Hi Bryn!
Yes I would recommend you put a studio together after you have completed a demo,however I can't stress enough that you should not complete your demo until you have completed at least a year of training.(some may say 2) You wouldn't want to be seen as a newbie on your demo but if you could pull off an outstanding demo you really should be able to demonstrate that level of professionalism without too many takes come audition time. If there is one thing a producer at a production house hates to see is a talent come in for an audition and cannot perform to the level of that individual's demo. The director may love your read and say now give me that same read with a hint of seduction or coyness. Could you nail it? And be completely believable? I'm still working on it and I'm fairly new at this too. Only a coulpe of years now but I have understood that part of the biz is patience and alot of hard work. (in front of a mic, on the phone, and knocking on doors)
I like the fact that you're as anxious as I once was but you have to face reality too. A plumber can't advertize himself as a professional after only a couple of months training could he? I hope I'm not coming across as negaitive I just want you to go about this the right way. I'm not sure if you are Canadian or American but Deb Munro is an amazing coach in the Van area. (Tell her I sent you and she'll give you the first 10 courses free! then tell her I'm just kidding) She really is good though.
Anyway best of luck to you Bryn.
Maybe we'll chat sometime about your huge success!
