All the people that auditioned for our trailer had the opportunity to read over the lines we wanted to be spoken with certain emotion and we filmed a few different attempts but only one audition would be counted in the end.
Audition 1: Robert Byrnes
Robert had two attempts and didn't manage to finish the lines on either attempt.
His attitude towards his mother was exactly what we were looking for however his ability to improvise was minimal.
Audition 2: Carlos Pereira
Carlos also had 2 attempts and managed to complete his audition second time round. His ability to improvise was very appealing, as it allowed him to have his own take on our character's emotions. The only thing that was an issue is how quiet he was and his pronunciation wasn't overly clear.
Audition 3: Natalie Tomniak
We were giving some leway when it came to reading from the paper especially since we knew that the speech would be in voiceover format anyway, so learning lines wasn't neseccary for our trailer.
However Natalie did express some emotion and provided emphasis on some words but not exactly what we were looking for, as she didn't grasp the full frustration of our character.
Audition 4: Mia Finlay
Mia's audition was very promising. She had the confidence, she had all the neseccary emotion and the key improvisation techniques for our script.
Audition 5: Robert Eades
Robert's audition was also quite promising, he has the diction needed so that even if he wasn't making direct eye contact with the camera his voice could still be heard. He was able to grasp the mix of frustration and sadness he has regarding his mother and father. He also has the look of a character who has no problems but it's all on the inside.
Audition 6: Kadie Bardsley
Kadie was rather nervous before her audition, but we needed confidence. Kadie's audition was quite monotone in voice, not showing any change of emotion or expression which was unfortunate.
Audition 7: Lebonetse Khubamang
Lebonetse's audition was very well done. She was able to get in touch with her emotions instantly which is extremely useful. However her voice doesn't have much projection even in a completely quiet room, therefore meaning speech that has to be done outside or in crowded environments would prove difficult.
Audition 8: Caitlin Norbury
Caitlin didn't take her audition seriously and even after 3 attempts she was only able to complete one line inbetween laughter and jokes.
