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.

Don't do the work, won't

Don't do the work, won't get the results. After a while of seemingly getting no results... -- Hey! (lightbulb goes off) ...I might do some actual work on this. (lightbulb goes off again, same one) I might start by organizing all these files I've copied off "Google University" - have a regular Google encyclopedia at arms-length reach and a kind of directional map of FAQs and ways of doing and trying things. The right way, or the way in which I will have some actual, sophisticated engagement with the industry I'm courting for myself as an aspiring young actress, or as a mum who wants her little darling on the stage for the world to see. Good start! Next: Critical thinking classes... (Do they run those anymore at Day college, i.e. TAFE?) Wait! Who needs classes? Classes come with learning and I hate school. Just show me the damn money, for Pete's sake. Here we go...what's this I've found...? A book. It's title: 'How to get on stage, get famous, and make a shitload of money in the process'. It's subtitle: All your questions on the entertainment industry answered in a handy and easy-to-follow indexed format. It's author: T.A. Regulars. -- I think I see a possible money-making opportunity, folks. Nah... I got out of the used-car industry ages ago. Huckster International Corp. - didn't feel I had the right material to make it in the industry, either. Never mind, someone out there might give it a go to help these poor individuals. The above in following-on: A tad roundabout in scope, I know. Cheers, Daniel.
