Thank you for your time and talent, we look forward to seeing your submissions, Natalie Mueller Freelance Creative, Casting and Production --- Character Breakdowns Professor male or female 28-32 The quintessential lover of knowledge, the professor is less of a bookworm and more of a curious cat. He/she is bright, cheerful and welcoming. He/she is a carpe diem loving, crowd raising ball of energy and his/her passion for learning and experiencing everything life has to offer is intoxifying. Think of your favorite teacher and imagine them bright eyed, fresh out of college and ready to take the world by storm. The professor is not dowdy or solemn, but a burning light of knowledge and childlike wonder. Character references: Rob Lowe, Steve Camden of 7th Heaven, Anna Kendrick, Emma Thompson Bodyguards (2) male 25-28 Serious guys with serious jobs who take every day seriously. These two gents look like they could have been ordered out of a bodyguard catalog. They have a commanding presence and take great care to ensure their protectees are safe and satisfied. Character references: Josh Brolin, Tom Hardy, Will Smith Publicist female 24-26 This powerhouse maven knows what her clients want and makes sure they get it. She is a fast talker & fast walker, but can keep her cool even in the most frantic of crowds. Her number one priority is keeping her client happy whether that’s showering them with constant praise, fetching them a sandwich or deflecting autographs, she will make that happen. Small, mighty and wearing a power suit. The kind of girl who can wear a pair of pumps for hours and not even bat an eyelash. The perfect ally and a terrible enemy. Character references: Leslie Knope, Allison Janney/CJ Cregg of The West Wing Coaches (2) male or female 28-35 Super intense and competitive but supportive and encouraging...as long as you’re on the same team. Not someone you would want playing against you in dodgeball. Firmly believes everyone can be better, stronger, faster. Not the type to give out awards for participation. Character references: terry bradshaw, ed helms, charles barkley Karaoke Goddess female 21-25 Bubbly, friendly, attentionlover, this girl can and will talk to everyone. She’s the type of friend you just can’t cancel on and she’s always roping her friends, enemies and even complete strangers into her wild and crazy ideas. She’s finds fun in everything and can often be found singnarrating her life. She’s a strong singer, but even if she wasn’t it wouldn’t stop her from belting lyrics (even if they are wrong) at the top of her lungs. She constantly craves the spotlight, but is always happy to share it with a new friend. Character references: Jenna Maloney from 30 Rock, Lorelai from Gilmore Girls Superhero male 21-24 Some might say there are enough superheros. Some might say we don’t need any more saving. Some might even say there are no good powers left and nothing worth saving us from. Our superhero would staunchly disagree. He is bold and brave with an unfaltering moral compass. He is heroism incarnate. A true people pleaser with a seemingly endless supply of energy and confidence. A booming voice and a big heart, he’s a loveable, if somewhat overwhelming, oaf. Character references: Chris Evans, Adam West’s Batman The Man male 26-30 A worldly but not weathered soul, this guy is always prepared and always up for adventure. He’s grizzly but warm hearted, the type of guy who, when he charges you, could tackle you, hug you, throw you over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry, or just offer to get you a drink. He’s like your childhood hero, big brother, favorite uncle and college roommate all rolled into one and has quietly cultivated a reputation as the quintessential party host. Character references: Gerard Butler, Older Ben Affleck Butler male 25-35 The picture of sophistication, but not afraid to get down. This buttoned down butler is dinner party on the outside, but dance party on the inside. He is the glue of his household, a perfect gentleman, host and partner in crime. Character references: Jeeves + TJ Miller News Anchors (2) male and female 26-35 Clean, cut and professional, these anchors can make even the smallest puff piece an international story. They are excitable, passionate and eager to entertain their audience. They believe that the true heart and soul of the news lies within the viewers. Human interest pieces, dancing cats, breaking news of the latest trends Character references: Jon Stewart, Kathy Lee, Mario Lopez Field Anchor (2) male and female 23-30 Warm, personable and engaging. Never misses a beat. Bubbly but down to earth, with a strong head on their shoulders. Successful at most everything he/she tries. Cool, charismatic and in control. A quick friend and easy conversationist. Character References: Amy Adams, Jason Jones (The Daily Show), Samantha Bee (The Daily Show) --- Audition Info Please record a short improvised monologue/one-sided conversation for each prompt under your specified gender.
