We had already auditioned Rebecca for the Role of Kate and really liked her. Jackie had scheduled 3 more people for Sunday. They were spread out unfortunately, from 11 to 5. Joyce could come after all, so 3 of us sat in.

The first Audition at 11am was Matthew. We didn't know what to expect from a kid really, but he seemed okay. He overacted expressions and didn't know the script very well but we could work with that and direct him probably. The audition lasted about 30 mins.

We had a break and then waited for Daniel to turn up for the role of the boyfriend. This is the guy who had our group arguing as to whether he was rude or not and had received a shitty email from our director.

He turned up and seemed okay, gave us a bit of input on the script and acted. Joyce and him apparently got over whatever (I was inside the auditioning room while they met actors outside and showed them in). It seems to me he gets a lot of real work.

We then waited for a few hours for the next appointment, a kid called George also auditioning for the role of James. In the pictures that we had seen on the talent website, he was very blond which didn't quite fit with the part, however when we met him he was less blond. He was also very articulate and knew the script and the character. He described what he thought the character was like - impressively and when he read the lines he did very well with inflections that suited what was being said. We asked him to put on expressions of how he might be feeling at certain times in the script, including one that is mildly blank but complete anger inside. He did that very well and believably. The audition didn't last very long because he sailed through it.

Unfortunately a couple of hours prior to him turning up Joyce had decided perhaps other projects would be served better if she went home. So our director missed the most pivotal interview. We caught it on camera but it was only a low-res point & shoot.
