http://www.total-talent.com Total Talent job list en-gb http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=30242 We are currently casting for an all-new web-comedy, based on the madcap lives of a group of university students in the North East of England. Anyone that has ever been young will be able to relate to this concept. We are making a witty comedy that is young at heart. Each episode will be around ten-minutes in duration and will be used to generate hype, exposure and popularity for everyone involved. Initially we will release the material via social networking sites and video forums. Ultimately, we aim to approach investors and TV commissioners, using the web episodes as a show-reel for all of the talent involved. Our aim is to create a show that can serve as a springboard for budding talent. The Internet is the perfect platform for new talent to make a start in the industry. (Think about where you saw this advert…we're all trying to get somewhere.) We want to hear from YOU! Mark 18-21 Mark is a comic book geek and aspiring film-maker. He is the sensitive type who generally hides behind his humour. He has recently been dumped by his girlfriend. Meg 18-21 An attractive law student who is sick and tired of being judged by her looks. She is a loyal friend and helps to keep people's feet on the ground. Keith 18-21 A history student. Easily thrown into a state of panic when it comes to exams and stressful situations. In normal situations he is very easy going. His girlfriend, Lorna, wears the trousers in the relationship. He over-thinks everything and tends to cry when he probably shouldn't. Lorna 18-21 Assertive, no-nonsense type. She can be blunt at times and loves to be in control. She has a dry sense of humour. She is Keith's girlfriend...some may say, his boss. Carl Out-spoken, loud and girl-obsessed. He is the only non-student in the group, but he attends all social events, (even when he's not invited). He has a habit of turning up in unusual places. He issues pointless advice with tiny pearls of wisdom. He is Mark's best friend. Sophie 18-21 Attractive emo/gothic/rock chick. Shy at first but ends up becoming a woman in her own right. She is very sweet once you get to know her. She is a film student, but takes a while to figure out exactly what she wants to do as a career. Josh 18-30 Josh failed the army training programme and is killing time until he is allowed to apply again. He is obsessed with war and guns, etc. He is studying history for this very reason. Works part-time as a paintball marshall. He is always covered in bruises. Casey 18-24 Mark's old girlfriend. She is training to be a nurse, and, after Mark, has hooked up with the most unlikely of rebound guys... http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=30306 Female singer to perform prior to my show, also required to assist with my sound by pressing start and stop on a mini disc player and assistant me on stage as and when required. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=30183 Are you an Asian / English female singer / songwriter, with a formidable voice, aged 17-23.

Stanley is a man lost in space and time, quite literally sometimes, you see Stanley is an insomniac and hasn't slept for a very, very long time. The world has become a strange, in between sleep kind of place. Especially with the enigmatic Jack Paradise appearing on the roof of his building every Tuesday night (around 12ish give or take). Stanley's nocturnal adventures take him to fantastical lands of imagination, he's quite aware that this probably means he's gone barking mad but if he can just keep it hidden from everyone else he'll be fine, just fine... I require a cast of actors for character and script development, this piece is under discussion with BBC as a potential series to launch on the BBC IPlayer. Oh Stanley is at the early stages so input will be hugely influential. Comedy and literary character experience essential. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=29963 Low key drama set in Bournemouth. Shooting over 4 days, much of which is at night.

Works full time but is not fulfilled. When he saves enough money from his job he has big plans to travel. Unsure however what exactly he will do and where he will go. Slightly naïve in this respect.

The concept of the film is based around the group as one. The routine is a formation dance routine where all performer's move and express themselves at the same time.

Filming will take place on Sat. 24th of May, there will be no rehearsal days, dancers will be taught routines on the day. This is a professional shoot with small crew, comprehensive lighting set up and 2 cameras shooting HD.

Danny O'Grady Danny O’Grady was born in Bermondsey in South East London in 1980 to Jimmy and Leanne O’Grady. He is their second son and has a brother named Sean who is seven years his senior. When Danny was three Leanne died in an unfortunate car accident, Jimmy was unable to grieve for his wife and this led to him distancing himself from his sons and immersing himself in his work and consequently this left Sean to look after his younger brother. Sean was seen to almost be responsible for the bringing up of Danny. Danny, a troublemaker, was expelled from school at 15 for fighting and never returned to education.

