UK success stories from AMTC - your stories!


Thank you so much to everyone who has written to me already! 
I am dedicating this post to all of you who have enjoyed AMTC in the US, and those who are going back to try the UK AMTC in November. Send me your stories, photos and thoughts and I'll share them here with everyone. 
Click the 'comments' link below to see what your fellow AMTC'ers have been up to! Hopefully we will keep this as an ongoing topic and add to it everyday :-)

I'll start things:
The photo on this post is of Raneisha Legah, form Windsor, who came with me to AMTC in January 2007. Raneisha was spotted by Niki Robinson the Berkshire scout at her classes at Artemis Studios. As a result of going to AMTC Raneisha signed with top manager Ted Brunson, and then got an agent, Darci. Raneisha and her mum are living in L.A until September at least, and she loves it! R and her mum will post here themselves later, but to bring you up to speed, since leaving AMTC with her offer of a contract, she has got a working visa for the USA, moved out into a lovely apartment, made loads of new friends, is going to school, taking music lessons, dance lessons and new photos for her portfolio. She will start auditioning shortly (they needed a few weeks to settle!) and we hope she will soon be as big a star as her heroine Hilary Duff. Go Raneisha!

Just in: This has been around for a while, but Sam Angell has asked me to put his youtube on the blog! This is a little clip of some of Sam's competitions at AMTC. He went a few years ago and booked Tarzan on Broadway as a direct result. Sadly the visa became an issue, but he then went on to play billy elliot in the West End (still there actually)..go Sam!
