I'm sorry I thought when you posted this that is what it was about.
"If the Tonys wanted to show people in theater schools or high schools about professional actors/singer/dancers, they might want to take some documentary footage of the Equity audition center / Ripley-Greer, etc. to show an Equity call vs. an open call; they could show an agent's office and/or casting office with desks and files piled with pictures/resumes. But of course, reality isn't particularly glamorous. Schools are in business -- and discouraging people by focusing on difficulties and the competition is not necessarily done too often. The performers who stick it out, with talent, training and persistence especially have a better chance of it, unless in additions to those traits you're lucky and/or have great connections early on. It's easier to focus on dreams and hopes (not that those aren't valid, too.)" |
