XD005 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Auditions are next month! I'm thinking about auditioning. I'm currently working a full-time job with only Sundays and Mondays off and work the morning shift on the weekends. I work in Glendale and can probably get to HHN on Saturdays and Sundays, probably by 7pm on Saturdays but I don't know how many people have a call-time that late. Perhaps for pool. Anyway, who else is auditioning? Any tips or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XNaut Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Last year, I saw a lot of empty Scare Actor roles and not enough people were getting cast in Pool so I think you coming in till 7pm would be fine and as for tips on auditions, auditions are random and that's just my opinion on auditions.

That's what I was thinking. Last year I did it was when This is The End was going on. I'll go ahead and audition in that case. Would be nice supplemental income. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a huge problem with last year. A LOT of the people who made the "Golden Ticket" cut at auditions never actually got cast for the event. Its frustrating seeing these mazes and SZs lacking in scareactors. I've got my audition booked for Thursday morning. Honestly, I'm not sure how well I'll do this year with wowing the "judges" because I lack the energy lol.. But we'll see.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvsimmon Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) There were so many posts about last year's auditions... there are barely any this year... why is that? I am auditioning this upcoming Friday morning. Even though we audition inside, it's supposed to be 107 degrees outside! Lawd. Anyone have any insight on how this year's auditions are going to go down? Love to hear what's going around the rumor mill, if that's even still happening.

ldh5086 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Auditioning tomorrow! Curious to see if the auditions are the same set up this year. Good luck everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD005 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 This year they're doing "scare the cone" and the monster transformation. I didn't get in this year. No golden ticket. But I think its because my availability was so restrictive. There was probably like 30 check-marks on that paper. lol Anyway good luck to everyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yep. Same process as last year. anyway, I got the golden ticket ....i nearly had an anxiety attack waiting for the numbers to be called lol... Also, i totally jammed my finger during the group scare & it still hurts like a b*tch! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XNaut Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I had so much fun at the audition. I passed and got my golden ticket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsapHorror Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hey guys so I got my golden ticket by my second attempt well second year actually an honestly the room is smaller this year in the audition process. Last year I heard there were only about 600 spots so thats a bummer. Hopefully I get a chance to get in this year for my first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the room used at the Sheraton was definitely smaller than the one at the Hilton. Although it is a smaller on-site hotel. It made it tough for that group scare. I feel like we all bumped into each other at least once. If they seriously only cast 600 people for the event, that would explain why it was so understaffed. Hopefully they are a little smarter about casting. The event needs A LOT of scareactors... actual roles & then "active back-up" (aka- pool) to fill in roles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsapHorror Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Wesker69 what number were you? I was #438 I audition at Friday the 6th an was the second batch. Btw I feel nervous cause I heard my friend got his email yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I was the first day (thursday). Not sure which group, hard to tell. Most likely one of the first 10 groups... But I was up against mostly returning scareactors so I had to really stand out. They said emails would be going out within 1 to 2 weeks (apparently paperwork will begin July 25th). So its possible that people have already started to get their emails since Auditions were Thurs-Sat. The waiting process is awful. Last year, they waited until 16 days BEFORE the event started to send out the "Thanks for auditioning, all the roles have been filled, but doesn't mean you're not cast. Additional roles are always opening up throughout the event" email to those that made the cut with a golden ticket. And as someone who attended the event multiple times last year, it was frustrating seeing so many empty spots knowing that a multitude of us could've filled those roles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsapHorror Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I guess there giving out the emails first to the veterans, I hope I get mines this week or next week before the 25th of July . Good luck to you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilesvision Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 First year auditioning, got my golden ticket but feel like I won’t get casted and don’t wanna get my hopes up and be disappointed:/. the anticipation is killing me. Anyone else feeling the same way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsapHorror Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Don't give your hopes up, its just the first week. The email can come up anytime an the casting is random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Actually its better to expect not to be cast for the event otherwise you'll go crazy waiting for the email that'll never come. Even returning scareactors are not guaranteed to be cast again. It all depends on what roles they need to fill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsapHorror Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So your saying there just filling out the roles then they will send the emails that you've been cast if not? Correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 That's pretty much how it works. They look at all the roles available, if you fit a specific role. They put you there. If you fit a few different roles, they cast you as "pool" (basically active back-up). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bggrenville813 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I've auditioned the past 3 years and got a golden ticket each time but never cast...never even got that email saying all the spots have been filled! I decided to not try this year, but I just got an email for another audition for scare actors 4'6-5'2 and 5'10-6'4 and since I'm 5'0 i'm going to give it a shot cus why not. Did you guys do the "scare the chair(cone)" again this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsapHorror Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We did scare the cone this year an Goodluck it's my second year an yeah not hoping this year as well kinda don't want to get in my mind Like I'm 5'9 1/2 so I don't think they would have a spot for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
