Re: Why can't CDs let us know?

some commercial auditions do pay a small fee - i have no idea how this could be enforced, but i wish they all had to - at least we'd get our travel costs covered - master p saves his surplus towards concert tickets, which keeps him happier!

Re: Is This Usual?

um - it might not be usual - but disorganisation and being messed about like this is certainly par for the course hopefully your agent understands that neither you nor your offspring can drop everything and go to an audition (remember adults often can, and cd's can forget that kids - and their paren...

Re: Whatever happened to tap?

master m is considering urdang youth classes - one sunday a month, which would fit smoothly into his timetable

is tap considered a poor relation these days

Re: Foundation course....?

i'd love to read what pg and paulears have to say on this, but we have been told more than once in the past that the main problem with doing a degree for a woman is that you need to be young - parts can dry up very quickly at 28-ish until you reach matron status - unless you are firmly established b...
