Assignment #9 – "Audizione Via"
From 12 – 4, you remaining girls are definitely the crème de la crème. From promotional movie posters to paparazzi shots, from romantic scenes to terrifying horror flicks, you girls have mastered it all. Now, it is time to put all your training to the test. It is common knowledge that amateur actors have to audition like frenzied chickens to even reach an inch of recognition. Luckily for you all, you have already had some publicity so instead of going to 20 auditions in search of that one small job, you get to audition for big name Hollywood Films!
We have compiled a casting list from 8 Major films directed by big name directors that will skyrocket any one of you into immortal fame… only if you pass their auditions!
Auditions are hard work, and so, we do not expect you to audition for all 8 films. Rather, focus on doing well on particular ones! Your auditions require a cover letter introducing why you should be cast for that role, in that specific movie. It also requires a mock shoot where you will have a photo shoot taking specific moments of your scenes.
