                           Demo Reels:

                           Please begin by introducing yourself in a casual, conversational manner
                           and tell us how you visualise the character and intend to portray her.
                           For   for the majority of this production, Freda, Jessica, and the secretary are
                           held hostage in a back room of the villain's headquarters - in simple skit
                           format and using your own dialogue, show us how you would portray
                           either of the characters caught up in such a situation. Actors usually have
                           more than one image come to mind when contemplating a character or
                           visualising a scene, be it variations in personality, props, wardrobe, hair-
                           style, etc... You may do a variety of interpretations, as long as each is
                           unique and not repetitive.  There is no set time limit, within reason - to be
                           quite  blunt, we have enough expeience to know when we've seen enough,
                           or on the other hand, continue watching - you be the judge.
                          Considering the target audience, these parts should be played as very light
                          drama. We have enclosed below a clip from the 1988 film the 'Big Hit' as a
                          very rough guide on which to base your demo reel.  Actors are advised to
                          concentrate on showing the interaction between the three characters in their
                          predicament (communicating with each other with facial expression, body
                          language, sounds etc..)  Actors can simply play to imaginary characters
                          off camera or use stand ins for these parts as long as the latter do not
                          dominate the scene.

                           **We represent a broad based international audience and encourage those from
                              diverse ethnic backgrounds to audition.
