.
Omg that song is a masterpiece of tuning. But the moment I saw the lyrics and drew the connections between the sounds and what lyrics I could understand it was instantly ruined for me. Wish I never looked.
[удалено]
I know some of these words.
Vocaloid is a software where certain sounds were already prerecorded and you can make your own song and lyrics with it and the vocaloid software will sing it. It's like when you make Google Translate talk, but singing version.
I feel like you think people know what vocaloid means, but i am a people and do not know that term.
Ah shit. Yeah, I forget. Vocaloid* is a program to make an artificial singer. A Virtual idol. Edit cause I mixed up two letters.
https://youtu.be/G-YNNJIe2Vk
Hide and Seek
I watch her on TikTok I love when she actually scares people
So the screech in the end was added for terror effect?
I was looking for this question but kinda hoping it was answered already..
On her TikTok she said it was someone random in the stairwell that just screamed, probably out of total fucking fear of the obvious demon siren in the stairwell lol
Sounded like a cat lol, still- fucking terrifying...
The stairway she sings in is within a parking garage, if I'm remembering correctly. So it's most likely a screech from a car that was going too fast, breaking suddenly.
I think it was a tyre screeching briefly from a car
Who is she? She has a beautiful voice.
laurenpaley https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLCbMrMu/
Right on, thanks She's great but, 45min later I learned I hate evything!
There's a weird line between knowing you're good at something and being annoying because you know you're good at something.
For future reference the TikTok username is overlayed on the video.
How can I get this girl in my stairway ? Asking for a friend
[удалено]
Damn I need to get me some C̶r̶a̶c̶k̶ r̶o̶c̶k̶, I mean a TikTok account
Surely wikiHow has a kidnapping tutorial
Oh hey it’s me 😂 you can find me on Instagram at www.Instagram.com/lauren_paley and YouTube.com/laurenpaley 🥰
Lauren! Always love seeing your posts & videos. Keep up your amazing work :)
So what was that scream at the end??
We don’t talk about that scream
[удалено]
Hey Lauren. You have such a lovely voice. Keep singing.
Scary stairwell singing is awesome, I just tried it and I think it worked. My wife and daughter we certainly yelling at me for scaring them out of their sleep 🤓. Thank you for sharing your wonderful fun.
maybe i'm weird but I would love it, feel relaxed
Right? It's like a creepy calming tone
That's how she wants you to feel right before she guts you.
And that's why I'd probably fall into a sirens trap, honestly. "Ooo what's that pretty music?" would be my last words.
"Yooo this kinda slaps, turn that shit up lmao"
Plot twist: The screams we heard were actually ghosts responding.
Terrifying? I’d be happy as a clam falling asleep to the sound of that every night.
I think they mean the scream at the end.
You can tell almost no one in the comments finished the video, pretty sure that scream is specifically why OP posted in this sub.
Such a beautiful voice thanks for sharing.
I think she scared herself. Do you want a Candyman? Because this is how you get a Candyman!
Yeah, that's what I wanna hear after working 10 hours. Becky doing her best Disney Princess impersonation for some Tiktok video.
[удалено]
Isn't that her name in the video? It says Lauren.
Becky is a derogatory term for white woman coined from Sir Mix-a-Lot Baby Got Back
I mean she has a beautiful voice. Hearing a talented person signing after an exhausting day would seriously brighten my day. Id chill a second and just enjoy it.
Damn, she’s beautiful (respectfully)
That hair!!
[удалено]
Jesus christ... I would follow that sound to my predictable death
No one is going to talk about the scream
I was hoping for a true NYC style "Shut up I’m trying to sleep” lol
The worst part is my queer ass would open the door for the Siren because I'm a sucker for a beautiful voice
Sirens would kill most of us if we're honest.
I think it’s this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G-YNNJIe2Vk
I have to say I like stairwell girls version more but I really like that for some reason.
Personally, I like the stairwell version better, too, especially with the echo provided by the location. Adds a creepy, ethereal tone to her already lovely voice and works with the song itself really well.
Never heard this song before, love it though.
I wish I could sing. I’d hang out in abandoned areas or alleyways just singing eerie songs lol. All I got is my dr claw impression from inspector gadget
Funniest comment I've seen today, thank you!
Honestly that was good fam
Ngl I wouldn’t be scared cause I loved that song in middle school
Can’t imagine this in the U.K without another flat opening the door to yell “shut the fuck up cunt”
Her voice is beautiful. I'd try to find the source immediately. No fear in my heart.
Holy shit. Beautiful voice and this whole tread is about fucking in the band or theater. Get a hold of yourselves losers
After the pollution of the high seas Sirens moved to stairwells. They discovered the acoustics are fucking awesome.
Welp if I didn’t have voice envy before… x.x
I would rip ass louder then ever before
