So I'm writing a short and it contains some parts where the actor has to sing. I was wondering if there is a conventional way to show this on paper? (without being too technical with notes etc)
Currently I have this system:
~ Hold note short
~~ Hold note medium
~~~ Hold note long
So I put the lines after the word I want them to hold. But this seems a little simple really, and would rely on a lot of direction on set. I want it to be slightly more obvious on how I want them to sing it. (Without taking away there own creative element of course).
Cheers in advance.
