TV COMMERCIAL CASTINGS
Whether you have been involved in commercial productions before and are eager to do more or want to dip your toes in for the first time, we have so many castings popping up all over the Tampa Bay, FL area there may be a role that is right for you.
If not today, maybe tomorrow so make sure to subscribe to my email announcements and follow my Facebook page which is the first place all castings are posted.
ALL CURRENT CASTINGS ARE CLOSED
While we do not have current castings to offer you, if you are new here, you are welcome to submit your current photos and information for future castings.
To be added to our database of contacted talent when projects arise, please use the email subject "Future Talent" and email hello@brianamichel.com with the following:
-
Your Full Name (and screen name, if different)
-
Phone #
-
Age

Height
-
Ethnicity
-
Any special talents, skills or occupation
-
Language spoken
-
ATTACH CURRENT PHOTOS - photos need to have been taken within the past 3 months, have NO filters or editing done to them. No sunglasses or hats. Photos do not need to be taken by a professional, but you should still take stand alone photos of just you in natural/good light so photos are clear and high resolution. You must also be wearing family-friendly appropriate attire (**NOTE*** If you are unsure what "family friendly attire" consists of then I likely do not have TV commercial shoots that will be a good fit for you!)
To Submit Children for Castings (anyone under the age of 18)
-
a parent/guardian must be listed as the point of contact with BOTH phone and email

Childs name

-
Does child have braces or currently missing teeth? - please make sure photos submitted are from within the past MONTH.

Photos of kids should be of them as KIDS, not dolled up for glamour shots or stage/theatre performances please! Photos can be as simple as you snapping photos of them laughing and playing outside as long as the pictures are forward facing, clear and good resolution.
What to Know:
You do not need to have professional acting or modeling experience to apply. Nor do you need to have expensive professional headshots.
What you do NEED is a professional demeanor, a quick response time, a positive attitude and excellent followthrough.
If you are new to production you should know this can be fast moving or it can be "hurry up and wait", so being flexible and understanding is the best way to come into this business and have longevity here.
PHOTOS:
-
Always send CURRENT photos, meaning, the same hair color and style and for men the same facial hair that you would show up to set with. If you wear wigs, change up your cut/color often, etc then make sure you are sending photos that represent the most current you.
-
Send one headshot smiling (show the pearly whites) - unless it is a "serious" roll you are casting for, please don't "tough - guy/ mean mug it"
-
Send 2-3 lifestyle full-length photos in different outfits, for example casual (jeans and t-shirt, athletic wear and business casual or date night attire)
PRO TIPS:
-
DO NOT send photos wearing sunglasses or hats.
-
DO NOT apply filters, skin touch ups/blurring or send monochromatic (black & white) photos.
-
Simple naturally lit photos that represent the fun but professional, day-to-day, put-together version of you are perfect.
-
We typically want to see you more natural and not over glammed up. This especially applies to children who are being submitted. Please do not send in pageant-style photos - we want kids to look like kids.
VIDEOS:
Not all roles will require speaking, but if you are applying for a speaking role you will need to do a self-taped audition. This is typically 30-60 seconds with your name, age, occupation, an answer or description of whatever topic the casting producer may request or something interesting about yourself.
PRO TIPS:
-
If your casting requires a video submission BE YOURSELF. Do not write a script and read from it, when possible or unless asked to read a specific script. We are looking for people who can speak from the heart and head as if talking to a friend (unless otherwise directed) not reading from a piece of paper.
-
Do NOT make your tape long-winded. We have a lot of people to get through and if we think you cannot be concise and respect people's time you may not get chosen.
