SCOTT DUPONT: Hi, Scott DuPont, producer of the "ABC's of ACTING." On behalf of Expert Village, welcome back. Our topic here is--how can I best say this, networking, getting together, carpooling, sharing information with other parents. The best way you can do this is after you go on a few auditions or if you encounter another mom or another dad with a kid about the same age and, kids, you can kind of match parents up as well. It's a really great way to share information because if you become friends with someone else like maybe a neighbor or someone that lives close to you, you can share if you hear about a job or an audition. You want to share that information and what will happen is you'll start going on twice as many auditions because you're sharing this information. The other thing is if you want to carpool, especially if you're not in the New York market where you're pretty much taking subways all the time around town to auditions, most markets around the country, you'll be driving. And with the price of gas and with the time commitment as a parent, I've seen a lot of parents do these successfully where they're actually carpooling to auditions, carpooling to callbacks. They might all ride together on the same job and it also makes it a lot of fun. So those are just some tips to share information, save a little bit of money, save your valuable time and have fun in the process. So enjoy. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm losing my voice now. I'll be right back.
