Film Auditions & what you need?

[Ice Queen]

Does anyone know what we might need to audition? I mean along the lines of SAG and other things. Any opinions or ideas?

[Her Imperial Viciousness]

Funny, I was just thinking that this would be a very good subject to have a discussion on. People will have a lot of questions on what is needed, what should and shouldn't be done, etc.

If there are any of you here that have experience and know this stuff, by all means put it out there!

I actually may request that a couple of people I know provide some thoughts on this as well...one has done a lot of theater (and auditionings) and the other one works in casting. I am sure that they might have some good information.

I've had a bit of experience... I reached the last round in the Lyra auditions for The Golden Compass movie lol! When you send off a tape of yourself acting you shouldn't be wearing much make up, your hair should be out of your face, and the scene you're doing should be a fairly simple dialodue (no more than three people speaking) which shows emotion. If possible go to a place similar to that of the scene then the directors know you've made an effort and are enthusiastic.

Sign up to Freewebs and take a look at this site - become a member of it or ivite it as a friend and you can look at loads of info on acting/auditions and there's even a page for auditions, too! :)

it's really good and useful!

[LookingGlassEcho]

Also if it's open auditions be prepared to wait fro years to get into see the casting people and don't build your hopes up. You literally see them for two seconds but if they think you look the part they will ask you to read something. If you get past that round be prepared to work your butt off in the auditions as there will be people who want it just as much or more than you do and you will have to fight for the role.

[AlyssH]

I don't know about anyone else, but the freewebs link didn't work for me. The site said that it didn't exist. It sounded like an awesome website, though--something I would totally love!

[MollyCole]

Same here, the link didn't work for me either.

[AlyssH]

By the way, LookingGlassEcho, you seem to know a lot about the auditioning process. Have you done a lot of auditioning? Have you gotten a part? Please tell us about it!

[Caitz4Dodge]

if you get to read something out in the audition be prepared for it..
dont drink ice cold water because it tenses your throat muscles up makeing your voice croaky and unattractive, instead... drink warm water because it relaxes your throat muscles making it easier to talk or sing beautifully.

And don't eat chocolate!!!

[homburgmolly_fan]

And don't eat chocolate!!!

WHAT?????? No CHOCOLATE!?!?!?!?!? How am I supposed to survive without my CHOCOLATE?????? :eek: :eek:

[AlyssH]

It's supposedly bad for your voice. We're not saying NEVER--just not right before performing!

[ApplePie]

The first time my drama teacher told me that I was like NOOOOO!!! Because I had this really yummy chocolate thing I wanted to eat. But then I ate it after the performance. :)

LOL don't worry Alyss, I know what you meant. It's just that when I am in high stress situations I eat like so much chocolate. LOL! It's too good to be true... that and Mountain Dew. :D

Did your friend see him in person?

[homburgmolly_fan]

No she facebooked him.

[theTWiNZ]

No she facebooked him.

that's not official enough for me. I mean, remember that one kid that popped up on the forums a bit and said that she talked to Frank and he said that the book was called EverQueen? And what is the book called? ARCHENEMY!

WRONG! So it's not official until he officiates it! LOL!

That's exactly right. And frankly, I don't trust anyone who says they're someone famous on a social networking site - unless it's been officially confirmed by the person themself.

Well yeah, FB is officially on facebook... I know because there's a link to his page through this website. So it's really him.

*nods* OK, that's official. But still, like the TWiNZ said, until it's officially announced, assume that it's just a nasty rumour. *hugs*

[homburgmolly_fan]

Aww, thanks. I could use that hug.

*Gets up out of the corner*

[Homburg.Hellie]

Aww, thanks. I could use that hug.

*Gets up out of the corner*

oh yay you're no longer in the corner. why not email the casting email and see what they say. i bet they'll say what everyone else has said. not to trust this facebook nonsense.

[Mara Madigan]

Aww, thanks. I could use that hug.

*Gets up out of the corner*

why was molly in a corner?:confused:

[Queen_Alyss_Anders]

why was molly in a corner?:confused:


Read the whole thread Mara, and you'll find out


*gives Molly a hug because that is sad*

[Mara Madigan]

*hugs molly* i hope you feel better:p:)

[homburgmolly_fan]

why was molly in a corner?:confused:

Because I was giving up on my slight chance of playing Molly in the movie. And no, I don't usually hang out in corners.


*gives Molly a hug because that is sad*


*hugs molly* i hope you feel better:

Awwww thanks, guys. :) I feel better now. :)

[AlyssH]

Well, looks like it was just a rumor--check out the "Just In case Frank Beddor Reads These..." thread! He says that you can send in your headshots! Yay! Crisis averted! :D :) :D

[homburgmolly_fan]

Yes, I know! Isn't it exciting?

I sent in my info a couple of weeks ago. Or maybe even longer than that. LOL.

[AlyssH]

I still don't have any professional headshots, and I have compiled a resume, but I'm pretty positive that it isn't up to industry standards as far as formatting and content go. :rolleyes: :( :rolleyes:

[homburgmolly_fan]

I didn't worry about a professional headshot because in the Narnia behind the scene book, I saw the headshots of all the Pevensies. They were anything but professional. A lot of them weren't even centered correctly.

[Homburg Molly]

hey does anyone no were the auditions would be and where it would be filmed if made? country wise?

[homburgmolly_fan]

I have no idea. But actually I am thinking that they are probably going to be looking pretty much everywhere. Probably mostly like England and America. But who knows.
