WKU Film Self-Taped Auditions
WKU Film is always in need of actors to cast in student films, and this semester is no exception! Shooting dates and casting breakdowns are listed below.
Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned professional, we want to see you! Actors of all ages and types are welcome to submit. Student directors are looking for a wide variety of roles for their projects. Submitting a self-taped audition is one of the best ways to be seen by our student directors. If one of our directors thinks you’re right for their role, they’ll contact you for a follow-up reading for their specific film.
To prepare for your self-taped audition, please choose one of the acting sides (i.e. short scenes) from below based on your specific age range. You will need to upload your completed audition video to our form or to YouTube or Vimeo and provide us with the link during registration. (Private links are fine.
