His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass open auditions

TheGoldenCompass.jpgOpen auditions are being held for the Philip Pullman film His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass in England in the first two weeks of April. The casting team are looking for a girl aged between nine and thirteen. Do you think you'd like to star as a lead in a major motion picture?

The details are, according to the BBC:

The casting calls will have open queues from 1000-1200GMT and will end at 1700GMT.

The exact locations are Cambridge's Corn Exchange (4 April), Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (6 April), Oxford's Examination Schools (11 April), and Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (13 April)...

...Applicants are being asked to come accompanied by a parent or guardian, dressed warmly - without costumes or make-up - and be prepared for a lengthy wait.

Film-makers have said they are looking for a girl "who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature".

So if you fancy the role, and don't mind all the religious stuff being hugely altered from the novel (had to get that in), then get yourself down there!

I'm 35, way past the age limit! LOL

Are they holding open auditions for Will? I'm 15 and I wanna audition for the part before i get too old!

Is it possible to audition for the other parts yet? I'm 18, so I guess I'm too old for Lyra, but what about other parts in the film? Where do they announce these kind of things?

Victoria you've missed the first two auditions. The dates are in the quotation on the story itself. Have a look and get yourself over there for the 11th or 13th.

im a guy but im going to lyra auditions to find out info on wills part and rogers. id be freaked out if i got lyras part though but hopefully theyll notice me and i'll get a part

ozzy

I was just wondering because i am fourteen and only turned fourteen in January, would i still be able to audition for the part of Lyra because i would absolutely love to. And if i don't get the part of Lyra will they be giving out other parts on the days?

Hi Shona. I'm really not that sure. What you should do is if you're even vaguely interested, just go there and try out. If they like you they'll take you on.

They're not looking for any other parts at the time, but you never know, if they think you're right...

Hey if any of you guys made it to the cast, come back here and tell us!

i found a casting adress to write to if you want a part other then lyra just desribe your self ex. and wait for the reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Postal address:
The Golden Compass Casting
PO Box 328
Twickenham TW1 9BW

hey im 12 and i went 2 da oxford auditions and they took ma picture. they sed they would call me but i dnt kno if that is only if they want me or either way????? help and if any of u got ur pics taken an have already had a call email me plz thx xx

Hey Liv - well done you! Here's hoping you get a call back. I think you'll find you'll only get called back if they are going to get you in again or offer you the part...I could be wrong, but with the amount of people involved in the casting calling everyone would take quite a while!

Heya i went to the oxford auditions as well but i was to old so i didnt get the part but thanx adam cos i will definitely write to them to ask for another part thanx . x

i would love to be in this film because i have also put my name in to audition for a part in harry potter 6 thank you joelle

Hey Soph. I haven't heard anything about the film as yet. We'll post something as soon as we do.

I heard they're auditioning for Will at Abingdon School Oxford. Are they open auditions and do you know when they are?

That's as much as I've heard to date Will. I'll check later today and see if there are any new stories on auditions.

hi i live in tasmania and im 16 do u think theres any hope of me getting the part of will?

hi i live in tasmania (Australia) im 15 and i would like to have a go at getting the part of will do u think theres a chance that they might hold auditions here?

Hi, I am 15 and live in England, I am sorta hoping if you have the audition information for the part of Will, I am a member of the highly prestigious Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, and feel that I have a relatively strong chance due to the fact that I fit the descriptons given in the books and i have had experience.
Thanks
Alex
