Seeking Charismatic and Confident COUPLES for a non-union BuzzFeed ‘Couples Rap Battle’ video in Toronto!

This unscripted BuzzFeed video aims to showcase couples engaging in close quarters for a freestyle Rap Battle. We are looking for witty and fun couples, ages 28 – 42, that are diverse and inclusive in race, gender and sexual orientation. Previous rap experience is not required; they just need to have a basic sense of rhythm. They will be freestyle rapping about each other (obviously not expecting Tupac quality). Looking for a warm on-screen dynamic interaction between 2 people, they must feel very comfortable improvising rhythms and lyrics on the spot and be a little silly or sassy.

If you know of anyone like this, please pass this on!

*Pays $250 per person if selected (1 day – 2 to 3 hours shoot). No audition or previous acting experience is required. We will book directly through self-tapes.

Self-tape instructions:
Please create an audition video with your partner that is unscripted and no longer than 90 seconds in length. You can film this on your cell phone, it does not have to be professional quality. Please respond to the following prompts:
1) Introduce yourselves by telling us both of your names and ages.
2) How long have you been together and tell us your relationship status, e.g. are you married, living together, dating?
3) If you could each describe your partner in three words, what would they be?
4) Please improvise a rap together for 10-15 seconds about any of the following topics:
– your kids (if you have any, if not, you can rap about family)
– a pet
– what you had for breakfast

Please send your names, ages, photos of the two of you (no hats or sunglasses), your phone numbers and the self-tape to:
