A lot of people are self taping (auditions) these days

Find out who is handling casting... casting directors usually operate as a business in their own right and therefore are surprisingly easy to contact. The real challenge is timing... casting, especially for principle roles usually happens very early on, way before shooting (which for TH is almost upon us again). On the other hand, sometimes casting for background actors is ongoing depending on the scene shooting schedule.
Since time is of the essence, look around the web for tips on how to self tape an audition rather than waiting for an open call. Send it to the appropriate casting director or their associates. If you can't track down details about the casting director for The Hobbit, you probably aren't trying hard enough...
Once you've sent your demo reel, etc, to the casting director, resist the urge to pester them. If they like what they see, and have a spot for you, they will be in touch.

I heard that pick-ups and extra footage of The Hobbit will be shot in NZ from May.... and I was wondering if anyone knew anything else about it? I'm in NZ now with a work permit, match the spec for an Elf, archery trained, studied acting.... I know I missed the boat on previous castings, but if there's even an ounce of hobbity hope left, please might someone point me in the right direction?
