Audition Ready

“The end result has by far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to hitting our deadline.”
— Amy Sankey, Co-Founder - Audition Ready

What began as possibly one day of filming, turned into crafting 150 films for the launch of the Audition Ready app. We worked with casting directors, acting and voice coaches, TV and Film directors, dialect and accent coaches, theatre directors, musical directors, leading actors, choreographers, dance coaches, agents and chaperones throughout the entire process, to help young talent prepare for screen castings and theatre auditions.

As the app is paid for, we can only show some of the content here, including the social media edits we conceptualised and cut, each with bespoke soundtracks to match the narrative and subjects personality.

Shot during CV-19, with all government and industry protocols strictly adhered to.

“Audition Ready is an invaluable resource: The more prepared one is for an audition the better, and the Audition Ready app is a brilliant addition to that preparation - helping young performers feel confident and enabling them show themselves at their very best. Not only do I wish I had Audition Ready available to me when I started out… I might well use it now!”
— Kerry Ellis, Actress and Singer
