I am from Darwin and have appeared in a Government Commercial here. I have also done a couple of short stage appearences and a NIDA short course. I have been a guest speaker on many occasions and enjoy public speaking. I am moving to Melbourne and was wondering who i talk to about auditing for commercials, movie extra or tv presentation. Also what are the best TV presenters courses in Melb?

Go to auditions, and it's always helpful to have an agent find auditions that best fit you.

Contact management companies that handle speakers and ask them to represent you. They may ask you to show them samples of your work (e.g. video of you speaking)\n\nhttp://www.charlijane.com/info_representation.htm\nhttp://www.allamericanspeakers.com\nhttp://www.eaglestalent.com\nhttp://www.akilaworksongs.com/speakersbureau.html\nhttp://www.conventionconnection.net/\nhttp://www.dynamicspeakers.com/

I'm not sure about Melbourne but James Cook University has an external pre-RN course.  This is funny because my best friend has just moved to NZ to do her RN's over there. I have put a link in the source section.  Good luck with it all welcome to nursing.  I am a registered nurse.

Oh My My, someone is really bugged! Anyways pal the answer is that Australia is a part of the Organisation of Commonwealth countries and it bid for it and the council ( of Commonwealth) awarded the games to Melborne. By the way these games are always money spinners for the host city. So cheers!

I am sure that you have a film office there.  Check on their web site and it should show links to reputable agencies.  Here in the USA I belong to a organization that promotes film in our state and we have members that are in casting and are talent agents.  Extras are usually hired when a film is coming to an area and a "cattle call" is issued.  That means the newspapers and television stations will let people know where to go to sign up.  I helped with some extra casting for several movies including the film "Radio".  I hope this is what your son wants because you must have alot of patience.  It's always alot of "hurry up and wait".  Good luck.  To find your film office I can only link you through a US site.  Go to www.carolinafilm.com.  Scroll down and on the left hand side you will see links.  Click on that. Go to AFCI (International Film Offices).  Then take it from there to find the correct one for you.  Sorry I didn't think about that earlier.

I'd love to come to Oz. I think it's a bit exy for the tickets though. All the Aussies I've known have been good cobbers (and good fun)!! I've used "No worries" for years here in California. What a great phrase!!\n\nI'd check out the vejjo food joints. My husband would probably surf and dodge sharks. Luckily he's not a shark bisquit.\n\nThanks for the invite!!

I can't help with the quote, but...\n\nQuotas on broadcasting like what you've described are really nothing more than a crude form of protectionism.  Normally, when an economist talks about protectionism, he's thinking of trade barriers for foods or industrial products.  Here, however, a law has apparently been created to limit the opportunity for TV stations in Australia to import more than a certain percentage of foreign TV shows for broadcast.  In essence, this provides the same outcome as any other form of trade barriers.\n\nTrade barriers affect an economy in a few ways.  First, they may reduce the opportunity of the country's citizens to access the best possible products.  If indeed the products produced locally are not as high quality (or more expensive for the same quality), then the local buyers are paying more for less.  Furthermore, protections coddle the local industry, and cushion it from the need to compete.  This allows the local industry to continue to operate without keeping up with the highest standards of quality.  It safeguards its ability to deteriorate without penalty.  Finally, protectionism tends to be reciprocal.  If one nation restricts the entry of foreign goods, the nation facing the restrictions may retaliate with restrictions of its own, leading to a trade war.  While this last scenario may seem less likely in the case of TV programming, I'm not sure.  Perhaps another nation would be more likely to restrict Australian programming in their markets if they knew Australia was restricting their programming in Australia.  \n\nHope that helps.

I think except for state of the art universities like Sydney and Melbourne, the rest are more or less the same. \n\nHaving said that, I think what is important is for you to find out how they conduct the courses. For example, I know some universities in the west that only offer the bare minimum in what they teach. After that, they waste your precious time doing useless assignments. These assignments do not help you in studying for your final exams. \n\nSo you waste time in your assignments and you also cannot find time to study for the exams. You also didn't learn much from lectures as they taught only the bare minimum.\n\nI think what is more important is for you to find out how their courses are structured. Is the way they teach suitable for you? Will they teach you enough?\n\nI think you should ask IDP Australia. They are in charge of helping students who wanted to study in Australia. They will also help you in getting your visa.\n\nLife in Australia is generally okay. I notice many non White students tend to stick to themselves. Don't be like that. Mix around with everybody. Mix around with the Caucasions. Don't be afraid of them. They are okay.

How much would you charge in order to access the database or have membership to this site? Is it free?\n\nMost people who would want telecommuting jobs are wary of SCAMS online.  What assurances will this site give for its legitimacy?\n\nWill the jobs here be available solely to Australian residents?

Well Hello Dolphin,hope this will help you I myself have transferred from Australia to India,and doing BBM in Bangalore as far as I know and had heard that BBM is the same as BMS,BBA.Because I had applied in Chennai where it was BBA.And when I had asked the representatives there they said all are one and the same and that it depends on which state and which board it belongs to which in turn depends on the university to which it is affiliated.And anyway as far as I can tell mumbai isn't the exact place where you can have an excellant all round BBM international,I suggest you take up bangalore as the destination of choice as it is here that the boom of BBA and BBM kick started and is getting more and more prestigious.\nBut i guess you could try Xavier's,St joseph's if at all you stick with Bombay that is.\nHope it helps you not for the points just like to help.Have a nice time.

We have different shows in Australia. I do like 7th Heaven and just love all the Law and Order shows( I'm a sad fanatic of this group). We have a show called All Saints( hospital based) which I love. Love Crossing Jordan, Judging Amy, Boston Public and Will and Grace. We have just started getting on Pay TV the America Exposed Uncut series which I find really interesting. Sadly we are far behind in most shows and series. Thank goodness for Pay TV, I would die without my daily dose of Law and Order...lol.

I successfully ran a theatre company for four years and let me give you a bit of advice. First there is training. There has to be some local theatre schools with a good reputation. Please, before investing a single cent, look into the reputation. As I am Canadian, I am not sure if Hawaii's local college has a theatre program or not, but that might be a good place to start. As well, there are a number of television and movie programs usually filmed in Hawaii. I know that getting in touch with someone on the set is usually impossible, but you can try. Believe it or not, advice is free and professionals are always willing to hand it out to someone who's eager and willing to listen. Also, scan your local papers. Every newspaper you can get your hands on. Free or otherwise. Search for new shows filming or staging in your area (Hawaii is pretty small, so I don't know if travel is a problem or not). Some pretty big companies will advertise for extras in a local newspaper byline (that's the story on the shoot) or in the classifieds. You can also go online and e-mail some professionals and ask for advice. Also, don't be afraid of hitting the local theatre companies. Ask what they want for auditions. Let me tell you, you'll make or break yourself at an audition. You may be perfect for a part, but an inappropriate piece will see you to the door. Keep trying and don't take no for an answer. If you think you can do it, you can.

I've heard that getting into the MFB in Vic is next to impossible. One guy I knew had applied 4 times and failed! This was someone who was in the CFA and had all the relevent certs like chemical and first-aid etc.\n\nThat was just his experience though, jump on the web site and have a look...http://www.mfbb.vic.gov.au/default.asp?casid=604\n\nI've heard from many people that they knock back all first time applicants, so don't get discouraged if you're not successful!

Unless you are licenced for possession of, the sale of explosives (inc fireworks) is illegal in Queensland.  I think Canberra is the only place you can purchase.
