To tall! TO TALL?!! I was 6’1 and I got the role of a mouse 🐭 🐁 a flipping mouse!!!

wait, but Medusa also means queen, and she teaches drama... *What a Drama Queen*

The fact that she doesn’t fully resent Medusa, and openly said that she wishes for her to get better and that she learned from her, is something that I think is really cool.

watching the part about becca getting rejected for being "too tall" gets simultaneously both worse and funnier to me now that I (a 20 year old man) am playing a 9 year old boy with my onstage mother being very significantly shorter and visibly younger than me

"she was forced to resign." Well that just sounds like firing with extra steps.

"Forced to resign." Awfully nice way of saying she was fired

I genuinely love Becca, the evil laugh, her moving on, she’s an icon

The way Rebecca describes Medusa def sounds like Bipolar 2, with outbursts of anger, and the switches in tone.

“forcing the boys to sleep in the girls room” god only knows how awkward that mustve been...

I love how her advisor was just like “oh yeah she’s crazy”

Sadly, I think drama teachers getting sucked into only choosing the pretty popular students is all too common. I'm surprised my drama teacher noticed enough about me to have anything to put into my yearly reports. I had to drop drama by 5th form as I couldn't justify a subject that clearly wasn't going to get me anywhere. I've spent most of my life thinking I must have been terrible at acting and it's only been recently with getting involved in drama projects at church (our vicar used to study at drama school) that I'd ever actually gotten encouragement in drama. People compliment me and I have a hard time believing it.

It remined me of a toxic relationship with a friend of mine when you said " all because I finally worked up the courage to say I deserve better." that happened to me. and you are COMPLETLEY RIGHT! love your vids rebecca!!

the question is.. how did she get hired in the first place?

That maniacal laughter part only further proves Becca is a fantastic actress.

My fifth grade teacher was ALWAYS taking a known bullies side over mine even going as far as yelling at me infront of the class

Just realized that Becca's videos are the perfect things to listen to while I draw

“She..didn’t...cast me..because..I..wasn’t popular.” Now your liked by 2.66M people.

She didn't cast you because you weren't popular? What is this, Hollywood?

I always love when people are kind to toxic people “I hope you get better emotionally” it can either make someone feel so bad or genuinely help them

Therapist: Insane Rebecca isn’t real, she can’t hurt you. Insane Rebecca: 7:35

Becca laughing like a maniac. Me: why didn’t you cast her dummy? She’s hell of a great villain

“She didn’t cast me because I wasn’t popular” *looses sanity*

This is definitely a common occurrence I think happens in most schools. That teachers that teach a single subject will ended up finding their favorites and it can easily be shown. For me, IT was the class that I noticed the teacher showing favorites just by his behavior. He would be kind to those who behave as well had a strong knowledge in learning IT but will appear scary and strict to those who didn't or just mucked around.

0:27 Oh my do I get that so much. For years. 8 years I tried so hard and only got three good roles out of like 15 plays. It absolutely crushed me because I thought it wasn’t good enough. You have to understand that sometimes you want to move up to the next level and challenge yourself more. Thankfully now I realize that it isn’t me, it’s just the person more fit for the role.

Medusa: *Is more concerned about the bully than Rebecca* Rebecca’s mom: Your free trial of life has ended.

“I fear no man, but that thing” *someone brave enough to confront Rebecca’s mom* “It scares me”

Good for you! Just found your channel and I love your content already. As an amateur actor myself, the way you spoke of the stage really touched me. That feeling of freedom, being unshacled from the troubles of daily life. I felt that. Love your content, and I'm happy that what you do brings you joy!

1:42 This is so relatble! I once walked up on stage, and I was so amazed, I had found my passion. Youre a queen, love your vids

*She didn’t cast me because I’m not popular* - evil laugh that progresses in intensity -

Becca seems to have a curse of getting crazy teachers

“She didn’t cast me cuz I wasn’t ✨popular ✨ “ *insert manical laughter*

This video makes me so glad I have such an amazing and supportive drama teacher-

Medusa: I'm more concerned about the bully than Rebecca Rebecca's mum: congratulations weasel you've just signed your death warrent

Cast- Llayd..... Jason(?) Dotty..... Shannon(shgurr) Garry.....Adam(SomethingelseYT) Brooke.....Dennise(CypherDen) Freddie.....James(Theodd1sout) Belinda.....Ami(Ami Yamato) Selsdon.....Devon(GingerPale) Poppy.....Jaiden(Jaiden Animations) Tim.....Tim(TimTom) Understudy....Petey(Pikapetey) A lot of references.

