Good Morning, World! #80. THE AUDITION ROOM.

[@sjoerdeltink]

“Busy, busy, busy making dreams happen.” made me crack up 😂😂

[@YoGemmy]

That phone call was the funniest thing I've seen all week. Many laughs!!!

[@lenaschwarz2516]

YoGemmy could have been the start of a comedy skit

[@lilymccormick7636]

anyone remember when Ollie said “what if we end up saying day 90”...... guys we’re ten away 😶

[@gracealice9176]

One of my favourite things about these is how Carrie always swirls around whatever she’s drinking in her cup :’) makes me feel like I’m rly having a nice casual morning chat with you guys! Much love, another great video ❤️

[@phoebe3428]

that phone call was brilliant 😭 a masterclass in improv ;))

[@lisak3257]

What happens in the audition room? - you go in and black out. Hahahaha I feel that. I even got anxious when Carrie got told to sit in front of the audition room😂😂😂

[@tss6295]

Auditions in the UK are SO DIFFERENT from auditions in the US! We have a few different types of auditions: open calls, Equity Chorus Calls, Equity Principal Auditions, and Appointments. I don’t have an agent so I’m able to go to auditions for Broadway and national tours and find all of the information on my own. I can also get audition appointments without an agent - you submit for it online and the casting director gives appointments. I’ve made a bunch of videos about the audition process in NYC on my channel, if you wanted to know more or see it in action!

[@rachelstrachan4119]

Was I the only person to think in my head "Oliver is going to say Elphaba in Wicked for this made up audition" and then he did hahah loved this insight!

[@katiemann8952]

Never comment on videos but that phone call is my favourite bit of KZbin I’ve seen in yeeeeears

[@RosieJAHastings]

Did anyone else start singing you can’t stop the beat when Carrie said NAACP 🤣

[@Elleenn_95]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one 😂

[@sophiehare3131]

Good morning, have a good day and remember to drink water 💕

[@orsisimon00]

Hey, I know its totally random but I've seen your comment on every video so far and its really sweet how you take the time to write them every single day. In the last couple of days I've found myself looking for your little greeting and message on every new episode, you are lovely xx♥️

[@jessiemnoconnor44]

I watch good mornings in the evening and good evening worlds in the morning. But hey they are still the best part of my day ☺️

[@beccamazzini]

me too! i love watching good mornings before bed

[@AmeliaBell28]

I love watching Carrie's face when Oliver is coming up with the end bit and says something weird, I KNOW I give my boyfriend that look whenever he's being a goof too 😆

[@sophiesmith1479]

I totally understand the always being late! I do dance and with one govening body that I compeat with has always always run late, like all the events are later than our schedule says to the point once our prize giving was supposed to start at 3:30 didn't start till 5, and ended at 9:15

[@marcossoto163]

I think this is the most consistent channel I follow. I live on West Coast of the US and my sleep schedule is a mess. And every day at exactly 2 a.m. I get the notification that another Good Morning vid has been uploaded. That’s also how I know I need to turn in and go to bed. Just wanted to say thanks for being the little bit of consistency in my day to day during all this mess that is the world.

[@xzonia1]

LOL. Loved the phone call y'all did! Pluckers, lol. :D

[@hannahbryan2949]

The agent phone call made my day so funny!!

[@tijay8507]

Yes it was informative and interesting ...thank you xxx

[@LolaGabriella]

I went to the Oxford Lyra audition and it rained so much and we queued for 4 hours then were in the room for 2 minutes 😂 it was a good experience of what to expect for open auditions - haven't done one since!

[@SamWest96]

I went to an open audition for Disneyland Paris twice and that was such a positive experience. But after I'd left I was waiting for my dad to meet me and saw the casting director smoking outside. I went over and asked if there was anything I could do to get cast the next time. I was wearing a closed coat and he named me by top colour and pattern and said I'm just too big. That was the slimmest I've ever been and that made the decision I would never go back. But I knew because of that 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@michaelaconti9540]

Okay but the "don't pluck your eyebrows if you don't have pluckers" is great advice. When I was like 12 I tried to do it with nail clippers and I ended up with a line through my brow. It was a rough time.

[@Fenyally]

that fake phone call cracked me up hahahahaha loved it!!

[@beccamazzini]

their role play was perfect. i feel like i learned so much in this video actually

[@bludelight]

This was a great conversation and I get actual joy from the advice that comes out of your mouth, Oliver.

