Article: Directors pay just as much attention to you off stage as they do on stage. Avoid talking to others and pay attention to other performers who are up on stage. Even if other performers sing other songs, watching them can help give you insight on how to perform better as a singer yourself! Don't forget to turn off - or silence - your phone. A director will not just analyze your singing ability during an audition; they will analyze who you are as a person. This may be a little intimidating, but standing up straight, planting your feet, and keeping your hands steady can be enough to display confidence.  If you are feeling really nervous, a deep breathing exercise before your performance can help ground you and relax your muscles. Another way to relax is by practicing mindfulness. Some nerves are a matter of thinking too much about what can and can't happen. Stopping to recognize and simplify the moment you're in can help calm your thoughts. Making one mistake in the middle of your song does not mean you lost your chance! In fact, showing you can recover from a mistake is a chance to show your professionalism as an actor.Don't look annoyed or complain if the pianist makes a mistake playing the notes of your song. Not only is this rude to the pianist, it signals to the director that you may be difficult to work with. Some musical auditions may require you to act out a scene. Auditions that do require acting may not tell you until you are on the spot, so it is better to mentally prepare for one rather than not.  Don't worry about stumbling over lines, especially if the musical is original and no one has seen the script before. Instead, focus on listening on what your scene partner is saying and understanding what the scene is about.  If the audition is for an original musical, try requesting a copy of the script from the theater hosting the musical (not the audition) in advance.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Act respectfully towards other performers before and after your performance. When singing on stage, display confident body language. Don't stop singing if you make a mistake. Expect an impromptu request to act out a scene during the audition.
Article: Cut the fish open. Use a knife to remove all of the skin, including the scales. Try to cut the fish as close to the skin as possible so you don’t waste any fish. That way, you can bypass the scaling process completely. You can cook the fish with the scales and skin still attached. After your fish is done, remove the skin. It will be loosened by the heat and you can cut it off pretty easily. The scales will come off with the skin. This works for all types of cooking methods. A scaler is a special tool made just for scaling fish. It has jagged metal edges and looks sort of like an extreme hair brush! Use the scaler instead of a knife, scraping along each side of the fish from tail to head. You can buy fish scalers online or in stores that carry kitchen accessories.

Remove the skin prior to cooking. Cook the fish before removing the skin. Use a fish scaler instead of a knife.
Article: You first step is to figure out where your moth infestation originated. Look for holes in any garments made out of animal fibers to try to find out where the moths have been leaving their eggs, since it's the larvae that feed on them after they hatch. Commonly what will happen is that someone buys a piece of secondhand clothing that's already been infested, thus transferring the infestation to their own closet. Depending on the source's financial and sentimental value as well as the extent of the infestation, you may either decide to have the item cleaned and repaired, or it may be more cost effective and safe for the rest of your wardrobe to simply dispose of the infested items. For items that are made of wool or animal products, this means taking them to the dry cleaner's. Let the workers know that you want the clothes cleaned specifically for moths so that they'll use chemicals that will kill moth eggs. Everything else needs to go into the wash with hot water, preferably around 120° Fahrenheit (roughly 49° Celsius), to be sure that any stray caterpillars are destroyed. Finish this process off by drying them in the sunlight, which is known to kill larvae. After you've found the source and gotten your clothes cleaning underway, you need to clean your closet. Moths' eggs can end up in a whole host of places: your floor, the tops and bottoms of shelves, and even the ceiling. Do a thorough job of vacuuming and dusting, especially in the corners and any carpeted areas.  Moth eggs can hide in carpet and under furniture, so it's very important that you thoroughly vacuum everywhere.  Although you do not need to use a special spray for solid, wood surfaces where dusting is easy, there are special sprays that you can buy to use on your clothing and carpet to repel and kill moths. ContainerStore.com, GreenFibres.com, Lakeland.co.uk, and RoullierWhite.com all sell sprays ranging from $7.50 to $18.60 per bottle. These traps lure male moths to powder that contains the pheromones of female moths. This powder sticks to their wings and gives the male moths the false appearance of female moths. With both male and female moths confused as to who to breed with, the breeding cycle can be effectively ended. Mothballs are an effective way to kill moths. They contain naphthalene, which is made from crude oil or coal tar, and turns from a solid to a toxic gas. When it's inhaled, it reacts with cells, breaking them down and damaging tissue.  Items like coats that have pockets can be protected by putting mothballs in the pockets. Be careful: using mothballs around small children and pets is potentially very dangerous, especially if ingested.  Clothing that has been stored with mothballs should be washed afterward to prevent anemia (when blood doesn't carry oxygen through the body) caused by naphthalene vapors. If you develop a headache, nausea, dizziness, or vomiting after being exposed to mothballs, discontinue using and dispose of the mothballs. High temperatures will kill moth eggs and larvae. So using an iron, which applies direct, high heat to your clothing, will kill moth eggs and larvae clinging to your clothes. It is perfectly safe to iron your wool clothing unless the garment's tags say 'do not iron' or 'dry clean only.' If the clothing item can be ironed, set your iron to the 'wool' setting, use a steam heat, and press from the inside with a pressing cloth between the iron and your clothes. Sub-zero temperatures will kill any larvae or moths in any of their developing stages. If you live in a place that gets cold enough, you can leave your items outside for the day. Otherwise, you can pack them into the freezer for a few days without needing to pack them into plastic bags.  Make sure if you've washed your clothes first that they are completely dry before freezing them or else you risk moisture turning into ice crystals on the cloth. Some sources indicate to freeze your clothes in plastic bags for a week to be sure any pests are completely dead. If all other efforts to rid your closet of a moth infestation fail, you can always turn to a professional pest control service for help. There are usually 24-hour emergency call out services available that you can use to book a last-minute appointment. While this method will most likely be the priciest, it will also probably be the most thorough.  Reach out to a local fumigator by looking up pest control in your phonebook or doing an online search using keywords like "pest control near me." Try finding a number of services to compare pricing, and look to websites like Yelp or Angie's List for customer reviews. Be aware that if you choose to go with fumigation, they will most likely be using commercial pesticides. You and any children or pets you have may need to avoid any areas that have been fumigated for a day or more.
