Since I'm so far beyond my twenties, is it worth my while to audition for Jenny Brennan? Or is the age range being held to fairly strictly?

[bkdelong.livejournal.com]

You'd have to ask Rob and Neil but I'm fairly sure they're looking to as close to the listed age range as possible.

Sorry, I've got another question.

The audition documents are in a protected PDF format. This means I can read them on my computer, but I can't put them on my portable braille device to bring to the audition. The braille device doesn't support PDF, so, in order to use these documents, I would have to convert them to text or rtf or Word. Since they're protected, I can't do that, so the BrailleNote can't read them.

Is there any way someone could send the documents to me in one of the other formats? Unprotected PDF would also be okay, but I'm not sure what the BrailleNote would do with the columns. I think there's a good chance that it would give me everything in the left column followed by everything in the right column, so I'd have to read the whole list of characters on a page before I got to any of the descriptions.

Don't worry about it; audioboy took care of it.
