Audition Info

Here is some basic information about the auditions which are being held on April 27th, 28th and May 4th.  Lines to recite will be up soon. 

Before Auditions:
    Before you arrive at auditions please have the following prepared:
* Sign up
    Sign up for an audition spot at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0E4CACA72BA75-auditions
    If you cannot make it to any of these audition times, email the director at
    epicsummermovie@gmail.com
    to set up an "off-schedule" audition
* Availability
    Bring a list of conflicts you have with the practice/filming schedule
    The detailed schedule will be available soon.  The basic outline is on the previous blog post.
*Lines
    print from your computer
         http://www.epicsummermovie.blogspot.com/2012/04/lines-for-auditions.html
    hopefully memorized
* Sack lunch/dinner/snack
    if you are going to stay to hang out and/or for the bonfire time

When you arrive:
    When you come to auditions, an usher will be available to guide you through:
*Picture & Height
    ESM will take a picture of you
    and measure your height
*Paperwork
    General Form - that asks:
        - availability,
        - former acting experience,
        - desired acting level
    Media Release
        - you fill it out
        - needs to be signed by your parents, and
        - brought the next time you attend an ESM meeting.
After the person auditioning before you is finished, you will be ushered to the audition area.

During Auditions:
    You will be ushered to the audition area.
*Filming
    One of the Casting Crew will start a camera
        note: you will be filmed during your entire audition
*Main Audition Piece
    When directed:
        - State your name, then
        - Recite the provided lines
            giving them whatever emotion you choose
            it is preferable you have them memorized
*Possible Other Audition Part
        - The Casting Crew then may or may not ask you to:
             re-recite the lines with a directed emotion, or
             read different lines and coach you on how to say them.

After Auditions:
    When the Casting Crew is finished with your time slot, they will dismiss you. You may stay afterward for just-for-fun hang-out time with other “auditionees”.  This is optional and will not affect your audition status.  The Casting Crew will join this fun if time permits in between auditions.  During this time, you may ask the Director or other ESM people questions to gain more info.

Director’s Note:
    Auditions are very nerve-racking for those who are auditioning, but they are almost as nerve-racking for the Casting Crew.  So if you have the jitters, just remember you’re in good company.
