WAITING !!!

Post by 1ofeach »

Hi all,

Please someone put me out my misery my son had a casting last week, the agency say they have not heard back about any of the kids yet, but I see from Facebook that the company are holding more castings tomorrow for the same role, I am trying to kid myself that maybe as the casting was on a snowy London day, lots of kids could not make it so they need to see more before they choose, is there an amount of kids they need to see before they decide? or am I just living in hope LOL I should probably realise if they are seeing others he has not got the job :(

Welcome to the waiting game :( Which company is doing the casting,what is it for , had they already scheduled tomorrows castings prior to seeing your son ? Sometimes these people see hundreds of applicants and then go for someone seen right at the beginning of the casting process, more common in films.
Wouldn't give up hope entirely and fingers crossed for you.

Hi, my 2 son's are going to a kinder casting tonight..its for a tvc..not sure if its the same one or not...the shoot is 4 days next week. I know they are only seeing kids tonight whose LEA's have e-mailed to confirm they are happy to issue the licence at short notice.
Even if its the same...it doesn't mean they won't pick a child from their first casting. I do know they are making their decision tomorrow morning...so if none of us have heard by midday we know its a no :cry:

Ahh thank you for letting me know, how do you find out this stuff. I have not heard about the licence thing, my LC are usually good but not sure if anyone has asked them? At least we will know tomorrow, hopefully they will want lots of boys hee hee, I cant see how its filming for 4 days tho, as it was not that much to do ? lots of luck to you as we are probably out of the running now as I doubt they would see more if they liked my ds ;)

When they spoke to agent about kids they wanted to see for casting yesterday...the agent had to confirm in writing from each child LEA that they would issue a licence at short notice...which many LEA's replied No!! We are lucky..our LEA do everything via e-mail so can issue licences very quickly!
Anyway, we've not heard and i'm sure the agent said they'd know by 11am if its a yes...so at least i can forget about it rather than hang on for days/weeks like with some!!

I know it was filming for about 4 days but I think that was this week, They showed a video of a boy and his Mum with a Kinder egg at the casting, and my ds had to audition with Mums. Is that what you had to do ? x

Brings back memories of a casting my son went to for Kinder when we lived in Czech Republic. Kids they chose in the end for that campaign lived in Austria!!
