A question...
Mon, 14 May 2007, 08:01 amI'm quite bored at the moment and need a new project. I was wondering whether anyone out there has any ideas for something *big* for the industry.
I was thinking:
An independent reviewing/awards system - akin to the Green Room awards, or something.
Or
An online video competition - like stuff you see on Youtube, but more for the local talent in Australia.
Anyone got any comments, ideas, thoughts... I'm willing to put in the admin time, but would love to collaborate with anyone out there who is willing.
Okay then how about

Okay then how about this:
Find a way to educate the public about the amount of work involved in becoming a recognised actor.
90% of 'actors' (from personal experience, and I might point out I am being highly conservative) drop out of courses and/or cease studying. But if you talk the talk, you damn well better walk the walk.
Case in point:
"I want to be an actor"
What they really mean:
"I want the benefits of being a recognised actor without putting the 4,5,6,7+ years of intense study, training and industry experience that's required"