[@brookecutter607]

Good morning 💛

[@rosadiaz1739]

thank you so so much for doing my idea this was really interesting and helpfull💖love you guys and these videos, and carrie i’m still in school so i don’t think that was me haha🤣🤣🤣xx

[@rosadiaz1739]

Alice Monaghan aha im not sure😂x

[@emmaweb2006]

I am sorry you so funny 😂 love all you vlogs xx send my love you and Carrie ps stay safe ❤️

[@notshortfunsized4948]

This is so interesting! I'm not an actor, but I find the process fascinating to learn about. I have a question about the readers you mentioned in auditions. Do they usually read their part of a script in an emotionless way, or do they try and act the part a bit? The former is more what I'm envisioning from little video clips I've seen in the past, but to me (again, not an actor), it seems like it'd be harder to act opposite a toneless reading than one in which they're giving you something to work with! Any insight you (or others) could share? xx

[@Liezjeuh]

Aaahhh love a good improv role play :p

[@wen_51]

I can't believe I'm here so early! It's 5 in the afternoon here in Taiwan :) Love you guys both soooo much ❤️

[@charlottecadman3499]

Just them describing this audition process is making me nervous and I don't even do auditions..

[@sophiesmith3195]

This was actually so interesting and useful thank you!xx

[@xAbbieCx13]

Harry Apps was my Marius in Liverpool, he was so good! 😊

[@louiseheginbotham7226]

Ollie you make me laugh each video with your Dad jokes 🤣

[@AlyciaDonlon]

I’m growing sunflowers in my back yard too!! They’re in a small pot at the minute which I think is bad but the stalks are about 20cm high so I’m really excited! Xx

[@TruthfromRuth]

Such an interesting video! Have to say though- I'm a Spanish teacher and in oral exams, I also want my students to do well!!!

[@OnlyOneTubing]

Awks Agent Conversations are hilarious.

[@theeleanorsimmons]

Love these videos! I know you've spoken a lot about the paths you both took to get into performing in musical theatre. I'd love to hear more about how you could progress your careers in other areas of the theatre, e.g casting, directing, choreographer, etc. - totally understand this might not be your expertise though. 💕

[@HarrietMaxwell.]

Awh I was at the Lyra auditions in Oxford! But we had to say our names and ages I think?

[@LolaGabriella]

Yep I went to them too, then they asked a couple of girls questions and one girl described a daemon as a pet. Then they picked out a few and the rest of us got given haribo and left. 11 year old me wasn't impressed 😂

[@dramaSam97]

I planted sunflowers two weeks ago, the birds ate most of them so I planted more yesterday - there is one sprout so far I hope the others make it too 🤞🏼keep us updated!

[@ThePartyiswithruth]

As a dancer it’s always fascinating to hear the actors side of the process!

[@michelleboon7646]

omg, Carrie would have made an AMAZING Lyra Belaqua!!!

[@mazmellem2773]

I was thinking she'd be a better Hermione Granger than Luna Lovegood.

[@Lic021]

Will the quiz stay up after? I'd love to do it but I'm hosting a quiz on Sunday night!

[@elsemieke21]

Good morning :) I have a question about the HP quiz: can I only watch it live, or will it be available to watch later on (and still donate of course)? Thanks!

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Feeling nervous just listening to the description of the process!! Auditions are so nerve-wracking. How do you cope with that?

[@emialice3825]

Busy busy making dreams happen 😂

[@jeanwebster9553]

Is this the same for well known actors?

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

🌻

[@westendlive8808]

Do people tend to get replies when they email in?

[@rosadiaz1739]

sorry this is very late i’m just rewatching some of these videos but no in the ones that i’ve emailed ( including this video ) i haven’t got replies they just answer it if they do it in a video

[@emilyorton8248]

I'm getting confused with the timings of these videos. I thought they were filmed the day before being posted? Yet, the question in the email is a response to last night's video, so are these videos now filmed on the day they're posted? So this was filmed today? I'm really confused 🤔🤯

[@katiemunro1887]

normally they are filmed the day before and edited during that day if that makes sense

[@rosadiaz1739]

i’m not sure, it was my question they answered and i emailed it yesterday so idk maybe it’s filmed today or it could be yesterday i’m not sure x

[@Mai2727]

Well last night’s video was probably recorded the day before yesterday. And this was yesterday.

[@criescutely5405]

Carrie could have played lavender brown

[@rubyanderson598]

Take a shot Everytime Ollie mentions Mormon or Carrie mentions Les mis😂

[@unclegingey4286]

Good morning ❤️ make sure you wash your tongue after licking an envelope 😊

[@isalsaurusthelemon6512]

👏👏👏

[@JamesWilliams-rp4ll]

Good morning everyone! I see that the title is in all caps and I freak out

[@alanmorris8783]

Is it the same process for “celebrities “? I’ve suffered ex-reality TV people, former pop stars and soap stars who have weak voices, so so acting and negligible dance skills. These were leads in big musicals (that Jonas dude in the big Les Mis anniversary for example). Are these guy short-cut to capitalise on their “fame”????

[@leahhannah8125]

Just the title of this video scares me 😳
