Re: how long?

How long is a piece of string! We've had all different. Cast on Thursday and straight to confirmed on the Tuesday. Recalled then pencilled and licensing started within a day and then confirmed 4 days later. Most of our pencils/recalls have come in anything from next day to a week later. The waiting ...

Re: Tutoring/Chaperones

Your person responsible for licensing at your local council should be able to put you in touch with agencies that book chaperones in your area. There is a website called Creative England where you can register yourself as a chaperone looking for work. Jam2000 are often looking for chaperone/tutors. ...

Re: The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara

My DS was seen in June. A few days before his 7th birthday. Apparently Spielberg has been quoted saying he is looking for "magic" and has turned down all suggestions so far!

Re: Pencilling

Heavy pencil means it is more likely but still not guaranteed. We had one TVC where DS cast on the Thursday and was confirmed on the Monday so we either skipped the pencil stage or agent didn't tell us! In fairness they always do so I think it was straight to confirmed. Our experience of TV pencil w...

Re: Pencilling

Bane of my life these things!! DS2 has been pencilled 4 times recently and not one has been confirmed. I think it depends on the job but we usually get pencilled and then asked to recall. Each one has been different, couple of times only a few boys similar to him and other times a rooom full of diff...

All of them did modern dramatic monologues. Have a look at the Oberon acting anthologies edited by Catherine Wheate. There is also a ...

Re: Ideas needed for audition song

I know this may sound crazy but what about "Bare Necessities"? Had a student some years back who sang this (he was a non singer), it brought the house down and he got a place at Central. Not saying that's what won it for him but it obviously didn't hurt!

Dates on Spotlight

Wonder if anyone can advise please. My ds's have just filmed roles in a tv series that will air in 2017. I'm updating their Spotlight CV's to add this but not sure if to put 2016 as the year as this is when they filmed it or 2017 as that is when the series will air? What do people do in this situati...
