New Link?
Sun, 13 June 2004, 12:30 pmHi folks,
Here's a thought toward the possibility of tidying up these message boards.
Could we create a high impact banner on the front page declaring
"Click here to read lots of really sensible and informative previous answers to enquiries from vastly talented teenagers who want to know how to become a star because they they rilly rilly want 2 b in theatre and their friends think they are just brilliant and they are willing to do anything".
I apologise to the young people concerned, if I seem rude but, hey guys and girls... Reality check!!
Do these kids seriously think there are hordes of Directors and casting agents giving themselves ulcers wondering where on earth they are going to find a talented youngster?
Every city is rife with accredited training organisations, Youth Theatre groups, Drama/Dance/Talent schools etc.
If the agents want talent, they know where to look, and they are not going to be the least bit influenced by the hopeful, but really somewhat pathetic and wasteful, posts in this forum.
If you have talent and desire to succeed, nobody begrudges you your dreams; but unless you get out and join things, do things, build your skills and contact networks, be seen and be 'in the scene' - then you are "dreaming", as opposed to "pursuing a dream".
I truly wish you all the luck you deserve, but in this game that tends to be all the luck one earns. Lady Luck doesn't do blind dates in this industry. She has to be courted and wooed, a relationship built with her. Simply advertising your availability in the personal colums is not the way into her little black book of hot dates.
Truly no offense intended,
Jonno.
Thou tottering fly-bitten canker-blossom!
