I'm referring to questions like How to make an actor cry.
The audio equivalent would be "How do I get a vocalist to have that voice-cracking sad sound?", which would be off-topic here and on-topic at Musical Practice and Performance.
This is very different than asking about how to add tears digitally or something like that. The audio equivalent of that question, "What effects can I use to make a song sound sad", probably would be on-topic here.
Now this would be pretty clear to me except for that fact that while updating the FAQ for the video merger Robert also removed the section stating that musical performance questions were off-topic, so I'm confused about audio performance questions as well as video.
So I guess my question has multiple parts:
- Are music performance questions on topic?
- Are "video performance" (acting) questions on topic?
- If the answers to questions 1 and 2 are different, why the inconsistency?
And if that's still not clear, here's a graphical representation of my question:
