How do I choose actors without having auditions set up?

I have a short film script I would like to shoot soon and need to pic actors but I was not able to get the audition venue, I originally planned on. I can pick the actors according to their resumes, pictures, or how much they seem interested. But a lot of them do not have any footage of them acting to show me. So how should I pick if I cannot get auditions?

Thanks.
 
Get a few barriers and set them up. You can makeshift cut a room and turn it into 2 rooms.

It'll also depend on your audition process, but you could make it work if done right.