The show follows the adventures of 5 female government agents in the 25th century. AUDITIONS We will obviously be holding an audition session at some stage but it's a way off yet, we're looking to get the interest of people who want to be involved while raising the money so that we can hit the ground running. THE SHOOT We are still securing finance for the project but aim to shoot either in the summer or early autumn. We're aiming to acquire a large warehouse to work with a sound stage and build some impressive sets as well as going out and finding cool locations that can be used (saves us building it then) The amount of money we raise will also determine just how much budget there is for cast and crew wages, if you're not prepared to work for expenses then this isn't for you, however we're not aiming to make this for expenses, its just a possibility - you have been warned! THE RELEASE A release prior to Christmas is our target with each episode going live one week after each other. We'll be offering deals for people who wish to download the whole series as well as releasing a DVD with extras and behind the scene material on there as well. Promotional work will start as soon as the project gets the green light. We'll hit the Sci Fi conventions and hope to raise awareness and get some interest for the project. It'd be great if those actors cast could be involved at the conventions as seeing the characters in costume will undoubtedly attract a lot more attention. Speaking of costume, it's all very campy sci fi stuff, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers kind of stuff. The heroines will be dressed in very revealing but cool clothing (hot pants short skirts etc) so confidence is a must. Ultimately we're aiming this at the Internet Sci Fi fans who (without wish to tar too many people with the same brush) are big fans of sexy girls in little clothing. However the guys will need to look good topless too, particularly Alex Zander, Blackstone, Bain and Chief Krull. But the whole thing is sexy not sexual and we're looking to create iconic images of characters that guys and girls would want on posters on the bedroom walls, or at least as wall papers on their computers. Again this ties in to the pre marketing campaign where we want a lot of interest so sexy people in sexy outfits walking round a sci fi convention is bound to do us some good. SCARLET DAVIS 25 - 35) The leader of the team. Confident, intelligent and brave. Preferably a blonde, the classic 40s heroine. JADE AVERTON (20 - 30) The moody one. Jade has a real chip on her shoulder and doesn't trust anyone outside the team. Jade, dark hair (black almost) slightly Goth like. AMBER BAIL (18 - 25) Youngest of the group the most energetic, her martial arts skills keep her frantic personality in line. She’s a bit of a spoilt brat. A fiery red head - need I say more. VIOLET CROSS (18 - 25) Quietest one of the group and the most intelligent. Brunette, bookish typewho’s stunning with her hair down and glasses off. CRYSTAL ECHO (20 -30) Most opinionated, could be the leader if she wasn't so blunt. Saying things as she sees them is both her best and worst quality. Ti Ling - The Imperial Empress (25 - 35). A cross between Cleopatra and Ming the merciless. Evil, but cool and sexy with it. She is actually almost 200 years old so has not rushed her plans. This combined with her drive to rule the galaxy has made her a very worthy adversary to the Earth. Anna - Head of the Secret police. (20 - 25). Smart and firm, a perfect leader. She has one weakness (if can be called a weakness) in that she is in Love with Alex Zander - head of one of the local mercenary groups who work for Ti Ling but are not totally loyal to her. Alex and his men are considered a possible threat and Anna romance with him has to remain a secret. She carries this fear with her always. Tasha - Military Commander (20 - 25). She is after Anna job and is so driven as to the point of being unnecessarily cruel to her enemies. There's a hint of SandM fetish to her in both style, clothing and actions. She has zero remorse, loves no one and lives only to serve Ti Ling who she believes ishould be the true leader of the galaxy. Her only problem is her desire to replace Anna at the head of the Police, this causes Tasha to sometime act even more extremely in an effort to prove her worthiness to Ti Ling http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=29486 Looking For Strong Male Singers for Touring Group, Singers must be Reliable and versatile and flexible!

