The Audition Trail Continues..............

 They do say auditions are like buses. Nothing happens then two come along. Well, went today to Liverpool for a sitcom pilot audition. I'd like to say I'm uber confident but the truth is you can't help but look at listen to your rivals who seem far more confident and capable than you. Would love the part but so did the many others who attended too.

I've had an email asking me to audition for film next year to premiere in Manchester -not till April (the audition) a record in terms of notice!!  Interestingly both are comedies......hmm

U.K Reality Shows versus U.S Reality Shows

Was contemplating the U.K v the U.S reality market. What makes U.K participants so different from our U.S counterparts?  There's a common misconception that people from the U.K are more reserved. Clearly you only have to watch Big Brother or Wife Swap to see that's not the case. Is perhaps that the competition and maybe the prize are greater and therefore aspiring wannabees need to 'be out there' in terms of their behaviour?

I read the audition posts for U.S shows and I've read more than once that you need to show you stand out from the rest. Does that mean you over exaggerate your personality traits to get the job. Are you actually being yourself or is too tempting to be someone you are not to be cast?

Would you be someone you are not to get onto to one of these shows?....

Hot from the U.S 'Rent A Friend'

Feeling internet search orientated this morning I stumbled on a website called 'Rentafriend'. The place to find a friend for an activity at a cost ranging from £6.50 per hour upwards. It states purely friendship and nothing else.

I guess if you are new to an area and want to make friends it's an option as long as you know the person is  operating a business friendship. Other options of course include joining a group and meeting friends that way. AmDram, sports etc.

For the business savvy it's an option for an income stream but I question those that are lonely and vulnerable hiring a friend..........................

What do you think?
