In light of boulevards of broken dreams and worthless receipts, is it feasible or warranted for this site to provide an area where actors can post a jpeg photo and a three line biog, with contact details?

To pay or not to pay...

I have been keeping a close check on the poll results and have seen that the number of people who would like a Bio area are quite significant.

So far, 80 participants have replied (low numbers in my opinion). Even so, a total of 49 have stated "Yes" (61%).
25% of all participants (41% of Yes Votes) have stated that costs could discourage them while 22.5% (37%) have claimed that cost is not important.
However, 13.75% (22.5%) are directors who would obviously be looking for cast members. Considering the small sample so far, this is pretty significant a result and I would suggest to actors out there that if there are a significant number of directors out there that use this site, then it would pay to invest in a service as is being suggested. Ecce signum. If some are using the site already, then more are likely to do so if such a service existed, don't you think?

Also, do not forget that this site reaches across to globe, not just the states of Australia. Out of many web sites I know of that promote Actors and Theatre, very few have penetrated as far as this site. For an organisation and site that run off the smell of an oily rag, it is a very successful site.

Carpe diem.
