Oh great spot!!! I would have merrily gone with minimum - you are quite right - I’ve just checked 30s & 1m - MAXIMUM!!! Hope everyone reads your comment! Thank you for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩🤩
It’s a very personal choice. Obviously something that suits your own accent. You can use a piece you’ve done before, I’d ask a drama teacher or coach that KNOWS you if you can. Pick something you ENJOY performing. I personally like a piece that has come from a whole play, but there’s nothing stopping you using a stand alone monologue, like one from the LAMDA specification. Trilby James has some great monologue compilations. Peg Kehret has published a lot of monologue complications too. Don’t forget to keep your piece to a MAXIMUM of 30 seconds - that’s not long (!) Best of luck
Don’t talk about this bit (you talk for the second video). PERFORM a monologue, poem or created piece. Hope that helps? You can use a script from a movie, but you must perform.
I’m auditioning for Hermione it has been my dream to be in Harry Potter and I hope I get the part I am sending in my poem and my introduction now I hope I get it ❤
@@TheDramaCoach True! I was hoping to get to audition for Percy, because I’m too old for the the others but I hope they open auditions for smaller characters like that!
Hi! I’m going to audition and I was wondering how long each tape can be maximim? Also I read a comment that said you had to pay to submit your tapes? Is that true? Thanks for the help!
The tape where you read a quote or piece from a book or poem you have made has to be 30 seconds or less. The second tape has to be 1 minute or less. Also, that comment is not true.
Tape 1 = 30 seconds or less (performing), tape 2 1min or less (talking) (please don’t ‘read’ in either tape though - make sure you are off book so the camera / casting director can see your eyes). You don’t have to pay, just keep your videos below a certain resolution…there was an earlier comment from someone who checked this out 👍🏻
@JenniferBliss-b8w personally I wouldn’t ‘read’ - you need to be seen by the camera (especially eyes) so make sure you do it to camera not to a piece of paper or book
@JenniferBliss-b8w note the casting says ‘prepare a short poem or storey of your choosing…monologue or something you’ve created yourself’ - I would definitely LEARN it as part of your preparation 👍🏻
We've got round it as the pro membership is for uploading videos over 100MB so we've just downloaded them at a lower bit rate and it hasn't affected the quality really 👍
Oh interesting. I’ve heard different things from different people. If you have an agent 💯 get them to apply for you. I signed up for free, but I’m holding off on uploading the video for my child until my agent has heard back. I’ll update when this is done.
@rachelfreeman-powell8608 oh great well done! 👍🏻 I hope this comment helps others too. Again if you are submitting via an agent they can advise on resolution that’s preferable to the casting director(s). Best of luck!
@TheDramaCoach when I use this link and set up an account it is still trying to charge me and I'm worried it's a scam as everywhere I've read says there shouldn't be a payment but I can't work out how to submit without upgrading rhw account in order to submit the video! I have scoured the internet and I'm feeling at a loss! Appreciate any tips for a mum trying to submit without an agent...
@TheDramaCoach thanks yes mine are under 100 but it's still saying I have to upgrade my account! There doesn't seem any way around it. I'm happy to pay if I have to but it says everywhere (even on their front page) that it doesn't cost so I'm just worried I'm I'm the wrong place! I've set up an account, I've uploaded all the info, it just won't let me add video without upgrading. If you have any other tips or insight I'd be grateful!! 🙏🙏
@healthymunchkins3846 sorry I can’t help you more. I also set everything up, created an account but then my daughter was submitted by her agent so we didn’t go through the Cast It website in the end. Is there anyone on here reading this that has successfully submitted and can help…?
Unfortunately not, at least for Harry, Ron and Hermione. But remember this will be a multi-year project and they will be looking for other roles in the future. Perhaps now is the time to up your game so you have a better chance for those parts in the future!
Thanks so much for the tips! I'm going to be auditioning for Harry.
Good luck
Thank you. Very helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
It says on the website 30 seconds maximum for the first self tape
Oh great spot!!! I would have merrily gone with minimum - you are quite right - I’ve just checked 30s & 1m - MAXIMUM!!! Hope everyone reads your comment! Thank you for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩🤩🤩
Quick question do you mind suggestions for poems monologues ?

