Lead Role for a Girl (Aged 9-11) in an Upcoming Feature Film

Job Description:
AC Casting is looking for a talented girl, aged 9-11, to play the lead role in an exciting new feature film. The character is a witty, genuine, and cheeky 10-year-old girl with a tomboyish vibe—far from a stereotypical “little princess.” This is a major role with a lot of dialogue, requiring the young actress to have strong acting skills, natural comedic timing, and the ability to carry a leading performance in a fun and engaging way.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Portray the lead character, a lively and cheeky 10-year-old girl, in a feature film.
  • Deliver extensive, wordy dialogue with natural comedic timing and emotional depth.
  • Collaborate closely with directors, producers, and other cast members, which include well-known actors from the UK and Ireland.
  • Engage in rehearsals and filming sessions for three weeks in Dublin.
  • Represent the character authentically, bringing her tomboyish, humorous, and spirited nature to life on screen.

Requirements:

  • Must be a girl aged 9-11, believably able to portray a 10-year-old.
  • Must look the part of a young girl, not yet a teenager (should not appear older than 10/11).
  • Prior acting experience is preferred, but natural talent, especially with wordy dialogue and comedic timing, will be strongly considered.
  • Comfortable taking on a lead role with significant dialogue.
  • Must be based in Ireland, as the film will be shot in Dublin.
  • Available for a three-week shoot in February 2025.

Compensation:

  • Paid role: Details will be discussed upon casting, in line with industry standards for lead roles in feature films.
  • Travel, accommodation, and meals during filming will be provided if necessary.
