Re: the casting website...
Only joined about 6weeks ago, but there hasnt been a suitable casting yet for my daughter(only 7). Most castings seem to be older children especially boys.But maybe I havent joined for long enough yet. Also most of the castings posted seem to be on this site within 24hrs anyway!!Would I bother again??? So far no!! x
Re: the casting website...
Hi, we found the opposite- there seemed to be more for girls and not many for ds!! I guess it changes all the time. Keep trying, it took Ds two years of auditions and rejection before he got a part in Sound of Music.

Re: the casting website...
I will perservere with the site. good to hear that youve seen auditions suitable for girls! Well done to your son, how fabulous, he must be very talented & you must be very proud !! Have only taken daughter to one audition with Jo Hawes, for Les Mis, got call backs to last 12 , but no further, & despite knowing better(spent many years treading the boards myself), neither I nor my daughter take rejection very well!! keeping fingers crossed for loads of auditions for boys & girls!
Re: the casting website...
Call back to last 12 is fantastic. Ds takes rejection better than us so all the time he's happy to, we will keep going! Good luck- I'm sure the right part will come up!

Re: the casting website...
There was an opportunity through the casting website yesterday through Jo Hawes. She is holding a Masterclass in the Art of Auditioning up and down the country from Oct 24 - Feb next year. The class is for 1.5 hours and cost is £25. There are only 20 places to each class and its getting booked up fast. I have emailed Jo to reserve a place for my dd and already received a reply to place her on the list. Either look at the casting website or maybe contact Jo Hawes direct.
Re: the casting website...
Do the latter!!!
I've booked both mine in for January. Jo responded really fast.
Sounds really great.

Re: the casting website...
I think you're right igloobabe, this was on Jo Hawes audition circular today, hope it will be helpful info for anybody needing some direction in the audition department. I think its a fab idea that Jo is doing this.
From Jo Hawes
I also run masterclasses all over the country in the ART OF AUDITIONING – dates below - so if you are interested in any of these do let me know. These are separate from the shows I cast and are simply designed to help children approach auditions in a positive way and use their nerves.
· Each class is limited to 20 children only.
· Children should be aged 7 – 16.
· My staff and I all hold chaperone’s licences with enhanced CRB disclosures.
· Classes are 1.5 hours long – each session is complete and is not part of a course.
· Cost - £25 per child and £15 for siblings payable in advance.
· These one off sessions are fun and will help children to view auditions as an enjoyable challenge rather than a scary experience.
· Children take away detailed information reminding them of the things we have covered during the class. I also include tips for parents!
DATES PLANNED SO FAR -
· Maidenhead October 24 A few places remaining
· Maidenhead November 4 4.30 – 6pm
· London November 28 10.30 – 6pm
· Birmingham 5 Dec 10.30 – 6pm
· Plymouth 30 Dec pm
· London 16 Jan 10.30 – 6pm
· Brighton 23 Jan 10.30 – 6pm
· Cardiff / Bristol 6 Feb 10.30 – 6pm
· North Wales 20 Feb pm

· Manchester 25 Feb pm
· Oxford 26 Feb pm
Best wishes
Jo
