Re: Spirit or Stagebox ?

Re: Spirit or Stagebox ?

If we had lived a commutable distance we would have joined Spirit as opposed to Stagebox. However we dont, so did the one off workshops, there was no audition for the solos, in our experience. The majority of the solos were already sorted and the regulars already knew them, though I do know of one s...

Re: Spirit or Stagebox ?

We dont live in London but have done couple of videos with Spirit, only a few non regulars in them. In our experience they are excellent performing opportunities however, my dd and other non regulars never had a solo. All solos were always from exisiting Spirit regulars. I was disappointed to make t...

Re: Help RE:School being difficult

Have you had a meeting with the Head face to face? Do you live near London as most auditions are after school. We live over 3 hours away from London - and Head was fine once I had assured Dd's Head that Dd would not be going back and for to London, and missing full days of schooling for any 'ad hoc'...

Re: Mental health in performing arts

Paulears - No. With respect I absolutely disagree. So much talent is so very sensitive, (and this does not make them weak!) and their confidence may be easily destroyed by 'stronger personalities' who may be 'more robust' but often less talented - being insensitive and accepting of disrespectful co...

Re: Casting Agents for Teens

Dd is almost 15 - still has an agent. Has professional stage, tv and TVC experience. Though as she is now very quiet professionally, is now concentrating on training ready for college. We do still use Starnow and KCCP a bit - Dd does still get the odd offer through these sites so might be an option ...

Go for it with gusto - as long as your boy feels ok to do so - they must see something special, well done to your young man for staying in the game, has to be worth a shot x

Re: Is this commonplace ?!

Dd will be applying for Colleges, possibly next year - and although she has danced since she was 6 - she is definitely above the 'normal weight' well, she is a size 12 to 14 and 5 feet 2. Once puberty kicked in it happened all of a sudden - I was so very worried, I thought it would limit her, in her...

Re: The Voice Kids

They sent us an email - last year London Recalls were October Half Term? Emails for the no's went out quite quickly from end of September - we were one of the last to get one so every day that went by, where we didn't get the no, we were quite hopeful - but we did get the no email eventually. Good L...

Re: The Voice Kids

Good Luck all - daughter got through to researchers last year. The feedback from 3rd round was amazing - almost an hour afterwards with researchers, phone calls, passports etc, so I was a little bit surprised when she didn't get through to London recall. Haha! we are used to auditions but this one d...
