Everything I know about the auditions

7 months ago

My friend was at Bristol and this is all he told me about Bristol: 1) You don't need a parent there 2) You need ID (photocopy off passport) and a proof of adress (Bank statement etc - cut out your bank account details like sort code in case you lose it) 3)You can turn up any time between 10 and 4 but things got hectic around midday at Bristol. So get there early if you can. 4)The audition starts by them taking about 16 people into a room and putting you in groups of 4, this is an improvised role play. If they think you're good they bring you back to read from a part of the series 3 script. I hope that clears things up. But ask if you have any other questions and i'll contact my friend. UPDATE: THE LOCATION HAS CHANGED! IT'S NOW AT: PARLIAMENT HILL SCHOOL, HIGHGATE ROAD, NW5 1RL The closest tube station now looks like Kentish Town. ID - Photo ID Proof address - Anything like a letter from an authority that will have your latest details - Bank statement is what I'm taking but I'm guessing letters from the NHS aswell would be good. DIRECTIONS HOW TO GET THERE http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en Go to this site. Put in the Station or bus stop you'll be at. Type in "Parliament Hill School" for travelling to (set it as place of interest) and it gives you what line or buses you need to get on. Mine and Danny's input: I heard a rumour that you have to be within 60 miles of Bristol to be casted. But we don't think this true becuase they have auditions in places like London which are a lot further than 60 miles.

    Hey, cheeres for the info, it kinda reminds me of how they did the HP auditions like you fill out your form while your waiting go in to a room, they ask you something about yourself and then they collect the forms this allowes them to tell you to wait behind, then you go into another room, sign you life away saying you wont tell anyone anyinfomation about the script your about to read and then you read it :P
