ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Talent executive Lorna Clarke says "The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Talent
schemes are all about raw talent.
Ìý
"We're not looking for formal qualifications or experience,
more the kind of passion that's been with you as long as you can remember,
the spark of something that makes you lose track of time, forget were
you are, stay up later than you should do, get up earlier than you want
to.
Ìý
"It's what you enjoy, what you're good at, your dream
job if you had your way.
Ìý
"It might be your love of classical music, your passion
for R'n'B, or your love of writing.
Ìý
"Either way, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Talent could be your big chance
to shine."
