“It’s subjected to Hurts’ reliably gloomy outlook and careless trade of hooks and relevance for grandiloquence and affectation”

Getting an agent and auditions
I am new to this site but am looking for a little advice.
I am currently looking to find a manager or agent and dont know where to begin. I am based in the north west and unfortunately did not have the money to go to drama school but decided to go to university and study performing arts. We were not told how to go about networking and getting into that inner circle and eventually getting regular work on tour, west end or just simply on the caberet scene.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ah, it’s that time of year again. That glorious time of year when Simon Cowell goes all out to make it look like The X Factor is a good thing. Isn’t he kind to us? It’s all very well releasing a single for a charity and it’s all very well that all the finalists get a fair share of the spotlight (cough), but when it comes to cramming over twenty artists into one song, slapping on some forced grins like everyone’s having buckets of fun whilst bobbing up and down in uncannily regimented unison, doesn’t it all feel a bit contrived?
