<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Scott,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We KNOW that this is a free audition, and we KNOW
that not everyone gets accepted. We also KNOW that if we do get excepted
and we WANT to go to Florida, we have to pay big time. Your long list
of experience does not change that fact. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are plenty of free ways we here in Cleveland
can get experience and paying jobs, especially now that NEHST Film Studios will
be moving here (also free of charge thanks to the convention center) to start
producing movies in town. They also just held a free audition and will be
handing out JOBS, not "opportunities," "showcases" or "development." We
have three great local modeling and talent agencies that represent us FOR
FREE and don't make money unless we make money. They don't accept everyone
either. We have many national casting directors we can submit ourselves to for
free. We have TONS of professional and regional theatres at which to gain
experience. We have tons of bands and music agencies that hire singers and
musicians for real work and weekly jobs. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know because I've done all these things myself,
AND I auditioned for a situation such as yours many years ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Neohiopal is full of professionals that know
better. You might want to try Craigs List.</FONT></DIV>

Everyone,<BR>My name is Scott Cooper and I am the owner of Wilhelmina/Evolution
Agency. <BR>?I am also the Executive Director of "The Talent International
Network <BR>Company." ?I understand that there are a lot of concerns about the
auditions that <BR>I am holding in Ohio this weekend. I understand
these concerns as anyone <BR>in the entertainment business has to be a good
consumer and see what each <BR>company has to offer. ?Our program is not open to
everyone that auditions. ?We <BR>scout talent nationally and choose under 150
people across the US to <BR>participate in our program. That is the maximum
number of people that will go to <BR>the Orlando convention in total and it is
only those 150 who will be seen by <BR>the agents, managers and casting
directors that we bring in....<BR><BR>[blah blah blah blah me me me
