Colonial Williamsburg Actors and Voice Actors

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s Education Outreach department is developing a new project that will use audio and video clips to teach American history.
 
We’re looking for a group of people who can do dramatic readings, narrative readings, or on-camera (head and shoulders shots) spots for “virtual interviews.” All scripts will be on teleprompter. No memorization is required, but you must be able to read from a distance. 

This is a CASTING CALL for the following:

• 8 high school-age individuals. We need young men and young women of all ethnicities to have a speaking role on camera. Each will read about 8 introductory pieces on location in Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area.
• 15 Caucasian (white) men of various ages, for speaking roles (audio only). Some may also appear on camera.
• 10 Caucasian (white) women of various ages, for speaking roles (audio only). Some may also appear on camera.
• 4 African American men. 2 of various ages and 2 aged “twenty-something,” for on-camera and audio-only roles.
• 6 Hispanic men of various ages, for speaking roles (audio only). Some may also appear on camera.
• 2 Hispanic women aged “twenty-something,” for on-camera and audio-only roles.
• 2 American Indian/Virginia Indian men, for on-camera and audio-only roles.
• 1 Asian male (preferably Chinese) for on-camera speaking roles.
• 6 good readers as narrators (any age, any gender) for audio-only roles.

 
These are all PAID positions.
 
The project will begin in mid-summer 2008; shoot dates are TBD. Please respond only if your availability this summer is flexible.
 
AUDITIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
Where: Williamsburg, Virginia
When: Wednesday, June 11th, beginning at 5:00 pm AND
