I want to put together a group of editors, graphic designers, animators, script editors VO actors and those that understand how the government works. We need to start to educate young people so that come 2023, we will do the right thing. It's Voluntary work.

Audition rejections don't necessarily mean that you can't act. Maybe you don't fit the vision the Director or producer has. Maybe someone else brought a little more to the character. One good thing, though, is that the producers notice you.
