Thread: Film Auditions WHO: Felicity Bainbridge & Open to Auditioners WHEN: Sept. 9 (backdated because I somehow FORGOT) WHERE: Martin & Marvin's Modern Theatre OOC: Reply with your character's audition if they did
It was a relatively calm Saturday, except for the small commotion outside of Martin & Marvin's Modern Theatre. A number were students from the school, others were locals, and some people from neighboring towns heard about it and wanted to audition. It was a good pool to work with and Felicity hoped to find the actors to fill the roles. She couldn't be so choosy, even if this film was her first vision to make it this far. Despite her confidence in her writing, she was also a perfectionist. She didn't want to film something until she felt it was ready to print and now, this time, she did.
She sat behind a desk by herself for now. Next to her was a camera that she would turn on and off to record each audition. They should have read the scripts and people came with the forms filled out already. She had them in a stack, gently placed into a manila folder. Quite a few of them had included headshots. The house lights were up and so the people who took to the stage could easily see her. Some showed a bit of anxiety at her clear presence and others didn't seem bothered at all. A few were more aware of the camera than they were of her.
She had them read individual lines but then act out specific scenes. Taking video of how each person did in each character. Some had read the script and developed the character in their own mind, and that could work. Others read the character completely wrong. Then there were some that appeared to have multiple personalities, trying to figure out which one they thought Felicity would like best. Her face was set in stone and she would jot down notes. Sometimes she'd even pretend to jot them down to see if the person broke character.
Regardless, it was a long day with period breaks. And then the day ended, as did the auditions. Felicity took her camera and immediately went back to her dorm to review the footage.
