Rod Azner from Live From Memphis has started an Auditions page where actors and performers can find a list of performances auditions.
He says: The goal is to help performers find out as much information on all performances going on in Memphis from dance to theatre to film to anything. I think it'll broaden each performer's repertoire and let them try new areas of performance.
I also think that this'll give those who hold auditions a broader scope of talent. And also it'll hopefully tap into those performers who haven't tried another genre.
Ultimately it'll no longer give people an excuse not to try out. In no way shape or form are we trying to "take over" auditions but more like to give everyone the chance to find good talent, from our largest company to the unknown filmmaker to street performers.
My favor I ask is that when you're having an audition shoot me an email and let me know. We'll handle it from there. Whether that be a full detailed email or just a heads up to check out your auditions page. There are a LOT of people and organizations that hold auditions in Memphis and we'd like for everyone's voice to be heard.
Rock On,
Rod Azner

Casting call for 12-16 year old girls Saturday: Coen Brothers film
From John Beifuss's story in GoMemphis:
The Coen Brothers — the Academy Award-winning filmmakers responsible for such modern classics as “No Country for Old Men,” “Fargo” and “The Big Lebowski” — are looking for a Memphis girl with “steely nerves,” a “straightforward manner” and, yes, true grit.
An open casting call will be held from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the East Memphis Hilton at 939 Ridge Lake Blvd. for the potentially star-making role of spunky young Mattie Ross, a lead character in the Coens’ upcoming remake of the famous 1969 Western, “True Grit.”
