Hi Guys

Well, I have just finished going through all the applications for the Presenters and Talented Kids Representation.

We have so many talented, and hard working people out there, I look forward to helping you guys along.

I have spoken to lots of parents and people and will be emailing all who have been successful next week.
I have a meeting on Tues and then Thursday with some industry players and will be finalising details then.

You will be hearing from me soon.

"SPEAKING AMERICAN" Training CD and BOOK.
Available now at the QOS BOOKSTORE!

It is an important tool for actors to have an American Accent. The Aus Dollar v the US dollar is in a good position for US productions to come back out and film here. Be prepared, have your accent up to scratch. You can do a course, there is one listed in NSW Courses this week for $400. Nothing like attending class, however if that is out of your budget, you can purchase the Speaking American Book from our bookstore, it has a CD that you can listen to and practice with.
Not a bad option, there are ways to get training that suit everyone.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers
Lee
