SOC Principal - open ethnicity Self tape audition JOANNE sits down at her office desk and starts to unpack a very large bag. She sets up her laptop, a ring light, a microphone, adjusts a plant etc. in her background, puts in her earbuds and goes to get started. Suddenly she looks around and there’s JERRY standing with a coffee and some files, he waves. This causes JOANNE to realize, “oh right, I don’t need all of this anymore”. She smiles at JERRY as she takes out the earbuds and starts to pack up the ring light.

We hear the “ding” from the microwave, JERRY reaches in and takes out a whole fish on a plate. Just then JOANNE enters, she is carrying a brown paper bag with her lunch in it. She looks completely repelled by the smell, and all of it. JERRY looks sheepish about his terrible lunch choice.
