Manchester and London: Day One!
Post categories: Behind the scenes
| 19:13 UK time, Monday, 15 February 2010
PHEW. We've just finished filming Day One of the London auditions and I am officially... POOPED! Err, or something less disgusting sounding. It's been an amazing day: there's been tears, laughter and a light sprinkling of snow. What more could you ask for??
Highlights today include hearing someone's made up "sob story" about how they deserve to get the part because their teddy fell down the side of the bed; meeting two best friends from Brighton... both of whom were called George; and the moment I scared a boy because I talked so loudly.
Last Friday saw us venture up to Manchester and Jimmy 0010 (offa YouTube) popped by to say hello. He did his very own 'audition' which'll be on The Cut Special tomorrow at 5:19pm on
www.bbc.co.uk/switch it's an interesting one, so make sure you tune in... ;)Well, that's pretty much all the news for now - but just to let you know, all the judges are sooo impressed with the amount of talented people that have auditioned already, so really well done to everyone that has attended.

PS. The judges are all busy watching the uploaded auditions now - you'll know by tomorrow evening if you've got a recall.

Also, do those who have callbacks now know? Or have the emails not been sent out yet because we were told sometime in the next 24 hours...

And now I've read something else saying the deadline was at 6pm. I cant believe it! This is really not fair! Will we get another chance seeing as the info we were given was wrong?

However the casting director did call me back personally, after my improvisation, to ask if I had an agent and how old I was. I kind of gathered that I may be suitable for a different role. Is there any chance I could be put out of my misery and tell me if I have a shot at another role or not? I have been praying for two whole days now and I keep checking my phone and making sure the lines free and worrying if you had my details! It's driving me bonkers! Please let me know if you can
Thanks,
Ravi

Ravi - we've got your details and will be in touch if a role for you comes up! But remember, this could be a long way into the future and we can't guarantee that we'll be in touch. But please don't be downhearted, you obviously did really well, so keep at it and well done!