I’m auditioning for Hermione ! ^^ ( I have my poem, and I’m already prepared :3)
Great work! And best of luck
I’m auditioning for hermoine and I’m so excited. I look more like ginny though so do you know if the smaller characters are coming out?
I don’t know, but just do your best for the tapes / casting directors as who knows…best of luck
@@TheDramaCoach how do I send it
@@Tess-vu9ly all via that website, step by step…you register, then submit your videos
@@Tess-vu9ly it’s here if you need the link: app.castittalent.com/HPCasting?
In the video where you have to talk about a poem, story or monologue can I talk about a story from a book that’s also a movie for example maze runner?
Don’t talk about this bit (you talk for the second video). PERFORM a monologue, poem or created piece. Hope that helps? You can use a script from a movie, but you must perform.
@@TheDramaCoach Oh right, thank you for explaining.
@avv_ae no problem at all. Glad it makes sense 👍🏻

Best of luck
I look nothing like the characters so can i still audition and hope 4 the best
Ye you don’t have to look like it
Exactly! 👍🏻
Will they open auditions for side characters at some point or are they just doing this for the trio?
It’s only an open casting for those three main characters at present…but who knows right…?
@@TheDramaCoach True! I was hoping to get to audition for Percy, because I’m too old for the the others but I hope they open auditions for smaller characters like that!
@davishenderson8464 do you have an agent? If not maybe now is the time to get one…?
Do we need an agent?
No, you can self submit. But if you do want an agent for the future check this out: th-cam.com/video/-I54ntrxB0s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lbqfcxXvdv0SPS9i
Hey umm I have a quick question should you also put your name in the get to know you piece or is that not necessary?
Personally I would. It just makes sense for a natural slate 👍🏻
@@TheDramaCoach ok thank you and i hope your daughter does well ❤️
@Shruti-yx6ho thank you so much
@@TheDramaCoach no problem ❤️

The 30 second one you have to read not perform otherwise it won’t count

I’m turning 12 in May but it said I had to be 9-11 by April . I’m I fine?
Good question - if you are still 11 in April then sure, it sounds like you are fine - best of luck
Actually don’t wanna start “drama”pun not intended it says you have to be within the age range by 2025 April so maybe not sorry about that
@Fnaf_studios123 yes good spot and good pun - I was just telling someone else about that
Which link we should use to apply please?
It’s in the description
Im 12 but short for my age nd jist tirned 12 can i still audition
No, I’m afraid not, according to the rules for this one. But great that you are short for your age - this can be a real bonus for future castings 👍🏻
Yes it can't hurt can it
That's sad
How do I send it though
Through Cast It: app.castittalent.com/HPCasting?
It says you have to pay premium membership to upload a video 😔
We've got round it as the pro membership is for uploading videos over 100MB so we've just downloaded them at a lower bit rate and it hasn't affected the quality really 👍

Can the video of us performing a play or monologue or scene be from a movie or show?
Sure, I don’t see why not (just not from HP) - and don’t try to ‘copy’ those doing it…make it your own - feel it, ‘wear’ it differently and enjoy it!
@@TheDramaCoach okay, thank you!
@avv_ae no problem 👍🏻
Can we have a link
It’s here: app.castittalent.com/HPCasting?
Cast It Talent (via the official Harry Potter - Wizarding World website)

Can you make your own script to act
Yes you can 👍🏻
The 30 second one you have to read not perform otherwise it won’t count
if im 13 do u think I still have a chance
Unfortunately not, at least for Harry, Ron and Hermione. But remember this will be a multi-year project and they will be looking for other roles in the future. Perhaps now is the time to up your game so you have a better chance for those parts in the future!
Can You Still Audition Even If You Don't Live In UK Or Ireland But Willing To Travel
no
No, I’m afraid it’s a UK casting call
Do we need an agent?
Absolutely not, it’s an open casting. If you do have one though, let them do the work for you!
