Casting notes

Casting = based on how you look

Cast ability= based on your talent

When going for auditions you are able to change your casting by simply changing the way dress to suit your character. You can also adopt certain physical characteristics of your character for example; dying your hair, putting in contacts, building muscle in particular area/ losing weight etc. You can also change the way you speak by modulating your voice or speaking with certain regional accents to commit to a low/high status of your characters personality according to the given circumstances.

My casting:
·         Female
·         Black ethnicity
·         Good/sweet girl look
·         Slender figure which could make me: a dancer (ballet?) or young model.
·         Age 11-15
·         Athletic character
·         School girl

One thing that i am going to try and work on to broaden my cast ability is work on certain regional accents. I am able to do a believable scouse accent as I did it for a LAMDA exam as passed with a distinction grade. However I want to work on an American accent to I’m not restricted to just playing British roles in the future.
