    You can also make a video of your acting and send it to him in the message. Do you have the email address?

    yeah i have an email address its katara_925@hotmail.com but i'm a little

    nervous about sending a video

    O.K. Just breath in and out. Now, guide your chi and make it flow inside your body, directing where you want it to go. ... I think he meant the e-mail to send the video. By the way, if you can, audition in person. If you can't, send a letter. Videos tend to be a bit revealing about your personal life, (ex. say you have a taoist sign,{not saying you do but pretend) and say the directors are prejudiced against taoists. As soon as they see that sign, they'll kick you out of their minds. {This is all hypothetical, and NO, I am not prejudiced against taoists, only blondes.}) So see if you can.

    Has anyone actually sent an audition to Kevin Huvane or the casting directors yet?
    If so, were there any replies.

    my friend (who IS Azula) and i have made audition videos, but have no idea where to send them to. Does anyone know where to send audition tapes? email, preferably :] Thanks for any info!

    As for the CGI topic...how do you think they will manage airbending? In the cartoon air is like white/blue whooshes, but obviously that would look silly in real life. After all, air is invisible. Thoughts?

    You'll probably hear a gust of wind and someone will fly back.

    I hope this movie comes out well, I'm already afraid of the Dragon Ball movie enough as it is. I just recently heard about the Avatar movie as well... man I'm slow XD

    They'll probably use that gassy warped effect like in the Matrix when the bullets are flying by. The Matrix movies actually have some decent bending effects. At one point, Neo punches the ground and the floor cracks and forms a wave in all directions. And... well that's all I got.

    Yeah, that sounds good. And for simpler things they'll just use really big fans. "Whoosh" sound effects + wave type, Matrix like effects + an assortment of fans = Airbending. I think water will be the toughest element to portray.

    Thank you sooo much for all your help. But I do have one question how did Ether Brent and Jonathan Nguyen audition or did they even audition? Were there already auditions being held somewhere? Anyway once I send the resume I think they will decide whether to let me audition or not. And I think I'll send a letter too. (You're right about the revealing thing but I still might make a video, maybe it will help me out.) Then all I can do is hope and pray that I get a chance to audition in person.

    All I know is that auditions must be sent to creativeartistagency@hotmail.com and that he only checks and replies emails with resume in the subject line, but don't take my word for it, its just what I read on a couple websites. So just to be safe send a resume with your video. Also some people think that this isn't official, but I'm still sending the resume and maybe a letter if I can get his address, (I'll do anything to get this part). And then if he likes your video he will invite you to a closed casting in November, but again its just what I read and don't know if its true or not.

    Anyway, If its true I hope to see you there in November LoL just kidding. Oh and if you don't mind me asking who are you auditioning for?

    GOOD LUCK I hope you and your friend make it!!!!

    thanks so much!! i'm not auditioning for anyone in particular, maybe suki? Or just an extra, I don't really care. It's my friend who probably has a good chance, I'm just here for moral support, haha. But she is too nervous about sending a video even though we have the email address to send it to now. she doesn't believe me that she looks like Azula...

    Are you actually sending the video to the email address? If you are could you please let me know how it goes, like if it's an authentic email? I'm a little hesitant about sending a video to an email that could be fake. I'm just so paranoid that my videos will become an internet joke or something.

    Anyway, thanks! and good luck, i hope you get the part as katara! It's always good to have the actress be a fan.

    a hotmail account? usually reputable casting agencies and studios or whatnot have their own offical email, and not a hotmail account. remember anybody with internet access can make a hotmail account. I'd be very cautious about sending personal information and a vid of myself to something like this. this smells like a scam/trick to me. If you ppls are really serious about auditioning for these roles, I suggest get ur parents involved, and let them help u. (believe it or not, they usually know a lot better than u ) I personally wouldn't send personal info to a strange/unknown email.

    Yeah when I first saw it was a hotmail account I was surprised too thats why I didn't send anything.

    But still I think you should be ok if you just send a resume.idk what do you think? Why couldn't they make the casting easier

    like hold auditions somewhere like LA or NewYork.

    Dear DrAvatar,

    PLEASE!! We need you!!! Come back to the forums; I've read your blog and I know you're extremely busy, but any info about casting would be so great. I really really really want this part as Azula, I check these forums every day hoping for some response. Sorry about this slightly psychotic begging message, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Or perhaps I'm just being melodramatic.

    Anyway, casting info would be MUCH appreciated.

    Thanks,

    AvatarHero's Anonymous friend

    katara_925@hotmail.com

    and

    creativeartistagency@hotmail.com

    so which is it?

    EDIT: okay, my bad, katara_925@hotmail.com isn't the audition e-mail so the other one is?

    Have your parents ever taught you caution. Idk when filming starts, but if you really want to try out, contact Nick. At least you'll be able to know that they are reputable and you can tell them. I would never send anything unless I know it would get to the person I want it to.

    Yeah DrAvatar we do need you!!! I am dying for this role and I'm not trusting that email, so don't send a vid. I just read this( like the email for the auditions) from like buddytv.com firstshowing.com ect. so I really don't know. And I thought I was so close too. Awwww man well I hope we hear something else down the road and if anybody knows anything about casting please please PLEASE tell us
