Hi all, this journey for our dd and me as a mum has been a rollercoaster, from getting into a school ( all those auditions! ) to surviving a degree during Covid! It’s been really tough for my dd but we have had a happy ending considering everything, very lucky. My dd worked so hard to be where she is and like you all with your children I’m very proud. How have you found the ride?

Hello!
My DD graduated from Millennium in London last year. She was lucky enough to get an agent through the agents going to the college.(Just as well, as the agent showcase in person didn't happen) She was offered a cruise contract before she graduated, started rehearsals and then 2 weeks in, it all ground to a halt. She has been working as a carer for the past year but has had the call to go back down to Southampton to start rehearsals again, so fingers crossed! She was one of the lucky ones as so many of the 2020 cohort didn't manage to get agents/jobs. Hopefully things start picking up for them all again soon!

Oh my that must have been devastating at the time. I’m so glad she has been called back. My daughter would love,love, love to get a cruise contract. Everything crossed for your dd!

I saw on Facebook that Fred Olsen Cruise Liners are holding auditions in London at beginning of September. I think it was being advertised by Pop Up Entertainment Ltd .

So dd has moved from Chester to London eek! Though she still needs a permanent place to live before her MA starts in October.

She had two agent offers, she decided to do the agent showcase (others who were planning further study declined) to keep her options open but she was upfront with agents about not wanting to apply for performing jobs that would prevent her starting her MA. I personally feel that she chose the wrong agent as I feel the other one appears to have more opportunities but it was her decision.

Exciting for her!!! The agent thing is stressful, but as my dd says you don’t have to stay with them forever if you feel it’s not working xx We are just waiting now to see if any auditions come through her agent. Everything crossed!

Where is your DD based Marissa? I think a lot of them have to take the plunge to move towards London, as if an audition comes through, it is often with very little warning!!

South Wales!!! It’s her plan to move closer to London sooner or later. But she has a few other bases and is quite prepared to travel so touchwood. Just a waiting game.
