Is anyone auditioning for Amigo Films in 2008?

Pat, feel free to download my list of links: http://www.thepromptcopy.com/pip/theatrelinks.htm There's a whole bunch of links listed in the 'job hunting' category, divided by state. Those that are in the 'job hunting' category, but not divided by state, cover the whole country. There's also a small list of agents, plus a lot of unsorted links. I can recommend the following sites for both cities: Arts Hub Australia, QuietOnSet (both paid subscription, but well worth the money). These are probably the best two sites for job hunting. Arts Connect is another good one, which is more for calls for artists (ie. voluntary stuff), but it's for free. The Program is a government run site, which doesn't often has auditions, but is aimed at youth, and is an excellent resource for grants, funding, and other events. In the list is also some good forum sites for actors, some agents, and a whole bunch of companies around the country. Many of the professional companies advertise roles on their own sites as well, so even though it's time consuming to go through them, you will find it's a much more affordable way of finding news of jobs. You should also sign up with the many free online newsletters that are around, or regularly read arts/theatre/screen news sites. They are a wealth of information, and if you find out that a show is being produced, or someone's gotten a grant, you can then consider contacting the relevant people and seeing if there's any auditions going. For the most part, auditions aren't advertised, so your best bet is to get an agent. However, the sites listed above will help you to do your own search. Please note: the links do NOT cover amateur groups, only professional companies, and only for theatre. For a screen auditions site, try Screen Hub. For amateur auditions, check the auditions page on this site, or contact the companies listed here in the VIC/NSW area. You might also want to try the usual 'schmoozing' concept: most jobs aren't actually advertised, and the tried and true method of just chatting to people will also work. If you do a bit of all of the above, plus look at getting an agent, you'll cover your bases a lot more. Additionally, Melbourne's a really fringe theatre scene, so you can always get involved in smaller groups that are around. Come Fringe festival and Comedy festival times, there's always heaps of opportunities to be involved. Sometimes it's a good idea to do some voluntary tech work (ie. FOH) during festivals, which is an excellent chance to see shows for free, meet other performers, and get to know some of the important players in the industry.
