New Australian Magazine for Performers
Mon, 28 Nov 2005, 11:54 amTALENT MAGAZINE
This is a review of a new Magazine that has been developed for Australian Circulation and deals with Australian Film, Television and Theatre. It is for Actors, Singers, Bands, Producers, Directors and Agents right across the Sun Scorched Continent.
I was fortunate enough to be sent an exclusive copy recently and I have to say, I am impressed beyond words. With a lovely glossy cover, this is not one of your half baked little rag-mags. There has been considerable thought and effort put into the design and layout.
For a first issue, this one is pretty good. You have an interview with Australian Idol Contestant Ricki Lee and MEAA member Jack Thompson, as well as several professional advice columns on topics ranging from Audition Technique through to 'Do I Need An Agent'.
The first issue is out now and the next is scheduled for release around the 23rd of Feb. With enough support, this could easily become the Australian Performers Periodical Bible.
For further details, checkout

or contact the publisher Simon James on

or s-mail
PO Box 5176 GCMC Qld Australia 9726
The mags themselves are $10 each and there are subscriptions available also (althought I do not know how much that costs ... yet) which I will certainly be looking into.
Track down a copy and ecce signum (behold the truth) for youselves.
The humble Thespian,

Re: Talent magazine is searching for ...
Tue, 29 Nov 2005, 12:29 pmHappy to hear that you are so inspired by the magazine.
I completely agree, there needs to be more publications out there for us 'talented' people (although I may not necessarily agree with the way this particular publication).
If you take a look at the American 'Backstage', and the UK 'The Stage Online', you can really see where we are failing in terms of online/hardcopy publications for the theatrical world.
I personally can't stand Stage Whispers, as it is too much aimed at the amateur performer. And since I am a professional techie, it doesn't really thrill me.
Guess that's why I started my own publication...
