By far the largest response is 'from this website'...although not so surprising when the poll is only for people who visit this website! Still, it's obviously a big and important part of the site.

Club newsletters, added by request, didn't get such a huge number of votes...but remember the poll asked for the MAIN way you learn of auditions, and doesn't cater for 2nd preferences...many people probably hear about auditions from a multiple of sources.

Posting your details and saying 'I luv acting' is one of the more popular ways among naive teenagers, and surprisingly scored a few votes. Just goes to show that if you post a smart-arse option, expect to get smart-arse responses!


Perhaps this poll topic has given readers a few new ideas as to how to sound out auditions. For most community theatre auditions, look no further than here.
