Questions about casting...

[eglencross95]

Hi guys,

So I finally decided that I want to work in the parade/ character part of DLP!  YAY!!! 
I have to wait until the next time auditions happen in London, but I have a few questions...

I have quite a few scars on my arms...which came from a result of being abused by my old flatmates...
Would that be likely to effect the outcome of my audition?
Would I be allowed to use cosmetic make- up to cover up these scars?
Is there any scar treatment that any of you would recommend?

Thanks

Hi! I don't think you should worry too much about your scars! Just keep in mind that you probably won't be able to be a face character (although it depends on how bad the scars are). At my audition last March a girl asked about covering up scars or tattoos with make-up and the casting director explained that they just can't do that because of things like rain etc. BUT you should definitely go and audition!!, You could be casted for character/parade performer and even if you don't get through the experience is amazing   

Good luck!!

Any moisturiser with vitamin e in would help the scars fade a little. I'd say face character is unlikely, but you should never give up on what you want