It is a short film being made by Bridgwater College media students, for college purposes but also professional purposes. The film is being made in conjunction with South West Screen for the current TOR programme. This means unlike other student films we do have a minimal budget for expenses etc. It also means that the film will be screened to industry professionals and will hopefully be sent to film festivals around the country. The film concentrates on the relationship between Maggie and her abusive husband Johnny. Her sister Eve is constantly trying to get her out of the relationship to no avail. But Maggie is pushed to the limit when Johhny comes back drunk again and manages, after a struggle, to leave him. Her world changes around her but the possibility of reconciliation surrounds her every move. We are passionate, driven individuals who want to make not only a professional product but an educational tool to show others the affects of domestic abuse. Maggie Maggie is a woman in her late 20's early 30's. She has been with Johnny all her life and is almost sympathetic towards him. She leads a monotonous life the complete opposite to her sister. She shares many similarities with her mother, an aspect which is also explored in the script. Johnny Johnny is in his 30's and loves Maggie but is just unable to show it in the right way. He cannot understand why she leaves him even though the reasons are quite obvious. He needs to have an air of violence about him but also needs to be almost emotionally unstable. Eve Eve is Maggie's older sister who is independent and successful. She always tries to persuade Maggie to leave Johnny and eventually becomes Maggie's refuge in her hour of need. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=29359 A ruined house has stood alone on the hillside for many years since its last occupants moved out.

The role is: Alan Dury, a depressed family man who wakes up one Monday morning, and realizes he doesn't like his life and cannot cope with his domestic lifestyle anymore, and then for no real reason other than his wife telling him to turn off the light, he snaps and kills his wife and two daughters. The story will begin after the murders have taken place, and the film is about how Alan comes to terms with what he has done. The story is a fictional however the story is inspired by actual events. Basically this Film is a character study, and this role will require an actor who has the ability to be able to explore the depth of human emotion in an expressive yet lifeless manner. The style and tone of the film will be very cold and slow almost surreal, and The film will be shot on HDV and will be approx 5 minutes long. I am very sorry but it won't be paid work however I will be more than willing to cover travel costs and food/drink will be provided, also I will give you a copy of the film on DVD. Shooting will take place "between" 05 May - 09 May 2008 Auditions will be held "between" 21st April - 2nd May, but no actual dates and location has been confirmed as yet I will look forward to hear from you.

Sondheim's quasi-operatic, relentless, musical scoring and powerful lyric create the foundation for a sumptuous production taking the audience on a powerful and evocative journey. 'Passion' sees the heroic young soldier, Georgio, who is having an affair with the beautiful but married Clara, being sent away from the city to a remote posting. It is here that Georgio meets Fosca - the sickly, obsessive cousin of his commanding officer. Drawn to Georgio after borrowing some books from him, Fosca falls fixatedly in love with him, and at her doctor's insistence, Georgio spends more time with Fosca in order to 'keep her alive'. Fosca's compulsive and yet unconditional love forces Georgio to question his relationship with Clara. Georgio asks her to leave her husband to live with him, which she refuses to do and so, ultimately, he sees the truth of their shallow relationship and leaves her. The Colonel finds a letter that Fosca emotionally blackmailed Georgio into writing and, believing that he has taken advantage of her illness, challenges Georgio to a duel. Georgio comes to the realisation that, either through empathy, pity or by the voracity of her love for him, he feels love for Fosca and accepts. The final scenes of 'Passion' see Georgio declaring love for Fosca and the duel taking place. Many conclusions can be made about the demands and the essence of love and 'Passion' forces the audience to face the questions, 'What is Love? Is it a demand or a gift you bestow?' Audition Date Sunday 1st June in Newton Abbot On application for audition please detail roles already played and identify which parts you are interested in and you will be sent the piano score and accompaniment for the relevant roles as well as the time that you will be reqhereuired to audition.

