5th Annual Talent Showcase4th Annual TS 2018

As 2019 comes to a close, it is time once again for our exciting & entertaining Talent Showcase on December 11th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!

Our stage will be visited by over 20 talented performers committing acts of entertainment including singing, stand-up, acting, and more. It will be busy with fun performances from beginning to end. And, of course there will be the usual networking before & after the program that has resulted in jobs, productions, and more over the years since we’ve been holding monthly mixers.

Talent Agents & Casting Directors:

Come be entertained on December 11th by exciting new talent who may be just right for upcoming roles, especially since many performers are not yet represented!

Photography & Videography:

Still photographing is allowed at our mixers; recording video is not — except at our annual Talent Showcase! We hope that those in our audience will snap photos and shoot videos galore. However, the deal is that whatever you record you will immediately and freely share with Network Austin Mixer so that we may feature it on our website and/or social media.

So, plan on coming to Opal Divine’s Austin Grill on Wednesday, December 11th, and invite your friends. Look forward to performances by an amazing array of local talent providing perhaps the most spectacular Talent Showcase at Network Austin Mixer thus far, and benefit by opportunities to mix & mingle with others in our industry.

‘Tis the season for giving, so if you have a stuffed lovie to donate, then please bring it for the The Veteran’s Teddy Bear Project!

Last Month:
We extend our greatest gratitude to the esteemed panelists on our  Multicultural Panel:

Alka Bhanot, producer and co-founder & former board chair of Indie Meme
Jing Yang, photographer & film director, and Festival Director of the Austin Asian American Film Festival
Julia Podgorsek is the founder & director of the Ciné-Club of the Alliance Française d’Austin
Manuel Ray Garcia is a multimedia producer and founding member of the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Latino Independent Producers

We thank these stellar speakers for gracing our stage on Wednesday, November 13th, for staying up there long after the usual time to answer the procession of audience questions, and spending time individually afterward!

See photos here, and more mixer photos here.

Come on the 11th and bring a friend (and maybe a teddy bear!) to network and enjoy the show. While there enjoy Opal Divine’s Happy Hour which lasts until 7, then $3 “Three for Texas” beers the rest of the evening. And don’t cook or go anywhere else for a meal or snacks because Opal’s offers a tasty and largely locally-sourced menu of goodies.

Pass along our website and check it for details about each month’s speaker(s)!

Call for Submissions

Continuing an annual tradition, our next Talent Showcase is scheduled for this December, so submissions are open now until November 25th for you to submit your act. Take this opportunity to show off your talent!

Just complete the form below.

Central Texas is rich with as-yet-unseen exceptional talent. Here’s your chance to show us all what you’ve got, so don’t hold back. But don’t delay, because only the first 25 completed & confirmed entries will make the show. And the deadline for submissions will be here before you know it: Monday, November 25th.

Anyone age 12 or older is invited to sing, dance, play an instrument, do stand-up, a monologue, or whatever talent you wish to showcase. Just keep in mind that young people will be in the room, so keep it “G-rated”. If your act includes accompanying music, then we’ll need that ahead of time. If you’re using on-screen visuals or any special equipment, then bring it early on the day of performance so it can be set up and ready to roll before the program begins. And be aware that at 3 minutes you’ll get the hook, so keep it short & sweet.

Fill in the form below to submit yourself. Afterward, if you have any change of plans whatsoever, then contact Network Austin Mixer ASAP.
