Billboard Model receives invite to USA

Billboard Model receives invite to USA

Date: 2015-10-16
Lifestyle Billboard Girl, and Crawford North Coast student Storm Mirtle has just returned from an international arts showcase where she has received call backs and an invitation to attend the stage auditions in Orlando, Florida in July 2016. International Talent Scout Kim Myers, commented on Storm saying how much she loved her talents and the fact that she poses as a quadruple threat by ticking all the boxes.

Mirtle who is 17 and has been grooming herself for Hollywood from a small girl, and has spent the past 14 or so years of her life gaining experience and accolades in drama, dance, singing and modelling. She boasts a list of organisations and disciplines from Ballet, freestyle, modern, hip-hop and contemporary in dance disciplines and Pretoria Youth Theatre exposure on stage just to name a few.

"Drama is my passion," says Storm, "but I have a huge passion for dance too and the singing and modelling just followed suit." Storm says her arrival at Crawford College North Coast helped inspire her in all cultural areas and loves the high level of cultural input in Drama.

In particular, she gives great credit to her Drama mentor Melissa Wood, who is highly committed and such an inspiration. She has recently joined Footworx Studio in Ballito where owner Natasha Hooman choreograph her mixed dance piece for this audition.

The next step is to attend a cultural boot camp in Johannesburg in January and start the grooming process for the trip to USA. At this showcase held at Walt Disney World, the organisers bring representatives and scouts from well-known companies such as 21st Century Fox, Sony, MGM, Nikelodeon, etc. and the chances of obtaining work or a booking from this stage is extremely high.

This could come in the form of dance videos, voice overs, movie parts etc. Storm says, "One should never give up on their dreams, and a dream is never too big to achieve, if you have enough passion." Storm goes on to say "My Mom taught me that I can do anything if I really put my mind to it, and work hard enough to achieve it"
