Hey Laila,
I just popped by to read your take on the ‘NW experience. I was a semi (quarter?) finalist – I can never remember which one is the last one but I was knocked out – rightfully, I think – by Colleen Brow, who, as you heard, was very good.
I didn’t hear your whole final show but I heard a couple of segments and you sounded great: well prepared, calm but with contagious enthusiasm. And I know how much work goes into putting the show together: I spent multiple hours putting my last one hour appearance together (and I have a two-year old at home too!). Three hours is crazy, particularly if you don’t have a producer working with you.
Don’t be bummed if ‘NW doesn’t come through with an offer. From all I hear, the cost-cutting that has gone on at Corus would mean even if they did offer a gig, it would probably be really poorly paid for the amount of work you’d have to do (you’d be working a lot on ‘passion’!).
All the best!
David
