ok, i didn't get to hear it, cuz the player didn't work, but here are some tips. allways know when ur on, ur lines, and makeup. make it look real, not as if ur acting. and all u need to do is practice ur british accent. i'm american, and when i moved form germany to here, i had all my class mates fooled that i was british for two months. emma watson wasn't british, she came from ohio! so just work on those things, and reply back  ;D
-emily
ps, where and how do u audition?

Not true, Emma Watson was Brittish, she said that the only non-Britt was the Director in an interview.

Plus, they're only taking in Brittish ppl, not just 'coz of the accent.. dunno why, but that's what the Producers said for the first movie, don't see why they would change it for the second...

thats totally dumb!!!! arrrrrrrgh!!!
not fair! they may find a waaaaaaay better hermione or sumthing, and that person might not be brittish!!
i'll just give them an excellent report why they should allow other countries to audiiton, not just brittish ppl, cuz it aint fair. i'll tell them that im canadian at the end of my video also, then they'll bne surprised!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!
type in karen lindsay-stewart in your address bar, im too laz-ee to get out my phone and anddress and e-mail book, sorry. i'll also say how big a fan i am and stuff how much it means to me....................................

Lol.
Lesson 1 in life: Life's not fair; get used to it.

Well, the book is a British book! ^^; I can see where they're coming from. But it would be nice to see someone else in there that can do a great British accent! ^_^

Well I saw on a TV interview that they want everyone to be British so it's not fake. Something about being faithful to the book? I dunno. Yes Shelby, power to non-British people! Btw, when I get older, I'm definitely vacationing in England. I wanna go there sooo bad. My dad went awhile back, he's been there a couple times actually, and he said it's cool the 1st time u go. But he said it's rainy and cold all year-round. I don't care! I'm going ne way! haha

ya well, in cnada when its winter is freezing and the summers are boiling it'd be nice to go to england. i think your right about being faithful to the book, thats kinda what i think. i can alos do a great accent, and if its about noyt sounding fake, i'll just pick up a real one! if  ur sending in an audition, tell them ur antionality at the end of the video. we should, like, start a petiotn, lol!
ya, lets! in the leave a message for, i'll start one! just type your first and last najme and your country stat/province and such! who wants to? i'll start oine in there, k?

Yes Shelby, the Petition won't work.  It gives out waaay too much personal information and it clearly states that doing that is against the Policy.  
And if you have a Scottish or Irish accent, you can still try out.  Sean Biggerstaff had a Scottish accent.
Plus, I don't think that the Producers of the movie are going to listen to American tweens and teens.  Sorry to say.

what if they just put their first name (or just the two initials?) and just put what country? is that aloud?
Title: Re:why the actors need to be british?!
Post by: .:~*Shuiliya*~:. on July 25, 2002, 04:44:16 AM
Yes, but for a real petition to work, you have to have the personal information.  If you made one at a site or something, then it might work.

I'm in scotland, living there, and shelby, I'm afraid that they only let brittish people try out.

Anyone from England, Scotland, or Ireland can try out (notice all the different accents!) ^_^

it's because you can talk British all you want but Americans do not look British nor so other cultures.  That's why.   ;)
