Students and Novice Stage Managers / Girl trying to get her start in the Rock'n'Roll industry
« on: May 08, 2007, 04:14 am »
Hey- I'm new to the site. I've been doing tech for Theatre for 3 years and am now moving towards tech for Concerts. Rock Concerts. My ultimate goal is to be Stage Managing a tour but i know that i have to do something in the meantime.
most of the people i look up to got started by being loaders. most of the people i look up to are also guys.
i intern at a venue in hollywood. when i try to help bands load and get set up i often get batted off. this is hard especially when i'm just learning. make one mistake and i'm just a stupid little girl. i'm trying to not get discouraged but when i talk to my friends, they say there's only one way for girl's to get into the rock'n'roll industry and it's not by being a loader. it's by getting on their knees if you get my drift.
This site seems to be amped a little more towards theatre. Is there any concert or even touring SM's that can give me some advice on how to get started in the business?