In my freshman year of high school I took Theatre Appreciation (I wanted Theatre 1 but the school is stupid so). It was a semester class, and I had a lot of fun! We even got the option to participate in a small 10 ish minute play that I immediately signed up for. Best part was I got to be one of the main villains. I remember that me and my friend (who’s character had 0 lines) were the two people who worked the hardest on that show and to this day I still have all of my lines (plus a few other characters lines) memorized. But on the day of performing that backfired on me because I accidentally said one of the other characters lines at the very beginning instead of my line. I did manage to smooth it over, but I’ll never forget my failure

I had an art teacher like this. Praised me one day, then straight up bullied me the next. By now, I think he projected something onto me... he seemed to think I was arrogant for some reason. I uh... got him fired for telling me to stop crying after my dad died. Screw these types of teachers.

“She didn’t cast me because I wasn’t popular” Should have told her you had a KZfaq channel

The laugh proves that she is a great actor.

1:55 the teacher art is amazing in this one! 😊 Edit:Thx for one like!

I didn't even realize the Kratos reference until rewatching this. Beautiful.

“she..didn’t..cast me..because I wasn’t popular” *COMMITS KIRA LAUGH*

You know that she's evil when she's animated with *red eyes*

I can't be the only one who loves the way she animates, talks, and EVERYTHING ABOUT HER

In highschool, you were shy, socially awkward, and a goodie two shoes? You and I would've been great friends.

"she didnt cast me because im not popular..." *a short wait* *EVIL LAUGHS*

If Medusa over here wants to see what popular _really_ means, she can take a nice, long look at Rebecca's subscriber count & down the bitter brew of defeat.

I've had my fair share of experiences with.... abusive teachers... and let me tell you, I'm honestly proud of you for doing that. I never had a choice, I couldn't drop any classes bc they were all mandatory, and to this day I'm still salty at a few of them and can't bring myself to forgive and forget, despite being in a better place in my life now. so, truly, I admire your strength!

I love how passionate Rebecca sounded when she described how she felt on-stage. That’s how it feels when you find your passion.

"Forced to resign" That just sounds like getting fired with extra steps.

*"She didn't cast me because I wasn't popular"* *LOOK AT ME NOW MEDUSA*

Okay wtf this is my EXACT high school theatre experience, what is it with theatre teachers!! Im so sorry you went through this, im glad your confidence is intact! My story had a happy ending too- i won the chance to be student director, and my show sold more tix than his ever did 😌

Any time I hear a KZfaqr talking about a bad person in their life and they say they hope they’re doing better, I’m like, "they’re just saying that so they don’t get hate"

"She didn't cast me because I wasn't, popular." *proceeds to make the most menical laugh ever*

"Correction: That is a very brave thing to say to MY mother." *cues nuclear bombs*

I was very much type casted in my theatre group. My teacher was extremely emotional, but she liked me a fair amount. Being the only kid who could properly use a diaphragm meant i was always the loud/powerful/evil characters. Maybe it was also just funny to see a little 5’0 teenager on stage yelling at everyone.

I watched this years ago and only now know how painfully true this is, I have a teacher just like this

This teacher has *A LOT* of issues

Shout out to my man Tim for getting the roll of Tim.

Something similar happened to me not too long ago either. My school is doing a production of Cinderella, and for some context, I'm a junior and have been in the past two productions my school has done, those being Annie get your Gun and Strange Days at Summer Camp. Of course the roles are usually given out based on Seniority, but my first role ended up having a lines, meaning my choir director (who directs all the high school productions) had plans for me. During this time she also had a co-director, however she ended up having to step down due to her health and unfortunately passed away a few weeks before casting for Cinderella. Now we have a new co-director, which is important to note. SDASC happens, I get the exact role I wanted for that one, and then we get to Cinderella. I do the audition and make it to callbacks, and everything was going great. All the girls had to sing 'In My Own Little Corner' for auditions, and people complimented me left and right, and I was so confident (probably too confident) and they decided the cast the same night so we didn't have to wait long. Now I knew I wasn't going to be Cinderella, but I really wanted to be the Stepmother anyways. Then we find out the cast and I don't even have a role. Now usually, I wouldn't have cared, I mean you can't make them all, but a certain name was on there I didn't ignore: the co-director's daughter. Now don't get me wrong, the choreographer's daughter was cast as well, but the difference is that she can actually sing and act, the co-director's daughter is not good at singing, she's OK at acting, and it's clear to everyone that nepotism was to play here because the Co-director does this with *everything*, she even tried to make her work on the 7th & 8th yearbook even though she's a sophomore. It was later made clear after the choir director retired and from what the choreographer was saying, the Co-director refused to let anyone else do casting other than herself, and I was furious. The sheer audacity of this woman. And so I quit, I didn't care. Coincidentally, the community players we're holding auditions that weekend and so out of sheer hatred I went to those auditions. I was already thinking about doing community, but never really took it seriously, but this literally pushed me over the edge. I ended up being so much happier with this, I ended up getting a leading role, we had our production over the summer, I even had the confidence to do improv, something I would've never done out of fear of the Co-director getting pissed at me. I actually loved it! Going into the school year I had a choice of either coming back to Cinderella or auditioning for Elf the Musical, and you can imagine what I picked. Cinderella is having its show next week, and I can't wait to see how it turns out, but honestly Elf was the better decision for me.

