Abacus auditions

[Coco]

Yes I would certainly give it a go. Nothing ventured nothing gained ! Speaking of nothing gained tho, we still haven't heard back from my dds audition !
Have you had any news yet Balletmad ?

[balletmad]

HI Coco, Noooo i havent heard anything yet, i am guessing that by now the answer will be no, but hey ho!!
dd said there were some seriously talented peeps at the audition , so we are just thinking that it was a good experience for her and she now has some idea of what is expected for future auditions. Do you know much about alphabet kidz are they very good???

Not been on here for a while.........DS went on 26th too ..........just had email from Abacus to offer him a place !! Amazed - he was so shattered that day !
Hooray for adrenelin

Hi balletmad, I don't know anything about alphabet kids, although I don't claim to be an authority on agencies ! I have heard that A&J are very good though. We actually had an audition with them a few months ago, but my dd had a sore throat virus, so we couldn't go. Then we saw that one of the ladies who ran it, had passed away and I didn't know if the agency was open, so I thought i might be better not to bother them for a while. I have the impression,( correct me if I'm wrong guys) that they are about on a par with Abacus. I'm keeping my fingers crossed still though for everyone still waiting !!

[Coco]

Well done to your boy musical genes ! There were some very talented kids there and clearly he was one of them !

[musical genes]

does anybody know if Abacus take kids on from north east or is it more Southern.

Hi Barney
If you have a look at the home page of the website, it mentions where most of their actors are located. They don't mention anyone as far as the north east but may be worth emailing them to enquire.

Thanks fudge, will do that.

I knew there was junk mail on a computer, but I have just discovered something called 'spam'. My previous knowledge of spam was of that dubious reformed cold meat which was a frequent and most unwelcome filling in virtually any sandwich i was presented with during my childhood. (So frequent in fact that I didn't know sandwiches could be made of anything else until i was about ten ! ) Today howeve,r my husband informed me that the email from Abacus I had been waiting for was in 'spam'! If only he had of mentioned this before, I could have saved myself a few days of fruitlessly checking every half an hour. She's one happy girl today !

Hey Coco, Huge congrats to you and your dd . i had email and dd never got in but hey ho onwards and upwards You must be soooo pleased

[janine]

Sorry Balletmad, its frustrating waiting only to get a no, but maybe a different agency is the answer for her!! Huge congratulations to your daughter Coco , she has done so well, you must be very very proud. And thanks for making me laugh with your last post, thought it was only my husband who consistently 'forgets' to give me the correct or indeed any information.... MEN..... Huh!!!!

[Coco]

Thanks balletmad, I sorry that your dd wasn't accepted this time. Are you going to try A&J management ? They're supposed to be very good, and they seem to audition alot more frequently too ! I think it probably went in my dd's favour that she is soon to be sixteen and so won't need a licence !

[Coco]

Thanks Janine, glad my dh isn't the only one from planet irritating !
