Anyone's kids going for it?? My daughter would have loved to but is 2 months too young 😢

Still no luck here, despite trying since this time last night on and off. I have just noticed that the deadline has been extended to 8th November?

Cast It Talent

Did you pay?
I can’t get back to the screen without paying now.

Oh amazing! I kinda hoped that might happen!

Don't try submitting it from within the roles section in the account. Once.you have an account and are logged in, separately click on this https://app.castittalent.com/hpcasting and it doesn't take you through the payment part x

No didn't pay anything 🤔

I have one who would love to, then I think school ….!

Just submitted. Used a computer and had no issues or no requests for payment even though I did exactly the same on Thursday. 🤪

I am going to try again tomorrow when the kids are back at school as I ran out of steam.

And mine is 2 months too old! The one who is in the right age group isn't interested in acting 😭

Just wondering if you did a resume and photo etc or did you just submit the 2 videos?

I didn’t do resume because it would have been blank! In a whim I uploaded a school headshot but kinda regretted it immediately but too late!

What’s the recall process /timeframe as far as you’ve heard @Oor I’m really curious as to what might happen next.

Or anyone else got any updates?

I don’t know about the time frames or anything. My daughter is in an agency and I follow a few other agencies in insta. Some of them have alluded to kids on their books having recalls (but they can’t say it clearly because of the NDA).

My ds is 12 so that ruled him out.
He has a spotlight profile and an agent (although has only ever really done "background artist" things)
The production team actually contacted his agent and asked him to film an audition piece after seeing his spotlight profile. So they can't be that strict on the ages 🤷🏽

Ooh that’s exciting! Good luck to him! He must have the look they want!

Eek good luck!

Ohhh that’s exciting @afrikat. So am I correct in assuming his audition piece would be longer than the 30 sec / 1 min self tape things but probably what everyone would be asked so do as a next step?

Sorry I think that was for @crazyunicornlady73

I read somewhere else that a recall was sent a script to tape.

Just filmed DS's. It was a little bit on the stressful side. DS looks exactly like how Harry is described in the books but I fear that's not going to make up for his utter lack of preparation! Ah well, it's done now.

I still can’t get mine to upload. I get to submit and it tells me I need a pro account even though I have paid for a $5 submission. It just takes me around in circles.

Omg it just uploaded. On possibly my 35th attempt.

Great, just what the world needs, more Harry Potter!

I know! I can't wait.

Still a self-tape audition, they sent him some scenes to prepare and film then he did one that was just talking about himself. So the same as the open audition I think??
I didn't actually read the instructions for that as he was too old but I think all self-tape auditions are pretty similar as far as I can tell.
