WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO STUDY ANYWHERE ELSE BUT TAFTA????
HOW GOOD ARE OUR SCREENTEST COURSES ??? – JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!!!!! Look at the number of screentests!!!!
Hopefully we’ll crack the two hundred this year!!!!!

We have had such a fantastic month and as such wanted to call out some students who have had some amazing things happen

Hi Guys

It’s been an incredibly exciting year so far with lots of work and major achievements by quite a few people. But the year hasn’t finished, so remember -keep going! We have so much happening this month and quite a few courses running. Currently we have one spot left in our Andy Mcphee workshop in both Sydney and Melbourne and we also have a few spots left in our Melbourne and Sydney Screentest workshop.

For those of you who don’t know – we are in the process of moving. We don’t quite know where we are yet, but we will let you know the details very soon!

We have had a fantastic response to the 20 week course! So much so we are looking at running a second class on Tuesday’s, Thursdays and Saturdays. We will also be making announcements in the next newsletter for when the 20 week course auditions will be held for next year’s 20 week course in Sydney and Melbourne

Thankyou to all those students who auditioned and don’t despair if you haven’t heard back from us just yet as you will do very soon!

Regards
John

Booked a Samsung Commercial in Los Angeles, auditioned for a bunch more and going in for a Fosters Beer Commercial. How ironic!

Jonathan Viehl
“Well new agent an she's pitched me to Thea, went for audition today and as well as doing the audition she ask me to audition another scene on the spot, did to the best of my ability...end of the day was accepted the role of original audition... it's a small role on City Homicide but little steps in the right direction and was happy to see the effort of new agent. OPPORTUNITY + preparation = success”

Trudy Ager
“Last year I entered a competition to win a Presenter spot for a new Pilot called "Talking Travel". John Gauci was kind enough to do a "Travel” Showreel for me so I could enter. I was lucky enough to be invited to do the Show. We filmed 2 weeks ago and it is now going to air. I just thought you might be interested John.
Once again I learnt so much. It is my first attempt as a Presenter........”
