Deaf character audition opportunity – Austin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Production: Adeline<\/p>\n

Director: Jason Head, Nick Carl- The University of Texas at Austin<\/p>\n

Description: A young deaf teenager, Adeline, separated from her Mother and Father due to their lack of effort in adapting to her communication abilities, tries to make sense of her parents impending divorce. With the inability to pick up on auditory clues, she is left to piece together information that is not readily apparent to her; separated from the hearing world and isolated in her own home. As a fight between her parents builds, Adeline becomes aware that something isn\u2019t right and is thrown into the middle of their heated argument. We follow the perspective of Adeline as she tries to decipher the events that are unfolding before her.<\/p>\n

Shoot Dates: November 10 – 12, 2017 with a possible rehearsal date closer to production, and a possible pick up date.<\/p>\n

Location: Austin, Texas<\/p>\n

Roles:<\/p>\n

1. Adeline (Female, Age Range: 11-16): A young deaf teenager, a single child, that lives within the unique family dynamic of a Deaf child with hearing parents that are unwilling or able to learn ASL. Preference is given to Deaf actors, or to individuals with a connection to the Deaf community and culture. However all are welcome to submit.<\/p>\n

2. Father (Male, Age Range: 28-40): A father who\u2019s crumbling marriage comes to the ultimate breaking point, as he decides to leave their shared family home.<\/p>\n

3. Mother (Female, Age Range: 28-40): A mother who is equally fed up with the disillusionment within her marriage. The breaking point is heightened emotionally for both herself and her husband due to the presence of their daughter, Adeline.<\/p>\n

I would love to find a way to either post the info to your newsletter or have you share the information with the community. We are casting a web & social media based commercial for a reader in a specific smart device that will transcribe calls into real time texts. If cast in the commercial, talent will be paid $500 for the shoot day plus another $1,500.00 to cover the usage of the commercial for 2 years. There will also be a possible renewal after 2 years at the $,1500.00 rate again. Previous acting experience is not needed for the commercial. The target audience for the advertising campaign is people in their 20s, 30s, & 40s so we can audition anyone in that age range and of any ethnicity. There are 4 roles to cast and we would love to have people who know each other. For instance, a real couple or family members or friends who regularly use signing with each other and possibly other communication devices. Auditioning is easy. We are asking people to email self-taped videos to us by Monday, June 22nd. We do not need high tech videos. We can accept videos made with smart phones. The client wants to film the commercial in the Austin area during the week of the 29th so casting decisions need to be made next week. Please let me know if you have any questions and if you will forward this opportunity to members in your organization. If so, I can send over an instruction sheet and the audition scripts. Thank you for your time.
