Game of Thrones audition

[Philipygao]

backroom cast coach?

[Isliandria]

Great Audition video!! I wish I could be in this series <3 It's so beautiful and different =)

[nikitas1000]

You'd make a good Hodor.

[bunnierabbits]

porn at best.

[AntiXaldin]

I liked you Jaime Lannister very much, your interpretation of the character was spot on, IMO. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for your Theon Greyjoy. Theon is arrogant, yes, however he is more the playful type, I think. You made him sound as if he was angry with everyone.

Well, good luck with getting a role and to any future endeavours.

[UndercoverShopper]

I can see you as Theon Greyjoy 

[couldcause]

I don't recognize a lot of this dialogue, did you write it yourself?

[PhoenixStallion]

@couldcause No I didn't, it was from the Sides (audition script) that were provided for the audition.

[AMcGrath82]

A little advice for an actor willing to make the effort: there's a short book by a man named Richard Boleslavsky called "Acting: The First Six Lessons." It teaches you how to set yourself apart from other actors who can "nail" an audition, primarily by teaching necessary techniques that casters know to look for. Many are considered "secrets" to classically trained actors like period-adaptation and rhythm counts, but when trained people see that during an audition it makes a huge difference.

[gaidenblade]

Very nice, you would make a very good jaime, but he does have long golden blonde hair if I remember correctly?

Although theon does have the cocky attitude you portrayed I always thought he came across much more rough. Good acting though. Good Luck.

[swinderby]

I'm afraid I could barely understand what you were saying. Too much mumbling.

Not a bad effort though. The accent wasn't bad.

[bsbeset]

Take it down a notch, Kemosahbee! Your eyebrows looked like they were doing gymnastics, and you really shouldn't attempt an accent foreign to you again until you hire a coach. An American actor portraying a character with an English accent should sound like an Englishman... you on the other hand sounded like, well, an American doing a poor imitation of an English accent.

[ThePsychoMike]

@bsbeset Good thing Westeros and England aren't even on the same planet.

[bsbeset]

@ThePsychoMike Really!? Well someone should tell the production crew from HBO that they've got the actors affecting the wrong accent then... guess they're going to have to scrap all the film they currently have in the can and reshoot the whole darn thing. Anyone know what a proper accent of the Seven Kingdoms should sound like? I'm guessing a cross between Venutian and something from the Andromeda galaxy, no?

[ThePsychoMike]

@bsbeset I don't know if you've heard an English accent. 

A true English accent--not an American attempting one.

They and what the actors of ASoIaF have completely different accents.

[sirgarycoleman]

Terrible.

[nimarii]

Not bad! I'd be curious to see how you would do as Bronn, Davos Seaworth, or Jaqen H'ghar...

[sebzmc]

Jaime was very good

[shauwn78]

Honestly brotha, I think you nailed both parts very very well! Only problem is those characters appearances don't really match yours. Jaimie Lannister is blonde, and has a gay pretty boy kind of face.. Theon was like 20 I believe and was very thin..

I'm sure you would make a good Ser Ilyn Payne or maybe even Bronn! Good luck

[kellina84]

not bad, you definately got talent! keep those fingers crossed. . .. I have a feeling

[crucifytheswine]

lil to thick to be theon.

[jasonxxxvoorhees]

there hasnt been a direwolf south of the wall for 2-haha-hundred years....

[Xelnod]

oh neither he could be Jaime. Just too ugly, sry

[Xelnod]

there's no way he could be Theon. Theon was THIN! not that fat, THIN! and ironic.

[PKtheFirst]

Janos Slynt anyone?

[randal1231]

why is acting so hard for people? This guy......ekkkk

[ventricity]

i don't think you fit for theon or jamie. but i do think you are have lots of charisma and that you should play a more comedic/self righteous character, or even some sleazy over the top guy. there are lots of parts that fits you i think. i would love to see that.

[neverhoodyn]

I think you did a great job. Hope you get the role.

[ShmeeTeeVa]

i can see you really tried... well done. having seen this i think i will go and live in a cave and wait for ADWD.

[ShmeeTeeVa]

i can see you really tried... well done. having seen this i think i will go and live in a cave and wait for ADWD.

[IronbreakerFTW]

I thought that was amazing dude! Did you get given any roles in the series?

It could be said that the performances were a "little over the top", sort of like a comic book villain....but as I read the books, both Theon and Jaime struck me as exactly like that - both outrageously smug and over-confident most of the time. And I though you were able to deliver the more serious lines aptly, too. Well done, and good luck getting a role.

[PhoenixStallion]

@IronbreakerFTW Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It really means a lot that you enjoyed my performance! I'm still waiting to hear if I have gotten anything. I heard they were casting and re-casting, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!

[piklet]

I liked both his Theon and Jaime, too bad he doesn't really look the part for Jaime but who knows.

[CatSqrrlGrrl]

Your expressions are way too hilarious to be taken seriously. Sorry. XD

[PhoenixStallion]

@CatSqrrlGrrl Well, at least I was able to amuse you! :)

[littleeggy]

Hmmmm definitely not the Jaime I imagined... maybe Theon but not Jaime.