She should be a actor in a movie

My old high school theater teacher told me : "I didnt cast you as the queen because you're too fat to be a queen" This was after the entire cast actually came to her begging her to rethink the casting decision because the person she casted never learned their lines and never showed up for practice. I didnt even complain. The cast complained and begged her to recast. And she attacked me for it. This fueled my eating disorder even further. So. That's fun.

i think she had bipolar disorder.....it's kind of sad....

When it said “and when I stepped onto a stage” an ad gave me that said “she looks gorgeous!”

Good God, Becca, she sounds exactly like a theater teacher I had back in high school, 1999-2000. With fluffy, wild hair, and favoritism for pretty and popular students.

"Correction, that is a very brave thing to MY mother" *mood*

hey Becca Im a big fan and doing theater your videos help me as tho i put my all in every audition im put in assemble despite wanting a lead thank you for helping me keep some sanity

Im so sorry you had to go through that Miss Becca but im happy that things turned out well for you after getting out of that situation.

“Singing is my therapy” Welp, that explains her needle thing

Anyone else notice on the cast it says James Jaiden Adam Tim

The situation you went through Kairi reminds me of the contortionist by Melanie Martinez which, in my personal opinion, best song of her entire discography, lyrically and production wise(fair warning if you do decide to listen to it, there are bones snapping sound effects that were used for the production so if you’re sensitive to those kinds of sounds beware)

No one is talking about the battle between Becca's mom and Meadusa. Which is a real shame there battle would be legendary

Okay, when Becca started laughing like a supervillain after 7:34, complete with dramatic silhouette, who else was expecting her to actually morph into a supervillain and take her revenge (at least in the video) "Girlfriend Fairy" style? Lol! xD

We love the psycho laugh❤❤ More seriously, I’m glad you-tubers like you teach stories and spread awarness on getting out of toxic relationships

I had a math teacher like this. She always said I could ask her for help but when I did she was always upset at me. And there was one time I really needed her help, for a friend of mine at the time, and she put me down then as well when I needed her most and actually had the confidence to talk to her..

Medusa says your not popular, few years later you're extremely popular.

On the cast list a few names are: Adam James Jaiden Tim Dennise Shannon Ami Hmmmm sounds a bit familiar..

I graduated last week and this woman seems to have the exact same personality as my crazy drama teacher lmao

Never thought this video would be sooo relatable to me 5 yrs later

Highschool kids: "ha we're the shallowest beings on the planet!" Medusa: "hold my snakes"

M.mean E.evil D.devious U.unpredictable S.snake A.awful

I have a teacher like that in college rn. I feel you. Same mood swings and favourits

As someone who was 5’5, I got the role as paper machete monster for my schools traditional play. The guy playing the mc was 6’2. But I got to wear stilts so I was thrilled

Flat out becca has the best villain laugh

Imagine she’s watching this like “frick. She’s popular now.”

MEDUSA "she's UnPoPuLar" WHAT THE HECK THO? you deserved that part

HAPPY 10 years on youtube

I find it fascinating how Becca casually says ‘My *mentally abusive* theatre teacher.’

wow her high school literally sounds like the worst school in the world.

"Tommy! Stop chewing at the scenery!" :DD! In that bullentin board lol

Now I live in au/Australia so I had no theatre stuff but how I found this channel was by watching Robert IDK but I do recommend him he is a cool guy anyway I really appreciate your work Rebecca and you make amazing vids good job

*She is called Medusa cause every student freezes when they look into her eyes*

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Medusa: Talent? What’s that?

Congrats on 4M!!

I love your animations! =)

That is literally the worst teacher I have heard of why would that person not give you a part because your not popular?!

How did James, Adam, Jaiden, Ami, CypherDen & Tim get CASTED but Becca didn’t? 6:08

Now take that, and imagine that it wasn’t just one teacher. It was the director (aka basically the principal) of a private school. Favoritism, gaslighting, belittling, getting HARD ignored, and discriminatory. Oh yeah, that one school I went to was a real hoot.

If this was a science class instead of theater I could see this being your supervillain origin story

6:15 Shannon-Shugrr SomethingelseYT- Adam CypherDen- Dennise TheOddst1sout-James Ami Yamato- Ami JaidenAnimations-Jaiden TimTom-Tim These were all the animators I caught in the cast.

Look who's popular now medusa Edit: thanks for the likes guys
