Actors Biogs

For the sake of discussion....

Is Perth's acting community really that big enough to justify having a central actors database online?

Surely if a director wanted to hold an audition for a show, every actor in perth would hear about it by contacting the agents and posting an audition notice on this website.

There would be no more than 1-3 degrees of separation between every director and actor here in perth, which means word of mouth would work quite effectively.

And the point about paying for a service - surely Showcast and our own homegrown CASTING BOOK (which Annie Murtagh-Monks has been plugging for every local actor to join) will be able enough coverage for our local actors?

If an audition notice is posted well in advance most actors would know about it and it would be up to them to decide whether they want to audition.

I must admit that I only skimmed through the previous postings so if i've already reiterated someone else's posting....I apologise. If i've missed the whole point of the original discussion - I apologise also.
