The studio was spacious and the large mirror wall was very useful. There was plenty of light and it was good to have the sofas too. Lots of hooks to ang things up. Never thought about that but it was really quite useful. It was easy to find the venue and enter. The emails with visual references and instructions were clear and very useful too.

- Blank canvases - If all you need is an open space, you won't have any trouble finding some neat blank canvas spaces to host your casting or audition.
- Small theatres - If you want to make your event feel special or want to throw together a talent show, you'll be able to find some nice locations with fully-fledged stages around the city.
- Conference rooms - These can be repurposed into a space well suited for casting and auditions, and you can find dozens of them all over central London.
- Photo and video studios - If a space for model casting is what you're after, how about carrying out the audition in a real studio environment? Venues designed for photo and video shoots are widely available across the city.
Depending on the type of audition you're planning, you will have different things to prepare. If you're a director looking for undiscovered actors, you have to share the script with them. Maybe you can provide them with some props as well? If you're looking for musicians, basic sound equipment and possibly instruments should be in place. Some sort of recording equipment would help you choose the perfect candidate after the audition day.
Your Guide to Hiring Casting and Audition Venues in London
When casting the next big thing, you’ll probably need to accommodate hundreds of people, but if you’re familiar with your market and are only expecting a few dozen auditioners, then a local music rehearsal room or casting suite might be ideal. If you don’t hire a traditional auditorium with a separate backstage area, make sure to allocate a space where performers will wait their turn and a private area with tables and chairs where you and your associates can confer.
Another thing to consider is the type of people or acts you expect to attend your casting. This will matter greatly for the type of casting and audition venues you plan to hire! A small casting room with a designated waiting area will be more than enough for solo acting auditions, but for bold artistic performances with large crews or bands, a big stage is what you’re after. Spacious creative spaces and warehouses can also work pretty well. If you’re casting for a photo shoot model, something like a photo or recording studio would be a good fit for your audition.
Top 7 tips for holding your first audition
Take a look at our list of things you need to remember before holding your first audition:
- Pick your criteria. Think about what you want to achieve with your audition. What’s the role you need to fill? Do you have any requirements for the potential candidates? What kind of person would be the best fit for your team? Write them down for you and the other judges so that all of you are on the same page about the person you’re looking for.
- Start looking for potential audition spaces early - you have to make sure your venue is hired and ready to go before you put out your casting call. Depending on the purpose of the audition and the potential number of people attending, pretty much any space could be repurposed for a casting or audition.
- Plan the audition. Now that you have a rough idea of how many people you can accommodate during your audition, it’s time to think of the specifics. First, you have to choose how you will handle the audition. You can pick between a set audition and an open audition. The main difference between the two is that everyone is free to come to an open audition, whereas you will have to invite the talent individually to a set audition. At the minimum, ensure you have at least 1-2 people to help you with hosting the audition and rating the talent.
- Hire the equipment. While your candidates will usually want to bring their own instruments, players of big and heavy instruments (such as pianists or drummers) would not be able to do the same. Book a space with all the equipment (microphones, amps, stage monitors, etc.), either included in the fee or separately for hire.
- Announce it. After you work out all the details, it’s time to put the call out finally! Get some posters, tell your friends or contacts to spread the word, and use social media to your advantage. Be clear about the audition process. Provide specific dates and your contact information or your audition venue’s address.
- Brief the talent. Provide candidates with the materials they need (such as an acting script, lyrics or sheet music for a musician) and some refreshments to make their wait more pleasant. Make sure they know the general time frame of their performance, and try your best to stay on schedule.
- Get started! Every time a new candidate enters, ask them to introduce themselves, then introduce yourself, and make sure they understand the assignment. See what they have to offer compared to the other candidates and consult with your co-judge often (preferably after their audition). Take note of any concerns or questions.

Verified Reviews of Casting and Audition Venues in London
Brilliant place to hold auditions. My go to now. Super friendly and clean spaces. Everything you need. Amazing front of house staff too
- Clean, friendly, welcoming environment. - Spacious studios, bright atmosphere - I also asked the staff if they had any water, and they offered to bring us some to the studio. It’s always the little things but that made my day honestly.
Excellent space for rehearsals and auditions. Cool fringe theater vibes and the location is perfect.
We hired the room behind the bookshop itself, where occassionally you're likely to hear the footsteps of those in the bookshop - that aside, the location is value for money
Great location with a wonderful range of studios and great value for money. Would definitely book again in the future!
The location is great and facilities work very well for a casting session. Terry is a great host and very happy to assist with any queries.
Easy booking process. Flexible intelligent cheerful people on the phone and on the desk. Perfect room for a shortish meeting. Great being below a bookshop. Quiet. Easy to get to. Lovely.
