hey 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?
anyone know how far away melville is from the city center? which is closer 2 the city - kalamunda or melville? (don't know south of the river well).
thanx kids

My what a charming bedside manner you have there Kim. I certainly hope you are better with your patients diagnosis than you are at summing up the theatre industry.

I think you fail to identify the REAL reasons people go into community theatre.
TO HAVE FUN - or have you forgotten what that is with the stresses of your "real course".
It is all about having a go and doing something we may not normally do.
And yes people do hone their 'natural talents' or 'learned skills' in community theatre and then have the opportunity to take these improved skills into the professional arena.

Why don't you go into surgery - maybe that kind of theatre will suit you better.
