Often YouTube users will get online jobs making videos for sites that are a step above the user-generated videos of YouTube. As a result, people who wouldn’t have made it through Hollywood or even tried too are now being offered opportunities to showcase their talents on talk shows and tv episodes, even movies.
It’s certainly no secret that the Web can launch new faces. The medium already has its tales of regular Janes who made it big, like Lisa Donovan, who leaped from YouTube to the cast of Fox’s “MadTV,” and Brooke Brodack, a Net video character signed to a TV production deal by Carson Daly.
