For all people who want to act

I've seen this site a couple of times, and I'd just like to make a comment.

Whether you want to believe it or not, I'm a successful actor.

Everyone here who's asking for a role: Stop!

Everybody who looks at your messages are just kids - there's no casting directors or agents out there looking at your messages.

Believe me; you're not going to get any work by posting here.

Go to any theatre you've heard of, and do lots and lots of shows.

Submit a resume to every theatre you know of, and make yourself known!

The truth is: 99% of all actors actually get paid/professional work.

It's unfortunately the truth, even it is sad.

But if you believe in yourselves, and you really believe you have what it takes, then go for it.

I only meant to say that it irritates some people. I come onto this site because it's one of the only Australian theatre sites, and has a lot of useful information - for both jobs and other areas. I search everything I can to find information for my friends and colleagues, as I run a weekly newsletter for them, and there is a lot of important information that is getting drowned. I try to help emerging artists, and I was merely pointing out that there should be a place on this site for emerging artists to go to where all the questions are answered. Many people ask the same questions, and it would save everybody's time if it were answered in one place.

Having said that, I do think that the discussions on this site are necessary, important and oh so valuable.
