Auditions for extras - what happens?
I'm wanting to audition for the tv show "Game of Thrones" as an extra, but I've no idea what happens in auditions. I've prepared a resume, and it's ready to send in, but could someone please tell me what will happen if they call me in. Do extras have to audition if they don't have to speak? Is there a tough elimination process? Or will I just be selected to go on to the show if they like the look of me?
I really, really want to be an extra on the show, because I'm a massive fan, plus I live where it's being filmed.
Quick answers are very much appreciated.

I can't be certain, because it's different everywhere, but usually you find an extras casting agency near where you are, send them a headshot and a full body shot, with a covering letter giving your contact details, age, height, weight, hair and eye colour and your availability.
They won't be interested in a normal resume and they don't normally audition, because extras aren't actors - just human props.
The casting director asks the agents, for example, for 25 females, age 20 to 25, average height, any colour hair, slim build. The agent then checks his lists and finds 25 females of that description, and sends them details, suggesting that they turn up at the location as requested - they would have to confirm, obviously, but that's about it.
Being an extra can be great fun - I hope you get called!
