TV Series Auditions
We produce a Community Access Comedy/Variety series that is losing a highly valued cast member in the spring. As it will be very difficult to replace this beloved part of our team, we are starting early in seeking someone new. Individual and/or group auditions will be held, starting in February, until the right person is found. In addition to playing well against the show host, you must also be able to commit to a regular shooting and rehearsal schedule for a minimum of one year (but the longer the better).
About the character:
HARRY PHILLIPS, 35-45 years old, loud and arrogant, a ladies man, thinks he's the "real" star of the show.
As for his talent, he could be a singer, musician, comedian, or whatever the actor brings to the part.
He could also be a band leader (if you have a band that does originals and can play in a variety of styles).
Main studio shoot and rehearsal days are Sunday and Monday evenings, with occasional location shoots on other days and times. We try to be flexible with our cast members schedules, but availability for these days (especially Sundays) is important.
Please respond with 1 or more photos, a resume (if you have one) and/or a little about yourself in your email. Experience is great, but not necessary. The right person will be picked based upon their audition performance and availability (for shoot dates to at least a year). Respond soon to get on the list!
