THE CLIQUE MOVIE


Question Posted Saturday July 28 2007, 7:06 pm

omg. im black and i wanted to tryout for it since i really love the books, but idk because like none of the characters are black in the story. um theres 5 winners and the remaining auditions are only for claire and massie right? i wanted to be like Layne or something.. since they never really said what race she was. ugh so pretty much i should give up right? since massie and claire were both described as being white. ughhhhhhhh or can you tryout for other charas like layne? or extras in the movie? i need info! btw im 13.

of course you can try out!!! you may not get te part your are wishing for, but if you wanna be in, deff go for it... act your little hard out and hope for the best!!! race should not be an issue, and if for the casting diretors it is, then i say they need to get their head out of thier asses cause we live in the 21 centry... i say go for it, have fun, and even if you dont get a part, dont worry, there are still many things to try out for =)

They probably wouldn't cast you, but it's worth a shot. Auditioning is pretty simple, so what can you lose? Also, even if they don't choose you for Massie or Claire, they might choose you for another part. It's far from uncommon for an actor to try out for a part different from the one he or she ends up with. Send in a tape and see what happens. If they really like it they might just give you a call.

I'm not a casting agent, but I know that race isn't always important to the studios. Several shows I like initially had scripts with characters in it meant to be a specific race, but when the show was being cast they chose an actor/actress of a different race just because they liked him/her and liked what he/she brought to the show. As someone who writes a lot, I can tell you from experience that a character's race very rarely plays a crucial role in written material.

If you want to audition for a part, my advice is to go for it. If you truly want to be an actress, you're going to have to go to tons of auditions and be told "no" a bunch of times. You better get used to it now. If you only go to auditions you think you'll be given a "yes" at, you're going to be very disappointed. Use this audition as a learning lesson to gain more experience from. It will only make you better at your craft and help you be more prepared for future auditions.

Good luck and break a leg! :)
