My audition video

Recommended Posts

If anyone is interested, I shot an audition video (purely in the hope that I could get Nina Gold to view it) for Game of Thrones. I shot it outside Warwick Castle! Ha.

I know I'm not entirely suited to all of the characters, but these were just the best choices in terms of characters with lots of dialogue.

Here it is:

Thoughts are most welcome… but go easy on me! :)

I thought you nailed it as Darion, pretty decent as Aegon and Quentyn too. Good luck!

Thanks, dude, much appreciated.

Yeah, I'm definitely too old for Aegon as he is in the book and the sort of cocky, stroppy teenager thing doesn't quite translate when a guy in his late twenties is playing it! But I figured they might age the character up in the show!

Wow, I usually see these vids and shrug them off but I have to say I would be more than pleased to see you on the show! That was excellent! You have a lot of talent, best of luck, ser. :thumbsup:

Thank you so much for your support, guys! :)

If you liked it, please do comment on the YouTube video. Only if you want to. I would never usually canvass for compliments, but this means a lot to me, and if the casting team happen to stumble across it, fan support wouldn't do me any harm! Thanks!

I'll be spitting if you don't get noticed. You've got to be. If you're on the show, I'll be ecstatic. Good luck!

Thank you so much! It's going to be difficult to get spotted, mind. I suppose if you wanted to help, you could always e-mail Nina Gold's casting department to point it out to them...! :dunno:

Yeah, it's pretty damn difficult. I auditioned too, actually, but it was too late- the character had been cast. I'll try my best with the email.

Thank you. Did you actually audition as in go in to see Nina Gold? For which role? I can't even get through the doors!

Oh, gods, no! I see the doors as I'm like "Well, that's it, I'm finished, let's go."

I'm the same as you, with just a video. I was going to try out for Meera.

I'm not sure I get you. By "get through the doors" I mean I haven't been called in to audition. If I was, I would definitely walk through them!

Oh, aha. I went to the audition- I just gave up as soon as I got there, because I'm a coward.

You should definitely walk through the door, I'm not as good an actor- I knew I wouldn't get it. You would actually have a chance!

Well, thank you! That's very kind of you! But you were lucky to have been called for an audition. Even getting called to Nina Gold's office is the hardest part!

Okay, so I've had some good news on this... my audition video featured in an article in The Huffington Post about "Five Entrepreneurial Film Professionals". You can read the article here: http://www.huffingto..._b_2759581.html

All very good, but I still need your help. It's my belief that casting for season 4 will start within the next couple of months and I am going to try my hardest to get Nina Gold to view my video. To do that, I want to make the video unavoidable for her, and that means as many views, comments and likes as possible would be a great help. If you want to help, please share the

with as many people as you can; tweet it, share via facebook... anything. I wouldn't usually ask for help in this way, but this is my dream production and all I want is an audition - the chance to convince them.

It's not as if I'm some crazy fan who wants to be in the show - I'm a professional actor with a good deal of experience behind me, who just happens to be a huge fan of the books and the show.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Great stuff! I'm really determined to play Mya Stone and I live in the Welsh Valleys and I was planning to make a video audition walking in the mountains at one point.

Best of luck to you!!! Already liked and favourited.

Thank you!! If you are a social networker, tweet, facebook share... :) Follow me, too, and I'll stay in touch.

Hey, good work on the article. You're getting there. I've posted your video here and there, eg Twitter, if that's alright.
