During past seasons, Z Nation has employed the help of Spokane residents as extras in the series. Auditions for zombie extras were originally supposed to be held in late May, but were postponed. Spokanites are encouraged to try out at the rescheduled auditions on June 17 and 18.
New zombies can try out at the following times:
• June 17: 10 a.m.-12 p.m., 2 -4 p.m. and 4-6 p.m.
• June 18: 11 a.m. -1 p.m., 3-5 p.m.
Returning zombies will have a chance to audition on:
• June 17: 9-10 a.m., 1-2 p.m.
• June 18: 10-11 a.m., 2-3 p.m.
The casting director for Z Nation also offered a few tips on how locals can stand out during the auditions and make the cut.
Those interested in auditioning must be 18 years or older. Casting directors ask that auditioning zombies do not wear makeup and wear form-fitting clothes. They will be casting extras to be both zombies and humans, but all auditions will include various zombie walks and exercises.
