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

  • Age & DOB

  • Height

  • Ethnicity

  • Any special talents, skills, sports, activities

  • Language(s) spoken

  • Any prior on camera experience (just a brief overview if experience is extensive)

  • 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.
Why is booking a paid commercial through Briana great?

1. You often earn more than you would if signing with an agency. The rate that is listed is your full take-home pay! 

2. You will feel prepared. I will make sure you have all the details and are prepared for your shoot. I handle all invoicing on your behalf, so your focus is showing up on time, prepared and doing your best on the day of the shoot.

3. You will only be working with production companies I have had positive and professional experiences with. I do not list castings from unfamiliar sources. I have been in TV production in the Tampa Bay, FL area since 2010. 

4. I am on your side. I am focused on you having a positive experience, if there are any issues that arise (although rare) you come to me and I will be your advocate. 

5. Increase your odds. Production companies and directors come to me to find new talent. They come to me looking for fresh faces instead of always seeing repeats from the talent agencies. I intentionally pitch a very select pool of candidates that really get noticed by producers and your chances of booking if I submit you directly go up. 

6. You get paid faster! Industry-standard is to pay NET 30, meaning you receive a check 30-days from the invoice date after the shoot. I submit your invoice the day you show up to set. If you were to book through another agency, they would be paid first at 30 days then you would eventually receive a check from your agent... which can be upwards of 45-90 days in some cases. 

LOYALTY & HONESTY CLAUSE TERMS: 
I do require that if you book a job through me initially, that if you are then contacted to book another job from that same producer or client that you refer them back to me for your booking. They typically will contact me but should they forget and connect directly with you, it is your professional courtesy to refer them back to me.
Otherwise, you will not be submitted for future castings with me again, this is fair.
**By submitting to ANY of my castings you agree to this above terms**
