Due date
Friday April 19, 2024
Submissions from
Toronto
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.

Unbeknownst to him he’s a hero to his family putting everyone else before him, but at the end of the day he’s tired and his tank is empty and it shows in his weathering face and subtle body language.

She carries a great sense of humour and is well versed with sarcasm. Albeit a kind and loving mother and wife she exudes a slight undertone of being on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Much like a funny and frazzled Tina Fey, her cortisol is fried causing her to operate in a constant state of high alert waiting for the next disaster to strike. Audition: Self tape performing selected sides. Directed callbacks to follow for selected applications.
