Adventures in Casting Calls
Sunday, October 6, 2013
I come across some very interesting casting calls when I'm looking for acting gigs. Sometimes the character descriptions are so absurd they make me laugh.
Heavyset princess type gym goer
I applied to this one, even though I couldn't for the life of me figure out what a heavyset princess type gym goer would look like.
Hot model types
Am I hot? Am I a model type? I never apply to these because even though I think I'm hot, I know the main stream version of hot is a few sizes smaller than I am.
Background with 3-legged mixed breed dog.
Well, my dog is a mix of pit bull and shar pei, but she has four legs, so I was out for this one.
African American Female with slender build
I had to double check with my husband whether or not I had a slender build. He assured me that I did not. lol
Male or female same sex couple with kids for a Christmas photo for the Catholic Church.
I thought this was a very interesting one. I don't fit this, obviously, but I'm really interested in whatever campaign the Catholic Church is planning that will include recognizing same sex couples and families.
Sexy leg double needed. Size 8.5-9. Send photos of legs.
I looked at my legs and decided they weren't sexy enough. Had I applied, it'd be the first time I'd have to send in a photo of just my legs lol.
Females needed to portray sexy, curvy, Latina club goers.
Female? check. Sexy? check. Curvy? check. Latina?....darn lol
;-)
It is so cool for you to share this. I always wondered how that worked. I've also been assured that I'm not in the slender category, lol #TeamCurvy
ReplyDeleteLol Interesting. This reminds me of an interesting article I read awhile back on xojane about...I think it was commercial castings for a "sassy, black woman", or something. If I can find it, I'll comment with the link...

ReplyDeleteOMG, so so true. I even encounter that problem with stage productions. Even productions put on by other black people. Somehow a black woman character is not believable if she isn't sassy. SIGH.
