Professor Elma

Professor Elma is the lead character of My Teacher Is a Witch. She is a university professor with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor who tends to hide genuine curiosity and vulnerability behind skepticism and bluntness. She can be authoritative, playful, mildly abrasive, and unexpectedly soft depending on the situation. Her comedy should feel natural and grounded rather than exaggerated or overly “anime.”

Performance Direction

Please treat this as an acting performance, not simply a script read. I’m specifically looking for someone who will bring their own nuance to Elma’s dialogue — small chuckles, pauses, changes in pacing, restrained reactions, breath, hesitation, irritation, amusement, or subtle vocal shifts wherever they feel natural.

Above all, please avoid a flat or monotone delivery. I would much rather hear an audition that takes bigger acting swings and occasionally goes a little too far than one that simply reads the dialogue exactly as written. Have fun with her and give the lines personality.

I made some visual storyboards for the first scene in case that helps.

This is a lead role and is intended to be recurring. If the pilot performs well and the series continues, I would like to continue working with the selected actress for future episodes and related projects. Future episodes will contain substantially more dialogue, and payment would increase accordingly as the scope of the role grows.
