Auditions
Lots of posts stacked up over Heathrow at the moment, like one about LugRadio Live USA, but for now I just have one bit of news. This morning, Niamh, my daughter, went to an audition to join the Stagecoach Talent Agency, and she was hugely successful. So successful, in fact, that they’re already putting her forward for an audition for a part on CBeebies, the children’s TV channel in the UK.
It is possible that I may burst with pride.
Fifteen years from now when she wins the Best Actress Oscar, I can look back and say “this is where it started”. CeCe Bloom, eat your heart out.
So proud. They said she was excellent.
Excellent :) Can’t wait for this sort of stuff to start happening with Mira.

Nice one Niamh Katherine :)
Tell her I said congratulations - or I might send a present to say so via you, if that’s okay?

I don’t mean to put out your heat source by urinating, but these guys are known for building up hopes, then charging circa 200 pounds to show the hope to the world + whatever they can get for tuition untill the once a year talent showcase book is released.
I am not saying they cannot see talent, but a agency that takes from actual work rather than the hope of, is better.

Please don’t let this dim hopes, I am sure your daughter is specal and talented. But be wary of up front costs.

Spotlight costs 80′ish quid to join, so i’d do that yourself and get a decent national agent

How old is she? Anyone acting under 16 is just being exploited.

Just echo’ing Mr Ben, I am looking forward for my daughter Niamh to start getting into this stuff.
How are Stagecoach as a theatre arts school? I have heard mixed reviews of them?

port7: they seem pretty good to me, although I’m a bit short of a basis for comparison :)

I whole host of my daughter’s ballet colleagues left for Stagecoach, only to return the next term. Not sure of the reasons why but they obviously weren’t impressed by them.
Although thinking about it, it must have been a different stagecoach, cos I don’t think it was an talent agency, more of a school of performance or something.
So, in summary, I don’t know nothing. Ask me about my son’s footballing career. I’m the expert on that. :)

Paul: Stagecoach is a performance school, indeed, but it has an agency attached, which is it. Stagecoach is a sort of franchise affair — there are lots of them all over the place, so one may be a lot different to another.
