TAPE 1 “Story”: Please film this in a close up frame (top of head to mid chest). Introduce yourself and tell us about your favorite hobby. Keep this short! Then please turn in profile to each side and also the back. Then hold up your hands. Both hands in front of the camera and turn them so we can see both sides of your hands.

Pleasure,

Here is some more info on the spot and the tone. This is a non-speaking role but talent will be featured in various scenes: We’re looking for authentic, energetic performers who exude instant likability and warmth. This is a fast-paced, multimedia celebration of “PLAY” that requires faces that connect immediately – most scenes will be brief, so personal charisma and genuine expressions are essential. We need a diverse cast representing various ethnicities, ages (all 25+), and styles that align with Virginia Lottery’s customer segments. These aren’t stereotypical “commercial pretty” faces, but people with distinctive personalities who feel real and relatable. Cast members should have a playful spirit and the ability to convey joy through subtle expressions.

Please send tapes by WED MAY 21st 10am at the latest, but I will take them as soon as you can send them! We are looking for people with a distinct sense of style and individuality, so let your personality shine through.

Look forward to seeing your tape!!
