Commercial 1
Looking to cast two talent for an upcoming online commercial for 'Emmerse' app; a mobile app developed in Vancouver to distract anxious minds and transport listeners someplace else.

Storyline: We follow the daily life of 'Tom' whose thought(s) (yes, a human in a cloud costume) seems to be getting in the way. Tom goes on a date with Kim & the 'thought' spills a drink all over him.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Principal (PP)TOMMale 25 - 35 Years old
Description
TOM - 25 to 35 years old, all ethnicities male.

He’s pretty clean cut and dresses well, but not overly formal. Tom is a likeable, but slightly awkward guy who always tried his best but seems to crack under pressure. He is in his mid-to late 20s, lives downtown and works as an intern at a tech company.

We would love an actor who can deliver great subtle facial expressions, and awkward body language.

*TONY REVOLORI (Wes Anderson film) is a great reference for the kind of person we’d love to play Tom.

AUDITION NOTES: Please include the below expressions as part of #2 on the instructions.

TOM- 1) Slight confusion/hear 2) Slight surprise/confused look 3) Slight deer in the headlights.

* We want Tom to generally look a bit awkward and uncomfortable in most scenes. His reactions shouldn’t be too big, but he should be able to do a lot with his eyes, like the references to the right.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
Principal (PP)KIMFemale 22 - 35 Years old
Description
KIM - 20 to 35 years old, all ethnicities female.

Tom’s date, Kim, is in her early to mid-20s. She seems a bit more confident than Tom. She’s dressed well and she’s the social media manager at a different tech company.

AUDITION NOTES: Please include the below expressions as part of #2 on the instructions.

KIM - A) Complete deadpan, to a slight eye shift B) A “ what the heck just happened” look but very small. C) Confused while holding a smile D) Slow unimpressed look.

We’re looking for someone who can deliver very subtle looks and reactions, she should feel likeable and real with a bit of her own personality.
