RD Casting is looking to expand its talent to include younger talented actors in its midst. RD Casting owner Michael Moor, alongside Rachel Roff, are currently auditioning and talent spotting for the younger generation with an aim to launch this new service for RD Juniors in early 2018.
Think you or someone you know has what it takes to make it to RD Juniors? Get in touch by sending an email to info@rd-casting.com to find out when the next auditions are.
For all those auditioning, best of luck and hopefully we shall see you on here soon!
Here are some pictures from Wednesday's recent talent workshop for RD Juniors. RD Casting's Michael and Rachel would like to say many thanks to Theatre for Life, Michelle Smith and the wonderful youngsters in Southampton. Thanks to Mag Lepokwska for the photography.
Well this may sound like a story but its based on the reality that Ruth Lockwood faced last Sunday. Having heard of Ruth's childhood desire to meet fellow Yorkshire talent, Lesley Garrett, and of Ruth's incredible talent, Lesley herself invited Ruth down to see her live at this special charity event for the Titans Community Foundation and Lost Chord. Needless to say, Ruth jumped at the opportunity and was there in a flash to see her idol perform.
What happened next was the icing on the cake. Ruth was privileged to actually meet Lesley and listen to her wisdom and experience directly.
Picture the scene, its a Sunday morning, 9:59am, you're waking up all warm and cosy in bed and thinking, 'Do I need to get up, what do I need to do today anyway?'
The next minute, your phone rings. You consider not answering it and staying in your pj's all day but it's a number you don't recognise and your intrigued at what it could be. Before you know it, you are being invited to an exclusive Opera concert at the Caledonian Club London, all expenses paid, to see your idol since childhood, Lesley Garrett that afternoon!
Ruth loved every second of this incredible opportunity and is only filled with gratefulness for the incredible opportunity thanking everyone that made one of her dreams become a reality and her bucket list become that little bit smaller.
Congratulations Ruth, well deserved!
