The Colorado Film School periodically holds open auditions. These are normally held in-person in the Colorado Film School building; however, due to the prevalence of COVID-19 in our area, we are hosting Open Auditions online this semester via Zoom app. Actors will receive a Zoom link during registration. Actors willing to work on student projects are welcome to attend. Register and attend online to show us what you’ve got!

SAFETY UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, we are going host this event ONLINE via Zoom this Spring 2022. For all face-to-face meetings, rehearsals, and during production, all actors, students and staff will be required to wear facial coverings while indoors. We will permit removal of the mask during performance, only, during camera roll.

These auditions are used to create a pool of talent that students may use to help cast their projects. Neither party should feel obligated to work with the other.

Open Auditions are not for any specific student project. These are 1-2 minute monologues recorded live and posted to FSGreenlight.com for student access only. At least one headshot is required. All monologues must be recorded during Open Auditions event. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot accept self-tapes.

In addition to CFS Open Auditions, individual student projects also hold casting calls to fill specific roles for their films on these dates. These “satellite” auditions are hosted the same day and often the same timeframe or shorter–we will provide the details on where to go for those when you complete your monologue for our database. If you are interested in participating, please be prepared to provide a headshot and resume electronically to the project’s casting directors.

Actors of all ages and levels are welcome. Student directors are looking for a wide variety of roles for upcoming projects and some roles may receive compensation.

To continue to be included in our database, please attend Open Auditions for each semester you wish to be considered.

SAG-AFTRA actors are encouraged to attend.

The next Open Auditions event is scheduled as follows:

To audition, you must sign-up online.
Registration will open three weeks prior to the start date.
No walk-ins will be permitted. If all times are full, please notify Jennifer.Scott@ccaurora.edu. Please know that cancellations are common up to 30 minutes prior; we invite you to keep an eye for an opening in that case.
Highly recommended to log on 15+ minutes early. If you miss your time, join the Zoom as soon as you can before the event ends!

How this event works:

Actors will first be guided through screen prep with Head of Acting Galina Boulgakova to practice slating and check your lighting and background.
Actors will then perform their monologue for our database which our students access year-round.
After performing for our database, actors may elect to stay and audition for currently-casting student film projects for a chance to perform within 1-6 weeks of this event! These cold-read auditions can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on how many films you wish to read for and how popular the particular film is (waiting lines are inevitable for these). If you elect to audition for student projects during this event, we suggest signing on as early as possible to give you time to audition for each film of interest. We will provide character descriptions of the currently-casting projects while you wait to perform for our database.

WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR AUDITION:

• Prepared 1 to 2 minute monologue

Please send your most current headshot and resume to auditions@coloradofilmschool.co before your audition and have a digital copy available to send electronically when you login for your audition.

This information is needed for your profile. If you are unable to produce a headshot or resume, your profile may be incomplete in our database. If you already have a headshot and current resume in FS Greenlight, no need to send it again.

Follow us on our main Facebook page or our auditions Facebook Group, Galina’s Casting, for announcements as times are posted and available for each sign-up period. A link to sign up for auditions below will become active once registration opens.

Actors who auditioned within the last two years can login to their account to review their profile, update headshots and resume, and respond to student requests within our Headshot Database.
