Description
• Some people are experts on wine or whiskey, others are experts on BBQ sauce. Introducing the Saucemelier, the spokesperson endorsing our new burger!

• We’re looking to cast a guy in his mid-20’s who is clean cut and clean-shaven (or has a moustache). We want him to feel like a young man trying to be someone older, so we want someone who is kind of lanky or has a degree or immaturity to his look.

• An important part of the casting is making sure he can deliver a pretentious, sarcastic, overly self-important tone. Someone with improv experience is also preferred.


We’d like to hear our potential talent read this line pretentiously, as though their trying to impress someone with how mature and classy they are. Note that Saucemelier is pronounced like “sauce-muhl-yay (a sommelier for BBQ sauce).

Lines to read in self tape:
“as a self proclaimed saucemelier, I’m an expert in all things sauce and flavour. But the Maple Whiskey BBQ King….well, its next level classy”

We’d also like them to read these words sort of like their whispering a secret, or trying to seduce someone. Imagine they are admiring the burger, and trying to make it sound incredibly fancy and desirable.

“maple….whiskey….barbecue…king..”
