Im not a waitress - Im an
actress!
For every Kate Winslet or Catherine Zeta Jones,
there are thousands of British 'wannabe'
actresses who never make it in Hollywood. 't is
disheartening,' admits 28-year-old Rachael
Nortance. ''ve been to so many auditions for film
parts where walk in and there's a room full of
equally talented people, and ask myself: "Why
am
here?" Bui ironically, what Rachael finds hardest
to accept is how nice people are to her at
auditions. 'The organisers tell you they love your
work, and for the first month or so believed
them, but eventually realised it's totally fake
because mostly you never hear from them again.'
During her four years in the USA. Rachael has
been to more auditions than she can remember,
has sent out thousands of photos of herself, and
been to every celebrity party that she's been
invited to. For all that, the closest she has come
to line 89 a camera is the one she takes snaps
with to email home to her family in England. She
has yet to land any film or TV work, and "S
currently working at a children's talent agency to
make ends meet. 'Basically, do my best to keep
happy and focused on the industry,' she says. '
was very realistic when
came to Hollywood - presumed would have to
be a waitress, so can't complain about a job that
not only pays the bills, but which also gives me a
lot of satisfaction.'
Rachael is just one of an estimated 1,000
hopefuls who arrive in Los Angeles every week,
chasing dreams of stardom. Many are British, and
almost all are unprepared for Lhe intensity of the
competition for acting jobs, and end up taking line
!4 menial jobs because they have to support
themselves. 'British actresses think Los
Angeles is
the land of opportunity,' she explains. 'They see
icons like Kate Winslet and think it's possible to
be successful here. But for every one that makes
it, there are thousands who end up doing dead-
end jobs. Many get stuck here because they don't
want to go home again, not so much because
they can't afford it, but because that would be
admitting defeat they'd risk losing face.'
n spite of the constant rejection, Rachael keeps
going. Tm passionate about acting and think 've
reached a standard where can prove 'm a good
actress,' she explains. 'Bui do get down
sometimes. That's when cry on the phone to
Mum, who talks me out of packing my bags and
makes me realise need to strive harder. There
isn't a day that goes by when don't wonder if
made the right decision to come here, but then a
big audition comes up, or someone introduces me
to a useful contact, and realise how lucky am.'
Rachael always wanted to act. She studied
drama at Liverpool University before spending
two years at the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts, winning their best actress award. t was an
instructor there who suggested she try her luck in
movies. Four years later, even though she has
yet to secure an acting role, she still feels she is
doing the right thing. 1 know it takes time to make
it here. At this stage it's all about contacts. A
week ago, had a meeting with a production
company, and they've asked me to audition for a
part in a possible film in two years' time. t's a
long way off, but this could be where the ball
starts rolling. t's like any goal you set yourself -
you get so far and you can't give up.'

Jobs in the Music ndustry
We talk to four people who work behind the scenes at a recording company.
. Dan Welney: Financial planning assistant
Dan worked for a merchant bank during university
holidays to save up for a year out travelling. They offered
me a permanent job,' he says. 'But decided it wasn't for
me. So went to a firm of recruitment consultants who
pointed me in the direction of the music industry and
started in January. 'm responsible for things like
employees' expenses when they go on foreign trips so
there's quite a bit of paperwork. But we're also the ones
who say, 'You haven't got enough money to sign that
band,' or 'You'll have to cut the video budget,' which is the
interesting part. don't get out of the office a great deal,
which can be a drawback, but there are compensations -
free concerts and CDs were certainly one attraction of the
job. Although the celebrities tend to bypass my office, this
certainly beats working for a bank, even if it's not as well
paid.'
D Gemma Ortolano: Office manager
Although Gemma studied music at university, she chose
courses that prepared her for the music business rather
than the creative side. 'We learned about music law, tour
management, all that side of it. Now 'm office manager in
the marketing department here. t's a pretty varied job.
have to make sure everyone has what they need,
organise mailings to the press and compile and send
round reports so everyone in the organisation knows
what's happening with the bands. get to work across
departments so it's an interesting job and 've mixed with
my fair share of celebrities. didn't know anyone in the
industry when started out, though obviously that can
help. chose to do a specialised degree instead and
walked into a job afterwards. would recommend it as a
way of getting into the industry.'
Q Sam Tysler: Music lawyer
Sam trained as a lawyer, but admits to being a frustrated
musician. ' played in a band as a kid at school and
always dreamt of getting involved in entertainment sooner
or later. joined this company in 1994 and 'm now the
senior lawyer in the department. t's not all desk-based
and the day doesn't end at 6:30 p.m. because you've got
to be out there in the public eye - although since got
married, have had to cut back a bit on the partying. The
artists and songwriters represent are worth C70 million
in record sales. One has sold 30 million records, others
just have their 15 minutes of fame - that's the nature of
the business. find working in the industry is a thrill in
itself because, although just draw up the contracts, still
enjoy the buzz and the thrill of the deal.'
. Valerie Picot: Receptionist
As a French student doing nternational Business and
English language, Valerie got to know the British music
scene when she was over doing work experience as part
of her course. 'After my degree, returned and worked as
an assistant at a recording studio,' she explains. 'Then
last March was made redundant and did temporary
secretarial work before landing my present job. Music has
always been a big part of my life so came to where it all
happens - London. meet and greet visitors, and get to do
cover across the departments if anyone is off sick. That
means 've acted as PA to the Chairman, worked in
international marketing - all good experience. 'm hoping it
will lead to a more creative role.'

A day 'll always remember
magine how happy and excited a little child from Africa feels when
he or she sees snow for the first time. That's exactly how felt
when my parents took me to the London Aquarium on my tenth
birthday
As soon as woke up in the morning, realised that my parents
had planned something special. They didn't say anything, though,
until had opened my presents. As was staring in delight at my
new bicycle my father suddenly said, 'Okay, let's go to London!"
n the car, my father told me we were going to the London
Aquarium. remember that had no idea what he meant. only
understood when saw the photographs of fish outside. We spent
hours there. was so impressed by the sharks that didn't want to
leave!
'll never forget that day. really enjoyed my party later, but my visit
to the London Aquarium made it a special day for me You won't be
surprised when tell you that 'm now studying marine biology at
university!
