 You guys, I have another open casting call for you. This is for anybody that can play ages 12 to 17, so you don't have to be in the age range 12 to 17, but you must be able to play this. And I'm gonna share with you guys some of the information about the open casting call, how you can submit for free and all of that. And if you think somebody you know might be able to apply to this, you can go ahead and send it over. Originally the deadline for this was December 4th. I know that is very soon, but it is very similar as what you will get from your agents, managers, when you do have one, if you don't have one already. Usually when I get a casting call, a self-tape audition request for my agents, I usually have one to two days, even if it is a scene or anything like that. So I'm sure you can memorize this. It's maybe two or three pages on some of them. So yes, I think you should memorize them and submit it as soon as possible. My name is Velika, by the way, and I make acting related videos all of the time. And I do have other videos about open casting calls, but also if you're new to acting, I talk about my experience, how I started in acting, what I'm doing, everything I'm learning, my experiences, and a lot of things like that. So if you're interested in that, subscribe or just watch another video after this and see if you like my channel. So for this, of course, it's a self-tape audition, open casting call, and it is a scene for each one. So you will have to have a reader to perform this audition, so somebody else reading the lines that you aren't saying. Tamara commented a couple of weeks ago on a video about this open casting call, and I had not seen it, but since then I have gone to their website, so they do have a website for misfit open casting call. It looks like they were looking for something so, so specific that they ended up making it an open call, which of course will happen if somebody's looking for something really, really specific. So if you go onto their website, you can see the information of all of the different people that they're still looking for. One of these characters, the deadline already passed. So it looks like they already did find somebody for Arabella because if you click on the Arabella link on their website and they also have a Instagram page, which it only is for this, it's only for the misfit casting, so there's really no use of following them other than getting that information, going to their website. But for Arabella, the deadline says it's December 4th, so do not audition for this person. But there are other characters. So it is 12 to 17 years old and it's basically a feel good, they describe it as a feel good TV series and they have a bunch of information about each person they're looking for. But let's go back to their website really quick because this is the official website. This is where you can actually get the information. I happen to see a project casting page about this open call and it says it's not due until January 18th, which I found very weird because nowhere here do they say that they are also posting it on project casting. So I would just suggest just go through Actors Access and if you guys have never had an Actors Access account, wanna learn more about Actors Access, I did a huge deep dive on the history of breakdown services slash Actors Access slash, they have a lot of different websites over there. But yeah, Actors Access is a legit casting website and I have a lot of friends who use it, casting directors, make sure you are following the instructions just as they say, because when they are open calls, they are sponsored by these companies. So usually if you're going to submit on your own and you don't have an agent or anything like that, you do have to pay for the account, but because this is an open casting call sponsored by this company, you should not pay anything even for uploading your self-tape audition for creating your account, you will be able to put some photos up there, you will be able to put up your audition without having to pay because I think usually it's $22 a minute or something like that, but as long as you follow their instructions, you won't have to. This open casting call is still looking for three 12 to 17 year old young adults. Would they be considered young adults? I guess so. Gigi is the only one that they are looking for something very specific. So it's 12 to 17 years old and she needs to be a black girl with great hair. That's what it says. The other role is for her friend who's Shani, 12 to 17 years old is supposed to have a skin condition. So if you have some kind of skin condition, maybe even if it's not this one in particular, you should still audition and see if they can change it up a little bit because I think the reason why they're looking to cast somebody like this is to do body positivity because it is something that they're saying within this website, within the information, they want to have a diversity, not just the classic blonde, blue-eyed, high school girl, whatever, they want to have different representation of different kinds of people. And then Ash is the other one, 12 to 17, again, non-binary and that is pretty much it. They each have a script but you can go onto their website, click on this and then it will take you to Actors Access and then there you can click on the script. I'm not gonna click on it in this video because any text that is in auditions like this, it's copyrighted. So if you do put any of that on YouTube, you're not allowed to. So I would suggest to go to this website and take a read and take a look at it. If this is your first time acting, I would say, yeah, you should, you can do it, that's fine. But I would highly suggest to take these scripts and practice at home and get better, develop your acting. And I have tons and tons of videos on starting an acting career, different acting classes, acting exercises, if you really do want to be an actor or if you are a veteran actor and you're just benefiting from hearing about this. Oh my God, I'm so excited audition for it. Send your audition over. Another thing about open casting calls is that you want to submit your audition as soon as possible because when they're this big, you have agents and managers submitting talent to this but also just everybody that has an account, everybody that has a YouTube account that hears about this is going to be submitting. But it looks like they extended the line from the original one because they didn't find exactly who they wanted except for Arabella, which it looks like it's done. I don't know if that's correct but based off of the information they're providing us, it looks like they are no longer casting for Arabella. And a few things in general, if you are new, if it tells you an instruction, you should follow it exactly. I know they put on the notes to not put any kind of transition at the beginning because if you maybe you're trying to stand out and look different and look cool by using a bunch of props or having texts on your screen, that's just all a waste of time. They really wanna see you and how you act, follow exactly the directions that they're giving you, read everything at least two times and make sure you are following the instructions. One of the questions Tamara had was why are they asking me to do two takes? Well, that's because they want you to do it two different ways. They want to see your versatility. They wanna see how you're approaching this character and that's why you wanna do it twice. So you don't wanna do it twice the exact same way. You wanna do it differently. And Tamara, you did have another question that when you are doing a self-tape audition and the other person that's reading for you, your reader, if they have a long paragraph or something you said you don't know what to do, you kinda just awkwardly look at the camera. Well, you would do exactly what you do in real life when somebody's talking, which is listening to them and really reacting to them. What are they saying? How is it affecting you? So just stay in the moment and be as truthful as you can in that specific situation and then you'll be fine. So if somebody's talking, of course you would be looking at them and agreeing or having an internal something, just paying attention to what they're saying. I did the Disney channel open casting call video about a year ago. They did have a script that was public so I was able to go through it and walk you through a little bit in case you're an absolute beginner on how you can approach this kind of thing. But if you are an absolute beginner, it's not very easy to give you a specific advice on what to do if you've never had any kind of training. So that's exactly what I would advise for you to do is to get some acting classes and then next time that there is an opportunity because there's tons of opportunity, well, not tons, but I would say every year there's about three to five really good open casting calls that you might be able to take a part of if you're not able to move to LA or go to LA easily for auditions or any big markets in general. In Actors Access, they do have a section where they say they want you to say this late and do a full body shot, film it horizontally, all of that information. I do have videos on all of that so if you guys want to go and watch a few of those, let me know if you have any additional questions. This is due very soon, so the deadline for this is December 31st for anybody living in the US who is legally allowed to work in the US of course because if you get cast in this and they ask you for your information, social security number or whatever, some kind of work permit in the US and you don't have it, unfortunately they're gonna go with the next person so make sure that you qualify, that you live in the US. I'm assuming that they're filming this in LA but you guys, I searched and searched so much. I looked on IMDB, I Googled it, I looked everywhere. I don't know if Misfit is going to actually be the name of the TV show or if this is a pseudo name so that they can keep it a little bit more undercover. I don't know, I was not able to find any other information and basically anywhere where I found information about Misfits, it was all of this basic information that you can find on their website and on Actors Access. Any time that I do see any other open casting calls I will absolutely make a video about it. Thank you Tamara for commenting on the video and asking me if I can make a video about this. I really appreciate it and let me know if you have any other questions and at the end of every video, I feature another channel. This is today's feature. If you would like to be featured on my next video, make sure you're subscribed, like this video and leave me a comment.
