me! me! me!
Mon, 29 May 2000, 09:34 pmhey grant thanx 4 the 'fo. i don't need an agent unless i'm getting professional gigs, right? what's the deal with television series & stuff, is anything shot in perth? i think the only television made here is 'maurice meade' hair salon commercials... i don't have the discipline 2 be completely anorexic - i'm normal weight so i can't be a model - but i have the face & height for modeling, hence my interest in its sister profession - acting. i finished high school 2 yrs ago & that was the last time i did any drama. my renewed interest in performing comes from my friend mark naglazas telling me i should pursue it cos i have the looks & personality 4 it, & by my reflection in the mirror! also, i have a great ego & thick skin - 2 prerequisites 4 showbiz. unfortunately there's about 3 billion other wannabes on the planet so i won't be burning my books anytime soon... but it looks like fun & i'd like 2 give it a go. any suggestions on how 2 get started? does amateur stuff get u any exposure?

All hostility aside, it looks like you've obviously come to the wrong place.
The people who frequent this site are serious theatre practitioners (as you've obviously gathered by now). Our interests lie in the CRAFT of theatre. Believe us (and no one is trying to patronise you) there is A LOT more to THEATRE than you realise at this point.
HOWEVER, I believe you said you were more interested in SCREEN than STAGE. There are just as many serious practitioners working in TV as there are on Stage BUT you may find that there is a greater element of the superficial in TV and Film simply because they are catering for the masses.
Kim, it HELPS to have attitude and looks. But it also is a GREAT help if you have the training and experience to back up your statements and bravado. I think the reason you got flamed on this site is because you simply do not know what you are talking about just yet.
Stick with medicine - you'll have a greater chance of financial security. But if you do want to become a performer, listen to the people who know what they're saying (despite the hostility). Most importantly though - go your own way. If you don't want to study, you don't have to. Just remember, there are NO guarantees in this business. You could have the looks, I could have the training, but it all comes down to who 'They' want for the part. And it definately IS often not what you know but who you know.
Careful what you say, Kim. You need as many friends as possible to survive in "Show Biz".

P.S: Thanks for affording us all the opportunity to reflect and 'debate' (ahem) on our own beliefs, values and Motivations (teehee) in regards to The Theatre ;)
