Seems someone else is now getting a barrage of comments from wannabe starlets: http://www.thedramateacher.com/mary-poppins-to-come-to-australia/ (Hint: read the comments) It's sad that youngsters out there are so used to the internet now ('now'... man, I'm getting old...) that they can't spot the difference between a posted announcement/media release and an advert/casting call. Nor do they seem aware of the likehood of anyone actually caring whether or not they post on some random website; or think "hey, look 50 people who want to audition. I should get their info and have them come in!" ... Sigh... it looks like our work is never done.

It just goes to show how really. It is an example of several things;

  • Lack of understanding
  • High levels of interest
  • Desperation

Problems like this are typical of a "popular" industry, and by that I mean that there are a lot of people trying to get a foot in the door.
