Re: Auditions

Firstly with spotlight contact them and ask for the pins you need to view and edit their profiles. Then you can see what's up. I don't know who your agent is and it does happen that mistakes get made. I will say however that I do remember going to a casting and reading the brief which said dark hair...

Re: #time4change

I totally endorse those last 2 comments. When choosing the best place for your youngsters the fact that a college has signed up to or at the very least shown an awareness of the need to keep a look out for the mental wellbeing of their students should play a big factor. I would also like to say that...

Re: Screen test

That is not unusual for a major role. They will test hair and makeup, costume, and possibly chemistry between actors and also a range of emotions. If a studio is going to take a gamble on someone they will want to test first. One of my DS was flown to Bulgaria for a week for a screen test. To be fai...

Stage School

So who watched this most bizarre programme yesterday? Twitter seriously slated it and it is all clearly staged (excuse the pun), but wanted to open a discussion on peoples views. Did it do stage schools any favours. Should the school have taken part. Is it the next Towie? Just a few thoughts to open...

Re: Purple Giraffe Agency- books now open

Until Purple Giraffe make contact with admin all posts will be deleted. It is polite to ask permission first before posting and at this stage I can gather no information about them. I will be more than happy to allow them to mention their agency upon making contact with admin.

Re: The Nutcracker - Lucy Bevan casting

Lucy Bevan is one of the nicest casting directors on the circuit and very thorough in what she does. She will call you if you fit the brief and not otherwise. Given the project this will probably be a huge call and lots of people will be seen with several rounds of recalls. If you don't hear back do...

Re: 16 year old - Out of licensing - any time limits on set?

A lot of productions now insist on a chaperone until 18 which is the norm in the US. The disadvantage of not having someone with them is that they don't like to say no to anything so make sure they understand its an 8 hour working day. It might be worth asking to go with on the first day so that you...

Re: Some help needed...

At the moment this project is slated as In Development and no casting director is attached. Its currently showing a 2017 release. There are limited details so until this project moves into In Production it is unlikely that more details are forthcoming.

Re: A remark from a TV and Film Director

I would endorse the experiences of PG and othere here. None of my children had any formal acting lessons and by childrens standards went on to gain many childrens acting roles. They went to castings dressed as they felt comfortable. One of the nicest roles one was cast in came about from turning up ...

Re: Advice on recalls and payment please...

If you are sure that they have been paid and you dont have an arrangement that gives them time scales for paying like only twice a year, I would suggest a letter giving them notice that they have 7 days to pay before you will begin proceedings. I am assuming its not one of the well known agencies, a...

Re: kccp - age limits

Most ages in casting are playing age not actual age so when filling in your profile thats what you should have in mind. I am no longer a memeber but I believe that you can edit the age when applying for particular jobs although I am sure some of our memebers will correct me if I am wrong.
