Re: Should we give up?

Can't help feeling casting is a bit like when you are trying so hard to get pregnant and can't - you stop trying so hard and then IT happens. \:D/ Yikes !! :lol: never thought of that analogy ! Anyone see the fella on BGT who's father changed his uni course to business or IT studies instead of musi...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

but can I admit to being a tad uncomfortable watching little girls singing and performing like adults? Please tell me if I am being too prudish and squeamish, or worrying unnecessarily about what they are doing to their young voices. And then along comes Jack - he had me in stitches, even with his ...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

FINAL - Shame the opera singers Richard and Adam were overshadowed by the stupid behaviour of a female musician who was in the backing orchestra behind them on stage. During their performance she barged through the middle of them pelting eggs from an egg box at Simon C :shock: grinning the whole tim...

Re: Should You Tell Your Agent If...

i've seen casting breakdowns that have been sent to agents, and often they ask that agents only put forward those who meet their breakdown - Agents don't look very professional if they just send anyone...as it wastes casting directors time - and as pg said, agents have a reputation to maintain so go...

Re: which northern agency?

little allstars want us to sign up to them as a sole agency for 3 years :/ which is a long time if they do turn out to be no good!xxX I'd avoid any agency that wanted to sign for 3 years - but its normal for them to stipulate 'sole agency'. Most agents you can just let them know when you want to le...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

I do hope there isn't a backlash about them not being British. With my cynical head on, I do wonder if they are an act that were approached by the production team to enter. However, I for one am glad if they were so that I have had the opportunity to see their beautiful performances. :D they probab...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

It would be a travesty if DW was ousted - he can be very funny, winding Simon C up, he does go a weeeeee bit too cringeworthingly far at times, and SC walked off on ITV2 show last night, as DW went a bit too far with the 'Camping Holiday' story , and following SC off and out clutching his shoulders ...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

I missed seeing the dancer, Joseph, so no idea what he was like - but I was surprised the singer, the lady,didn't make the top three ! Surprised Simon put it to the public vote because the acts were so different, would have thought he could have made a decision - but fairer that way...and the dance ...

Re: University Courses w/o UCAS

not all of BA Acting and MT courses at the top drama schools can be applied for via UCAS system,those where you can are because they are attached to Universities, or they have BA courses at actual Universities. You can apply to LIPA and CSSD for example via UCAS, as they are part of Liverpool Univer...

Re: BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2013

I really liked the two young irish boys, the singer had such a lovely voice - shame they didn't get through - but perhaps they'll get in on the wild card I also like Meat Diva - the guy was brilliant singer, and sang Meat Loaf so well ! The comedian Jack was so good, natural, and his jokes were funn...
