Role description

9-11 yrs in appearance. (SHE/HER - Open Ethnicity) . 9-11 yrs in appearance. Cassandra is your everyday normal tween girl minus her clearly demonic appearance. She’s pale, has scraggly hair, and is often a hot demon mess with tattered clothes and yellow teeth. Often flipping from a regular child to a mischievous demonic goblin running up the wall and onto the ceiling or telling people how they are going to die. She loves her family, listens well to her father, and tries to show it in ways that make sense to her, often putting her at odds with others. She struggles to connect and make friends due to her demonic mind and she both loves and hates this. She is authentically and unapologetically herself. With the addition of the camera crew, it will be hard for her to turn down the demonic theatrics. Good for ratings! Bad for her family! Think Reagan from the Exorcist meets a young girl from Gravity Falls or the Owl House. Audition: Self tape includes a brief introduction of yourself to the camera by answering the questions provided while in character and performing the selected sides. Directed callbacks to follow for selected applications. - What’s your favorite trick you like to pull on your family? - What demon qualities do you love about yourself? - Are there any reasons you’d like to be more normal and less demonic? Directors Note: We are looking for someone who has a distinct idea of what Cassandra is like, and what demon Cassandra is like. She is not demonic all the time and only drops into her demon voice and mannerisms when she is doing something demonic. Being able to move from one persona to another is something we are keeping our eyes out for.

Role description

60s in appearance. (HE/HIM - Open Ethnicity) Mr Ludkey is married to Mrs Ludkey and has the opposite demeanor. He’s quiet, private, and keeps to himself. Having been married for so long he knows its best to keep his mouth shut with her. He has, however, developed an appetite for adult websites since the family moved in next door. This is most likely due to Cassandra’s demonic energy which has closed him off literally and emotionally even more from his wife. Audition: This character has no dialogue but is featured as a physical comedic element in the background of another scene. Please prepare a self tape as if you’re logging into a website, browsing around for few beats, and then notice a camera has spotted you through a window. You can close your laptop and leave the room or get up and pretend to close the blinds. Please don’t make this exaggerated or campy. Keep it natural. You can be annoyed, embarrassed, etc, but keep it real.
