Hi There!

Selected talent must be able to self-record audition video (no physical casting to attend). 

---------------------
 
We are casting blind or low vision people who have experience with or own Guide Dogs for an IBM shoot this Friday or Saturday ($500 a day)
 
We would like you to do a self-record video if you are either
BLIND or LOW VISION and must have had some experience with a GUIDE DOG or even OWN a guide dog.
 
SLATE:
State Name, Confirm if Legally Blind or Low Vision, Confirm Availability for this Friday 2/5and/or Saturday 2/6 shoot, Confirm if either own a guide dog or have worked with a guide dog in the past
 
Give some background on themselves, just a few lines. (DO NOT DISCUSS ACTING - can discuss day jobs, personal passions not related to performing, etc.) 
 
If they have a dog it would be good to have it in the shot, if not a stuffed animal. Talk about the guide dog if they have one.
 
Talk about how it feels like being at a crosswalk, with dog if they have one, without a dog if they don't.
Stuff animal - pretend like they're meeting it for the first time, hugging it.
 
Note: We're not looking for an "actor", we're looking for a real person, no BIG dramatic emotions.
 
VIDEO IS DUE Weds 2/3 by 5:30 PM
