Did anyone else get an audition for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony?

Scroll to see replies

I had my audition on Saturday and didn't get a response...

Feel a bit gutted to be honest, pretty sure I had more sense of time than several of the people there.

Haven't had a rejection email though - did anyone else get one?

Hey guys

I got a recall on Nov 27th at 9.30, it just says 'role specific' so it could be anything, however I'm pretty certain mine will be dance as that's what I do :biggrin:

If you haven't had your first audition yet, seriously don't worry about it! It was very fun and caters for all abilities, ages 18-70+! They said they have loads of categories that they need to initially put all 200 people into, so do not worry about dancing as they need so many different sorts of people.

Just wear trainers, and t shirt and something comfy on the bottom. You can take a coat/bag with you as they have coat rails to put things on, however personal belongings are obviously at your own risk.

Just have fun and good luck!

I don't think I've seen anyone say they have a rejection yet so really the chances are good. My view was that they were looking for a small number of people who they could obviously eliminate for whatever reason rather than everyone having to pass (if that makes sense!)

I can't remember if they said they would respond to us either way? Or was is just if you got a recall?

I was under the impression that they'd let you know either way within 48hrs. But I guess I was wrong.. :confused:

Heya I have been successful :biggrin:

I sent an e-mal to [email protected] and they responded, worth an e-mail as you might get a quicker response. I haven't got a date as yet. But at least I know I'm through the first audition anyway.

I emailed them and all they said was "Dear Christy
You should have received your recall, please do check the junk email in Hotmail. Many thanks" But I've checked everywhere and I haven't got an email :s

does anyone know anything regarding the list of special skills that they ask u at the end?...

basically im an ex-gymnast. so i can do some gymnastics but im just not the best in the world cos i havent done it for a few years... but say i put my name down for gymnastics then would they only consider me for a role with gymnastics or would they also consider me for a role with dancing (from the dancing that had been done in the audition)?

like i think i am better at dancing than gymnastics...so should i just stick to dance (and not say i have a special skill) or is it worth saying i have a special skill-- gymnastics (as i can still do a lot of the gymnastics stuff), but would you be considered in regard to both dancing and gymnastics, or just gymnastics if u say u have a special skill? (would they then discount the dancing that u had done earlier)?

sorry for the questions! x
