SYNOPSIS
Amanda was born to be a performer. Her father had called her “Papa’s Little Popstar”. She spent her childhood putting on mini shows for her family, sang in the shower until the water went cold, and practiced High School Musical dance moves until the bottom of her feet was covered in blisters. So when she loses the talent show during her senior year of high school that would have granted her a 5 year record deal with one of the highest ranking producers in the nation, she vowed for ultimate revenge and promised to claim what was rightfully hers. Now in her last semester of college, her agent finally lands her an interview with Triple Diamond Records, the same agency she would have been working for, had she won the talent show 4 years prior. The chief signs her on one condition: she must fake a relationship with America’s hottest heartthrob: the ever-so charismatic and charming Nicholas McCarthy, who had ironically been the talent show winner Amanda dreamed of inflicting her vengeance on. With the potential eruption of fame and the chance to perform at Times Square on New Year’s Eve on the line, Amanda uses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to finally show the world who really is the better performer. Little did they know what lies in their paths, and how much they’ll lie to themselves about the confusing feelings they start to feel.
Genre: Romance Comedy, with a splash of Drama

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE AUDITIONING
☆ This series contains no swearing
☆ I give constructive criticism only upon request
☆ Everyone is welcome: All ages and accents are welcome to audition for any role you wish. Please don’t let these factors prevent you from auditioning! Everyone will have a fair and equal chance of receiving a role.
☆ I may ask you to audition for another character: If I absolutely adore your voice, there is a big chance I will contact you asking if you could read some more lines to see if you would fit more characters.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
☆ Dedication: THIS IS A MUST! I need an EXTREMELY dedicated cast to help me along the way. I am on a HUGE time-crunch to finish this series, so my cast needs to always be on top of finishing their lines ASAP. You will be recording for 10 scripts over the course of 18 months. Think about this before auditioning. I understand that sudden family issues and self-problems will delay your lines, and that is absolutely acceptable as long as you give me a heads up.
☆ Clear Microphone: This is a pretty basic requirement, but I am going to be very strict on microphone quality. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but please try to minimize/edit out the background noise, static, echoes, puffs and pops.
☆ Emotion: Honestly, I’d rather have you overact then show no emotion whatsoever.

YOUR AUDITION MUST INCLUDE
☆ Username/Alias: I will need your usernames for the cast list.
☆ All lines recited for the character you are auditioning for: You can also audition for as many characters as you would like, but I will consider you for other parts that I think you would fit as well, so it would be smart to audition for many roles.
☆ (opt.) Singing lines: Please only include a singing sample if you audition for Amanda, Nico, Kary, Trey, or Jackie. For those characters, you may read the speaking lines and/or sing a song. A few people asked me what types of songs I am looking for; The characters will sing mostly pop, so I would reccomend auditioning with a pop, rock, or even a Disney song. Auditioning for a character with singing lines DOES NOT require you to sing. If you are not confident in your singing skills, please state so. If you are casted, you will be paired with a singing voice.
☆ (opt.) A voice demo reel
☆ (opt.) Your voice acting résumé
- Failure to meet these requirements will result in a disregard to the audition -
