To everyone who "loves acting and REQUIRES an acting job" It might be a good Idea to put some personal information, and a bit of a resume of what shows you have been in, with which company, and who directed it.

For example (using myself):

Instead of: I am 17, I love acting and i need some one to give me a job!!!



Try: Hi, I am a 17 year old from Perth, about 5ft 6 tall, brown hair, brown eyes. Recently I have been in South Pacific (2003) with the Darlington Theatre Players, directed by N. Burton, A Fractured Fairytale (early 2004), also with DTP, written and Directed by L Kirton, On Monday Next (2004) with DTP, directed by G Palmer. Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (2004) with Prompt Corner, and am currently in A Country Wife with Play lovers.

BUT!!!

You still need to be able to act. And be prepared for auditions. No matter how much I wanted to be in Fiddler on the roof, with Roleystone, I didnt get in, because I hadnt prepared enough for the audition. If I had, I believe I would have had a better chance.

Ok, see? This is what I meant. This is exactly what we're trying to discourage.

Although, as Craig said "we've already established that no casting agent is really going to be bothered reading such information on a website posting" the stream of young wannabe's continues.

There are already 3 or 4 threads of this nature in the Classifieds sections, I would like to avoid the same thing happening here in GreenRoom Gossip.
