Hi my name is -------. I'm 12 years old and i live in Melbourne. I have blond hair and green eyes. I'm looking for a TV or movie part not for money but for experience. lately at my school i was awarded Best Actress in a Supporting Role and have been in many school plays. I know i might not sound like the best option because i don't have that much experience but please if you give me a go i won't let you down! Please contact me at ---------- or on my mobile --------- (weekends or 12.35pm - 1pm and 4pm - 9pm weekdays only thanks) Thank You p.s i'm not the sensetive type so if you take me i won't be offended if you don't want me once you meet me.

I know what you mean. I am concerned over two major issues. One/ many of these young people put personal mobile phones numbers and e-mail addresses on this site. This makes them vulnerable for two reasons first they do not understand how the industry really works so can easily fall for the unscrupulous line and second they are so enthusiastic they tend to react without thought. The second issue is that they all also seem to suffer from the reward without work syndrome. Mietta for example seems to want to jump straight to the audition stage for major productions without doing any of the hard work that we all know is required. Sure luck plays a part and some notable figures have acheived much from a sheer luck start, Johnny Depp and Bob Hoskin come to mind but this is very rare. Even all the training and networking simply gives you a slightly improved chance to be lucky really. For every Hugh Jackman that makes it an equally talented person never attracts the right attention and struggles for the rest of their life. I think we need to keep giving these young people the best advice we can and hope that it sinks in. Maybe we will see them on the big screen one day. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
