A question...

What? How is that going to improve the quality of the Australian industry? And how am I realistically supposed to do that? Yes, of course there are a lot of drop-outs. But this has in part to do with the rise of reality TV and the lack of guts from local programmers. I am not a programmer. I have not worked in TV or film. I certainly can't influence anyone over that. And as for educating people... that's part of what I have been doing on the site. Hell, I'm usually the one who posts to all the zillion and one threads of 'how do I'. Forgive me for being abrasive, but again, this is not a suggestion I can implement. It's more of a complaint about the industry. Yes, let's educate the young/emerging ones. But part of the lack of education out there comes from the fact that the industry is so inclusive. I recently made a comment on this site about the lack of mentorship opportunities - perhaps this is what we could do? Or do you have anything specific in mind that would encourage more educated actors out there? (And here I must point out, I want to do something not just for actors. There are plenty of technical issues out there too) Sticky Apple Legs www.freewebs.com/stickyapplelegs Puppets in Melbourne www.thepromptcopy.com/pip
