Casting directors are now casting talent for an upcoming commercial filming in Toronto, Ontario. Producers are seeking the following types:
- Older Maria: Female, 55-75 years of age. Ideally Mexican-Canadian however we are open to other hispanic/latin ethnicities that would read as believably Mexican. She has a natural body for her age, not overly fit or stylish. She has a warm smile, a little grey hair is showing but should appear young at heart. Her performance is natural, we want to feel so much from the eyes alone.
- Younger Maria: Female, 25-35 years of age. Ideally Mexican-Canadian however we are open to other hispanic/latin ethnicities that would read as believably Mexican. Needs to visibly resemble our Older Maria. More slim and trim in comparison to older Maria. We should feel that she’s got rhythm and a sexy confidence.
- Juan: Male, 25-35 years of age. Ideally Mexican-Canadian however we are open to other hispanic/latin ethnicities that would read as believably Mexican. He’s slim but fit and devilishly handsome.
Talents will be compensated approximately $1,500 for their work on the commercial. To audition for a role in the commercial, check out the casting call breakdown below.
