Screen Daily is reporting that open auditions for the part of Lyra in the upcoming His Dark Materials film will be held. The producers say they are looking for a girl “who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature” and say that she need not have any previous acting experience.
Auditions for the role will be taking place solely in England: at Cambridge, Oxford, Kendal and Exeter. The auditions will be held during the first two weeks of this April. A girl between the ages of 9 and 13 is being sought, allaying fears that Lyra's age would be raised for legal or moral reasons.
For those going: We'd like to cover the auditions here on BttS as fully as possible, so if anyone actually going to the auditions is interested, we'd love it if they could tell us of their experiences – how they convinced their parents, what the queue was like and perhaps even taking a few photos. If you are planning to go to the auditions and are interested, then you can email us here. Your stories would be featured here after each of the auditions.
Details:
The casting calls will have open queues in the morning lasting from 10 o'clock until 12 o'clock and will end at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The exact locations are:
- Cambridge's Corn Exchange (4 April)
- Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (6 April)
- Oxford's Examination Schools (11 April)
- Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (13 April)
Yh I had IT first lesson today. Meh, not 2 bad. Ahhhhhhh did I tel u all about my first GCSE test soon … ? Can't remember … :wassat:
Good luck with the audition (for the 1,000,000th time! ) :laughing:
what's IT?
i'm procrastinating…it's bad lol
What are u procrastinating?
IT stands for "information technology" aka ICT which stands for "information communication technology" … basically computers. But like a lesson sorta thing. Why, what do you call it in the US?
ohhh makes sense
i think they call it IT at other schools, but it's just tech(nology) at my school
….
well thats not really what i meant..>.< you know IT every month, women… it sucks..
…
Oh! :laughing: Whoops no-one i no really calls it that … mostly just "my time of the month" … and yes, I fully, 100% agree with u that it sucks!
hahahahahahaaaaa we're brilliant ppl lol
and yes, it does indeed suck majorly, my greatest sympathies
agree with THAT!

Urgh. Just got back from my m8s house – it was her fifteenth birthday party. I drank loads, had the time of my life, then threw up on her couch … urgh. I wasn't the worst, though. One of my m8s threw up like 15 times … I. Feel. So. Terrible. I don't even remeber a thing. All that I do was that I was hugging everyone I saw and offering them my drink, then it got taken away by some boy :angry: only coz I'd had too much though lol. Then I remeber short convos with anyone I saw, and then I just lay on my m8s sofa and threw up. Nice. (sarcastic) It takes such long 4 me to type atm, I actually have to think about what keys I'm pressing. Oh yeah I'm at my computer now coz I came home to go to sleep, but all the beds r taken. My mum (mom) is in hers, my sister in mine, my brother in the guestroom, and some m8s of my parents are in the living room so I have no where to go! My dad answered the door and was pretty annoyed but not angry, and just gave me some water and now I'm here. I honestly don't recommend drinking, unless u guys meh ……? I'm not sure what things r like in america, and I know Emily wouldn't coz ur only year eight, but how about you Missy-me?
Oh yh and I'm going to Amsterdam!!! Not sure when though …
– so not such – :wassat:
noppe i don't drink.. i don't even like it..:S
but lol.. you know what ive never been in A'dam!:P
i cant stand achohol
i can be around it, i just dont really drink it
like, im half italian, so of course i'll have sips of wine and whatever, but i dont really ever ever get smashed

Cool missy-me, you found another audition? You'll get one eventually! I heard even the best actors only get like 1 in 20 of all jobs they apply for … so any one now will be yours!

*itas in english..:P*
Dreams,
Odly as they are
they are there, every night
but we can't catch them
and we can't see them
we feel them, every night
to be forgotten in the morning,
we keep forgetting what they try to say to us
every night again
We still don't know
the only thing we can do is wait
wait for the night to come
and let dreams come to us
every single night again…
lol! Its kinda not nice..>.< I wrote it last night woth another one (that one reaallyy sucks)
hehe does someone else write poems? *I never actually..:P very sometimes..:)*
