[CLOSED] A Unique Audition IV ($150)
V_ for Elizabeth ($150)
Deadline:
Deadline is April 27th. Last time to submit is April 26th at 11:59 PM (Pacific time). Please note that Casting Call Club closes out projects one day before. Even though the project will be closed on April 26th, the true deadline is April 26th at 11:59 PM (Pacific time). Payment will be sent on April 27th.
The point of this audition isn't to do a 'voice' that sounds like Elizabeth or to sound like her. Feel free to use your natural speaking voice. If you do happen to sound like Courtnee Draper, great! If not, great! The point of this audition isn't about Elizabeth, it's about you and your approach to acting each line. Don't worry about trying to sound like her.
Tone: Soprano (Low A-High F) to Mezzo Soprano, Range G3-A5 (preferred) or your natural speaking voice.
Sound signature: https://youtu.be/UUBIRc4QEcA?t=368
Microphone: Any
Accent: North-American. No exceptions. Can't take a British accent for this.
Age: 22 to 28 (but I'll take any age range. I care more about the acting rather than if you match the character)
Words: 130 words. The entire audition is the entire script.
Payment: $150 paid for the cast audition. No additional lines or script needed after an actress is chosen. Payment is $1.15 per word.
Conditions:
The script is the entire audition. It is 130 words for $150. You do not have to submit any lines beyond this audition. You will be paid on the very day that you are cast. The only requirement is that all lines in the audition are completed. As all projects of "Unique Audition", it is a paid audition where the chosen audition is paid the full $150 on the day that she is cast.
