Hello all!
I’ve been running Straight From School.org since 2006, when it first started out as a fansite. The site has changed a lot since then… Now Straight From School is essentially an acting advice site but I am potentially looking to change things up a bit even more – for the better. I want to know what YOU think and what you want from this website. As the visitor, this site is made for YOU so I appreciate all thoughts, suggestions and ideas!
If you have any suggestions feel free to comment below. Filling out my short survey would be even better! I will get to find out about you, the visitor, and what you visit for. Please fill in as much detail as possible about yourself and what you think so the website can be catered for YOU.
Some ideas to throw into the works;
- New design
- New logo? No more pink!
- A message board?
- More theatre/film reviews?
- More interviews with casting directors/agents/actors
What do you think? I want to know.
I can be contacted at my new email of olivia@straightfromschool.org if you have any suggestions you would like to email me about. Best!
Olivia
Don’t forget the survey! http://tinyurl.com/6caa9rx

Hi Olivia.
More interviews would be graeat. I think the Quick Message box should be on a separate page of its own to make it bigger, clearer and for people to be able to write more – so yeah, a message board. The box to the right hand side of the site with the latest youtube vid is well placed and shouldn’t move in my opinion, and I think the same about the Network tab.
Maybe if you put a pic of a boy to the right hand side of the straight from school logo it would be more unisex
Just some ideas

Hi Ben,
Thank you, I’m completely with you on that one – too girly!
Yes I’ve been thinking about a message board rather than a full blown forum. There are plenty of very good acting forums about to use so a simpler message board maybe on a separate page would be good.
Thanks for the ideas Ben!

More interviews, articles and advice please! And I agree with Ben on putting a picture of a boy next to the logo. Other than that your website is too awesome for further suggestions.

I think that you should have more casting calls posted on the website. i know that it is hard to find genuine ones but it would be usefull to have more on here.

Especialy there are loads of websites like “not a pushy mum” and “mandy.com” that post auditions for free so you could put some on as its not like theirs a lack of resources.