[navynat124]

He'd have been a fail Jamie, the accent sounds too fake

[GeorgeZupster]

epic fail

[spocchiosa]

@GeorgeZupster

....play it better if u can...asshole....

[GeorgeZupster]

@spocchiosa

Actually I can

[mogadishusneeze]

D'ya know what?

Nice one, fair play to ya:)

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

jaime didn't use a spear to kill aerys

[kaosdevice]

Wow, nailed the Theon.

[PKtheFirst]

Liked your Theon, that was good.

[postal83]

hey thats pretty good, too bad it didnt work out. good luck in the future

[artemis53]

Have you ever been in anything?

[PhoenixStallion]

Yeah, I have been in a few films, couple of commercials, Web Series' and some theatre.

[artemis53]

Cool, good luck in the future.

[PhoenixStallion]

Thank you very much!

[greenbrad182]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you become to getting into job positions? Did you move to New York and or California? What advice would you give to a person who wants to be an actor?

[TheDirewolf1317]

You seriously do a really good job! Too bad you're not in the show. Well, maybe for the other books....

[pgg1888]

mm other guy as a lot better he should get the part stop doing the eyebrows.

[killjoi19]

lmao

[huckincupcakes]

EXCELLENT. I'm thinking of doing a faux audition for my own entertainment. I haven't seen any girl auditions yet, it's making me feel like I need to fill the void. Of course I'm not a professional actress or anything but this seems like good fun!

[SparrowJackCapt]

gordo!

[IveBeenBrainwashed]

Oh that's you? I thought this was a real audition and a professional actor. The Jaime was great. Very similar to how I imagine him to act.

[PhoenixStallion]

Thanks! Yup that's me, I am a professional actor and this was my video submission

[Spurs19]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[muggel]

You look rather old for Theon, and Theon is way skinnier. And for Jaime? Come on...

[Spurs19]

lol. this is hilarious!! I love these videos parodying how shit the actors are in these crappy fantasy films!

[acyzjpb]

the best bit is on 27 seconds when the guy in the background says there are two loose in the realm and he arches his eyberow up ...loved it

[Spurs19]

hahahaha..your right...this guy is genius. ..I don't know how he can keep a straight face the whole time....when he is holding that chalice thing...hahahahah

[rozMexicano13]

Wow his greyjoy arrogance flows with the script.

[acyzjpb]

lol i hope ur taking the piss

[PhoenixStallion]

What?

[balgus22]

He cant be Jaime. He is too manly. He and Cersei are twins and GL finding a hot chick who look like him.

[jumperchik1919]

this was great!! obviously he couldnt be jaime cuz he doesnt look anything like him but he does seem like a really good actor and i could see him being theon or a young robert baratheon

[jumperchik1919]

this was great!! obviously he couldnt be jaime cuz he doesnt look anything like him but he does seem like a really good actor and i could see him being theon or a young robert baratheon

[toroga1]

I like the last one the best as well. Have you read the series or are you just interested in the part?

[PhoenixStallion]

Thanks! Actually i'm a big fan of the series so when I heard they were making the books into a series I had to audition! Are you a fan of the books too? Now i'm anxiously awaiting Dance for Dragons!

[humanexcrement123]

hes too large to be theon, he'd be a good jamie tho

[Zubirrex]

Good job! I hope you get Theon, I think you'd be perfect for it.

[PhoenixStallion]

Thank you very much! Theon is a great character, I'd love to play him!

[TheDirewolf1317]

Great job! I loved your 2nd Jaime best, i think you captured the emotions well! I liked your use of the Goblet! Good luck to you! I really hope they at aleast call you in!

[PhoenixStallion]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the Goblet, I was debating whether or not to use the prop or not, so I'm glad it came off well!

[imbatman505]

maybe Gendry the Bull?

[trendykendy]

a tad old for gendry i'd say, i'm stickin the to renly, i think renly would be such a good fit

[imbatman505]

trendykendy: yeah youre right. I had forgot how young those bastards are supposed to be. not knockin' this guys efforts but visually it's hard to see a role for him. thats why i mentioned Gendry because of the black hair, bulk body, and square jaw.

[toroga1]

I think he's too old to be Gendry?

[Staad1]

Great job, I liked Jaime the best. However I do think you'd be best suited to someone a bit more masculine than either Jaime or Theon. Not sure who.

[PhoenixStallion]

Thanks! I know Jaime is supposed to be rather pretty boy like, but I like the character so much I figured I'd try my hand out for him.

[jonasbrosroxmysox01]

Wow! Those were really good! I think the most powerful was the last Jaime one! You don't really look like Jaime but I think you captured his smugness and inner anger/resentfulness very well. Your Theon was how I pictured him too. Well done!

[belle171717]

They were all really great! I loved your eyes in them alot. They were very expressive. I could definitely see you as Theon, maybe Renly or Jaime if they colored your hair! Awesome job! :-)

[missmiggy007]

I liked the last one the best. Great job! I hope they call you in!

[rsuri2]

Nice work, James!
