Update: So many of you young actors have replied and asked questions about this post, so here’s an update. The Atlanta casting is at the 14th Street Playhouse, 173 14 Street in Atlanta 9 am to 12 pm. for ages 12-18 tomorrow, January 23, 2010. All children MUST be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. Bring a photo. Snapshots are okay.
There are more open calls coming, so if you don’t live near Atlanta, don’t panic. The next Nickelodeon Open Casting Calls will be held in Miami, Florida and in Austin, Texas. No dates are available yet. We’ll post more information as we get it. For any pressing questions, direct them via email to Nickelodeon at opencall@nick.com – good luck to all who audition and tell them the Hollywood Mom Blog sent you!
Yep. You read this correctly. Nickelodeon is holding an open call audition/ casting call for children & teens, ages 12 to 18, in the city of Atlanta, Georgia on January 23, 2010. I can only imagine how many young acting hopefuls are going to show up and what a mad house this promises to be, so go prepared for the audition and for a long, crowded wait. Some tried and true cattle call tips: Arrive well in advance; Bring ample supplies of water and snacks; Bring a change of clothes, coat and umbrella if necessary; Don’t forget your cell phone; bring a good book; a lawn chair and make sure you have enough change for pay street parking for at least several hours, if applicable. Last but not least – Good luck!
ah at last, I found this post once again. You have few useful tips for my school project. This time, I won’t forget to bookmark it. 🙂
hi….hopefully you will get this message. i am a 13 almost 14 yr old who wants to be a actor but it is really hard to get auditions for such a young age. but i hope that you will consider me i do have a picture for you to look at. just email me at dd10796@gmail.com i will promise to get back to you with the picture as soon as possible. oh and another thing….um could you tell me what the show/movie is about? please and thank you…p.s. i am very mature for my age (just saying)
For this casting call please contact Nickelodeon directly at OpenCall@Nick.com – your age should not be an issue as they’re accepting 12-18 year olds. Good Luck!

My son is 11-year-old, and will be 12 in four months…very mature for his age and top drama student at Davidson Fine Arts. Will Nick let him audition in Atlanta?
Hi Shannon,
Before driving to Atlanta, you may want to clarify the age question by contacting Nick at OpenCall@Nick.com. If they won’t take him yet, rest assured that there are more Nick Open Call Auditions taking place across the country throughout the year. Good Luck!
Do you know if they will be coming anywhere near northern california?
I just found out about this when my friend texted me about it. I want to go but I don’t know where it is. How many days will you be having auditions in this part of Atlanta Georgia? If you are having another audition please let me know at libertygirl97@gmail.com. I am 12 years old and love to act. I really would love to become an actress someday.

I was just wondering where you found this information and where we might be able to find it for more of them Nick auditions in the future at other location. Will you update it whn you know?
All NIckelodeon Open Casting information will be posted as soon as we receive it! Keep checking back for Audition locations and dates.

and what do i need to prepare for this audition? will i need to prepare a monologue or will it be a cold reading? Please reply! Thnx!
That information will be posted as soon as we receive it! Keep checking back for new Nick Audition locations and dates.
Does anybody know what we definitely need to be prepared for the audition? Do we nned resumes or head shots?
YES – Always take your headshot and resume to any audition.
We have to take them? How do we make them?
“If” you do have head shots, then you should bring them. If you do not have head shots, bring a couple of good snap shots with you. If you have a resume, bring it. If you don’t have a resume, make one. List all of your experience, education and skills. For an example of a resume, here’s my daughters: http://www.lacasting.com/jordanbobbitt
What else do we need to carry? Should we memorize a monologue? And if so should we memorize a dramatic monologue or a comedic monologue.
Also do we need to have a song prepared?
should we have a song or a monologue prepared?
