CASTING SPECS:

KARAOKE SINGER: OCP

• African American female (but open to ethnicity and gender) in her mid 40s – set on a Karaoke stage pretending to be about to sing, but she never does, she just sways like she’s about to start singing, confidently swaying to the beat ready to slay the vocals someday. Does not need to sing. She has excellent stage presence and is not the least bit self-conscious about this instrumental track. Looking for grounded comedic performances. See audition details below.

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS GAME: OCP

• Caucasian male (but open to ethnicity and gender) in his 60s – playing the game “Rock, Paper, Scissors”. He’s a total pro at this. He humble and casually confident about it, not rubbing it in. Like a grandpa who loves to play with his grandkids, gentle, sweet, but loves winning. Long lanky arms, or small arms, hands, and or digits is a great bit of character that can make this funnier. Looking for grounded comedic performances.  See audition details below.

THEREMIN PLAYER: OCP

• Caucasian woman (but open to ethnicity and gender) in her 30s. Ideally, they know how to play the theremin. She is extremely self-serious, the theremin isn’t a joke to her, even though the sounds she is producing in this situation are strange, and frankly, very funny. It’s as if she is hosting her own YouTube episode or performing a Concert, everything about her is buttoned up and professional. Fee includes the use of their theremin instrument set up.  See audition details below.
