Open casting call for dynamic youths in upcoming social media commercials in the USA.
Vicky Boone Casting has unveiled a casting call generating buzz across the East Asian and Southeast Asian communities. A leading social media company is on the search for young individuals brimming with energy and talent for its upcoming commercial. The spotlight is on those who can wield a bike, skateboard, or roller skates with confidence and charisma.
This commercial is not just about capturing moves on wheels; it’s about representing the vibrancy of youth and the power of social media connectivity. With principal roles up for grabs, males and females aged 14-21 from East Asian or Southeast Asian backgrounds are invited to showcase their biking and skating skills. This could be the break that young talents seek, whether they have a background in acting or are stepping into the limelight for the first time.
The production is casting two principal roles. The first is for a male who feels at home with the wind in his hair while pedaling a bicycle. The second calls for a female who can bring grace and agility on a skateboard or roller skates. These roles are designed to portray the freedom of movement and the youthful spirit that the social media brand embodies.
While this is a non-union project, professionalism and commitment are paramount. Selected individuals will be involved in everything from auditions to wardrobe fittings and the final shoot. They must be open to collaborating with the creative team to bring the director’s vision to life, maintaining a professional demeanor throughout the production process.
Candidates must be ready for initial auditions via tapes, with potential callbacks requiring a second audition tape. They should be available for wardrobe fittings in early December and prepared for the shooting dates slated for mid-December, all within the Austin area.
Those cast in the principal roles will be compensated with a total of $2,500, which breaks down to $500 per day for the shoot and a $1,000 yearly fee for a two-year term. This generous rate reflects the time and talent invested and the reach and exposure that come with being the face of a global social media campaign.
The commercial promises worldwide exposure, with the media and formats including all available channels for two years and an option to extend. The lack of exclusivity for the internet means that the actors can continue to explore other opportunities in the vast digital landscape.
This casting call is a thrilling opportunity for young individuals to make a mark in the commercial world. It’s a chance to represent a generation that’s always on the move, connected, and ready for the next big thing. The search for fresh faces is on, and with the promise of creative engagement and global exposure, it’s an opportunity not to be missed.
