Actors Access, LA Casting, Hollywood OS, and Casting Frontier are all reputable subscription services that post casting notices. You can also occasionally find casting notices here on Hollywood Mom Blog but ours are focused on children only and are free to the public.

Nick
27. Mar, 2010
I’d assume they’ll hit NY, right? Or Washington or Philadelphia? Somewhere around there, most likely. I’d also guess Chicago and Seattle, but those are just guesses.

“Great Open Call in FL! We did give out a few callbacks to kids who R right 4 current roles. We will keep all others in mind for new projects.”

We went to the open call in Chicago, my daughter did get an orange paper which meant a call back for the next day.

Bummer. Was number 150 @ the Miami audition. Thought I did pretty well, first time and all. But this is kind of getting my hopes down. Oh well?
I actually only saw one person with an orange paper. I got there at 7 am. Well good luck to her

Hi, I went to the Miami casting and got there around 8am. The lines were extremely long but the audition was sooo much fun. But I have to attempt my friend (who was there at 7am) and I did not see anyone with an orange paper but we were not focusing on anyone only our script, so I am not a good source on whether the orange paper means a callback. But, I know a friend in New York who got an callback a month later and the NIck crew told us they would call us. I am very confused. But I do have a question on my audition. I went in, did the script, and then she told me to do it as a five year old, then a ditsy girl ( I am a boy by the way..it was funny), then she asked me about my fashion blog, and then she asked me if I could sing ( I told her I don’t have a trained voice), and then she asked me to dance for her. IS THIS A GOOD THING?

Thank You!

The Orange Paper was only given to a small number of auditioners so that’s probably most likely why no one had probably seen ne one have it…but as far as callbacks go I’m not sure if they are still doing call backs for other auditioners w/o the paper or not…hopefully they will…but I wish everyone the best of luck! and congratulations to you son May!

Hi I was at the Miami audition with my son I was BACK in line (way back) and a friend I know was around number 30, no one saw any one with a orange paper ,I ask some other people that I know that went there and they told me the same thing. No one had seen any one with a orange paper for a callback?
Hollywood Mom

Congratulations to your son May – that’s awesome! And thank you so much for sharing your observations from the audition process with everyone. This is the sense of community I’ve been hoping to foster since the blog began. I love that our HMB readers are communicating with and helping each other. If you would like to write something about the weekend for Hollywood Mom Blog I’m sure the readers would love it!

Thanks May for clearing that up. Alot of people will appreciate the information since no one even knows what they were for. Good luck to your son.

My son was top 25 (I prefer not to say his actual number) we got there before 5:00 am. The orange paper was given to him because they wanted him back for a second audition. His orange paper had scheduled time to be back, initials of the person who saw his first audition. He was also given a different script to try to memorize. On Sunday there was a separate area for those who came in with orange papers. The orange papers were given to a Nick Crew employee sitting at a desk who then stapled the orange paper to their head shots which they had ready from the day before, kids were called in and their second auditions were taped. As I was sitting there I kept seeing lines of kids coming in with numbers over 1,000 the biggest number I was able to see was 1,599. While I was sitting there I saw only 2 more kids fresh from their audition that morning turning in the “Orange Paper”. I am new to all this, I do not know the regular procedures for call backs, perhaps they will still call back more kids after they review their notes and photos.

01. Mar, 2010
this question is for may, what number was your son?
angelina
01. Mar, 2010
sorry hollywood mom after I read it a second time I figured I asked the wrong question. The orange papers were given out to everyone who was in the line and the numbers were over 1000. not sure exactly what it said, but one of the kids were upset about having to come back the next day.
drama queen
01. Mar, 2010
a call back rite after their audition is kinda weird. wouldn’t they have emailed them or called by phone?
drama queen
01. Mar, 2010
is it possible that the orange paper wuz for ppl who cud not be seen on saturday due to the time and were told to do the audition on sunday
Hollywood Mom
01. Mar, 2010
That’s the impression I get from reading posts from those who attended the Miami auditions. Anyone who received an orange paper want to comment?
drama queen
01. Mar, 2010
if u did not get a orange paper does that mean that u did not get a call back?
May
01. Mar, 2010
Thank you for your prompt attention! Awesome! I would really appreciate any info as this was his first audition, and we have no idea of usual procedures. I would hate to hold on to false hopes.
If anyone has any info on call backs please let me know!
Hollywood Mom
01. Mar, 2010
Angelina – I was answering Nick’s questions about the open call castings coming to LA – doesn’t have anything to do with the Miami casting, just an additional casting location. =) I believe the next location is in Texas.
Hollywood Mom

Was anyone on the board contacted after call back for the Miami NICK Audition? If so, please post here for May and the others.
