Thanks for sharing your experience with us Robert. When our daughter told
us 20 years ago or so that she was going to become a professional
performer, my wife and I worried a lot because she was such a softy -- not
someone who could take rejection AT ALL. I guess it comes with experience
because she just returned from Japan and a two month contract with
Universal Studios, Osaka. Auditions and the inevitable rejections have
become almost routine, but she gets enough acceptances to keep her happy.

Anyway, better luck next time, and if you really love it, for goodness'
sake, don't give up!

Oliver
