| I have noticed the same problem. I believe it boils down to' a lack of talent'. That is the excuse I have heard from production houses when they show their casting tapes. It is always a case of the same old line up of suspects. As soon as someone comes up with a new face - he/she gets over exposed in next to no time. Surey there is plenty of talent out there. Is it a case of the casting agents don't know about them, the talent isn't making itself known to the agents, or just plain laziness? In the UK there are always new faces and great new talents appearing, surely we have as many potential new faces in South Africa. I don't want to see someone tryng to sell me a bank in one commercial and then a shampoo in the next, followed by a cure for athletes foot in the next. Whilst on that subject - doesn't anybody at the TV stations think about how they show commercials? I have seen 2 competitive companys' ads appear one after the other. Back to the point - encourage the talent out there to come forward and stop saying yes to the same old casting tapes. make the agents do their work to earn their bucks. |
