The highly-anticipated Disney+ Percy Jackson reboot is officially underway as author Rick Riordan announced a preliminary casting call for the titular role. On April 27, Tuesday, Riordan posted on his official website that they are looking for an actor who can “play 12” – Percy’s age at the start of the series.

The first of the book trilogy, The Red Pyramid was released in 2010. As the announcement has only just been made, we’ll be lucky to see the first of the exciting new trilogy arrive on Netflix before 2022.

Netflix officially has movies in development based on the popular book trilogy The Kane Chronicles, written by renowned author Rick Riordan, who is also known for writing The Percy Jackson novels as well.

Yeah they do, and they are soooo cute! In the Sea of Monsters Annabeth gives Percy a little peck on the cheek, and two books later in the Battle of the Labyrinth Annabeth gives him a good luck kiss. The two finally get together in the fifth book, The Last Olympian.

Disney is calling for actors who can play the role of Percy and you can send in your audition tape to the link below for consideration. To audition, you must be able to “play 12”. If you can, choose your favorite passage from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series and film yourself reading it.

If you wish to submit a self-tape for consideration for the role of Percy Jackson, yes, you can do that. Here is the link with all the information you need: PercyJacksonOpenCall.20thTelevision.com. This is the only means through which unsolicited audition tapes will be considered. Exciting times ahead, demigods!

Buckle up, demigods! Yesterday, Percy Jackson author Rick Riordan revealed that the beloved fantasy franchise will be making its way to the small screen in a Disney Plus live-action series.

What is the best backdrop for a self-tape? Self-tape backgrounds should be a solid, neutral color like white or gray. (Several industry experts also recommend blue.) You can go one of two routes: Use a blank wall in your home, or purchase a professional screen.

Remember that one benefit of self-taping is that you have the room and time to make your audition perfect. Eye Line: Your eye line should be as close to the camera as possible. Also, please look at the camera and do not film in profile. Again, CDs want to see your performance, not your directorial debut.

Self-tapes are what many actors and casting directors refer to when an audition is done through digital casting–rather than trying out in person, performers submit video of their audition. For some actors, this can be more daunting than an in-person audition while for others, it can be less stressful.

Self tape audition without a reader? It happens. With Slatable you can record audio of the other characters and play them back when you record a Take.
