I have a feeling this is going to be one of the longest threads ever....

With loads of 'Wannabees' complaining that they have to pay !!!

Guys! You wanna prove yourselfs? PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!!!

Takes money to make money yah know?

Ha ha yeah..?150 is a bit steep!!! Producers should moan about that too then.

Next time I pay out on a shoot, I'll say that. Thing is I pay much more than that so it gives me the license to bitch like fuck!

The way I see it, if no one or not enough blokes respond to this event the idea will be done away with unless it is adopted by the agencies.

I can tell you a couple more established performers paid a lot more than that to be where they are today.

At least UKAP gave everyone a chance. Its up to you to make this happen. In fact a lot of producers reckon it wont happen. So if anyone asks how we can get them into the business, they should be prepared for the wall of silence and difficulty getting into it.

If you are really serious about this then we will take you seriously. Otherwise, life just goes on the way it has.

I've sent an email to Walpole and hope I get a response sometime soon.

?150 might sounds a lot but when put in perspective of a normal job interview, it's the same cost as buying a new suit, getting a hair cut, etc.

Will performers get a show real at the end for their use only?

I think some people might be worried they will be paying for something which will in turn be sold onto TVX or something similar.

Hope to hear back soon

Thats right ?150 is a spit in the ocean to all the days, weeks,months even years it takes to get noticed in the industry. I did have a guy in mind myself to send to the auditions but he is happy shooting movies for us for nothing at the moment, we won't to afford him for long once the industry find so maybe next year.

The amateur scene is where some of the best talent have come from Kim.

Its where they have served their apprenticeship. Fuck for fun first then when you know you can do it you can do it for profit.
