Comments
We are filming a Proof of Concept for a series; we hope to consider/contract who we cast in the POC for these roles in the series, but cannot guarantee it. We are looking to cast two young adults (ideally in the 18-24 range, but can be older), each with some form of disability. We are open to all disabilities. These adults share stories, play games and create a safe environment for children with disabilities – so the hosts will need to be comfortable interacting and engage with children.
Storyline
Bringing a child-friendly approach, How Do You explores different disabilities and teaches young children to be confident in their disability through live-action skits and animations.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Carly | Female 18 - 24 Years old |
Description A bit of a perfectionist, Carly stands with a positive attitude and won’t let anyone get in her way. Her determination is strong, but she struggles to know when to give up or ask for help. Carly will be described in the audition sides as an arm amputee, though this description will change based on the actor's ACTUAL disability (characters must be authentic). Identifies as female; any ethnicity; ANY INTELLECTUAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITY - and please indicate what the disability is in your submissions. | ||

| Lead | Issaac | Male 18 - 24 Years old |
Description Energetic with a childish soul, Isaac always tries to make sure that everyone has a smile on their face. Isaac speaks his mind, which sometimes gets him in trouble when he says the wrong things. Isaac will be described in the audition sides as on the autism spectrum, though this description will change based on the actor's ACTUAL disability (characters must be authentic).. Identifies as male; any ethnicity; ANY INTELLECTUAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITY - and please indicate what the disability is in your submissions. | ||