He has suffered an injury (we are never told what) and as a result he is given a non-combatative post. Both Clara and Fosca are attracted to his dark and brooding nature. His tumultuous journey is reflected in the diverse vocal range and demands. He is the central character and the actor needs to clearly demonstrate and define the various relationships through strong physical and vocal expression Audition Piece - Scene 9 'Is this what you call love' and 'Happiness' to be auditioned with Clara. Short dialogue piece with Fosca Fosca Mature Mezzo Soprano Voice 30+ Slim / Slight Sickly cousin to the Colonel, Fosca has lost all hope of life and love. She was cruelly betrayed by her husband, the ‘Count’ of Austria, and this has manifested itself in her physical and mental well-being. Almost willing herself to death she meets Georgio, and connects with the ‘wounded soul’ in him. She obsessively and cruelly pursues him, forcing him to question his existing relationship. The actress playing Fosca has to personify mental and physical illness in an honest manner whilst performing highly challenging, emotional songs. Audition Piece - Scene 7 (Part 2) 'I wish I could forget you' and dialogue preceeding to be auditioned with Georgio Clara Mezzo Soprano 25 - 35 Beautiful, but shallow, Clara is married to a powerful man with whom she has a son. Trapped within the social confines of a loveless marriage, Clara meets Georgio and falls in love with his malaise but refuses to leave her husband. Georgio is besotted with her at first and they write constantly to each other - this is the content of the songs between them. The actress playing Clara does not go on as much of an emotional journey and yet she has a crucial role playing opposite only Georgio (she has no interaction with anyone else). Most of her performance will be from a bed and she will be dressed in modest underwear. Audition Piece - 'Sunrise Letter' and 'Happiness' to be auditioned with Georgio Colonel Ricci Mature Tenor Late 30's With the authoritative demeanour of a man with power, the Colonel has taken Fosca into his home and cared for her through a sense of guilt. He welcomes Georgio into his home and introduces him to his friends. He welcomes the friendship between Georgio and his cousin but towards the end, on discovering their growing relationship, becomes angry and challenges Georgio to a duel. The Colonel is a man of the 'old school' military and probably hasn't seen active service for a long time. The actor must have a wide tenor range and able to show his compassionate side through physical and vocal expression. Audition Piece - Flashback part 4 'Why could I not admit the truth' Doctor Tenor/Baritone 30+ No solo singing lines but essential harmonic contribution The Doctor is an authoritative but tired man as his sole purpose, at a non-active military post, has been the care of Fosca. He has gravitas due to his loyalty for the Colonel and is highly persuasive, encouraging Fosca's interest in Georgio. He is instrumental in their initial friendship and shows his humanitarian side despite the Colonel's anger when it develops into a relationship. Audition Piece - Scene 10 'Nightmare' Young Fosca 18+ No solo singing lines but essential harmonic contribution in chorus numbers Young Fosca should have a sense of innocence. The actress will be Young Fosca in 1 essential scene playing opposite the Count. She must be open to physical theatre ideas and will be in the chorus for the rest of the show. Audition Piece - Scene 10 'Nightmare' Count Ludovic of Austria Tenor Voice 25+ Rest of show in chorus Archetypal villian, the count and his personality hark from a day gone by, where all villians have pencil moustaches and a long black coat. The count should be able to embody this sense of malevolence, almost asking for the audience to hiss when they see him. He appears in 1 scene comprised of a challenging 7 part song in a flashback sequence. The actor Will have a solo song and must be open to physical theatre ideas. He will be in the chorus for the rest of the show. Audition Piece - Flashback part 3 5 Soldiers Archetypal villian, the count and his personality hark from a day gone by, where all villians have pencil moustaches and a long black coat. The count should be able to embody this sense of malevolence, almost asking for the audience to hiss when they see him. He appears in 1 scene comprised of a challenging 7 part song in a flashback sequence. The actor Will have a solo song and must be open to physical theatre ideas. He will be in the chorus for the rest of the show.

We are adapting this story with a twist into a short film. My name is Caleb Shaffer and I am a Producer at The Northern Film. This is my Exam project piece and such we have high standard for it. We will be shooting on 35mm which we hope will help us to achieve this goal. The Director is Ronald J Wright who is also at The Northern Film School as a Director. He is a very experienced director and has had his previous work broadcasted all over the world. Hi, my name's Ron and I'm the director of the film adaptation of Hanif Kureishi's short story THE DOGS. I remember very clearly the first time I read the story, because my producer Caleb had given me the "Phobia" anthology to read and strongly recommended it. I enjoyed the book very much, but for me The Dogs was the highlight; even as I read it, I was thinking, "I've got to make this". I was struck by the dramatic premise, which is unapologetically simple: a mother and child try to cross a meadow and find themselves under attack by a pack of ravenous dogs. Though the story explores modern society's hysteria concerning dangerous dogs and children, I felt there was a lot more going on. I felt that this was also a story about the dogs of society, hunting in packs and always on the lookout for the weak and vulnerable when the sun goes down, especially on the fringes of society. I felt that it simply couldn't be adapted as is, because the subject matter of a child being killed by dogs would be seen as tasteless and inappropriate, no matter how good the film; it would be extremely difficult for us, with our limited budget, to shoot a film using real, believably "vicious" dogs"; and because I wouldn't want to shoot a film that put a child into those kinds of scenes. Even as I was finishing the story on the first read, we thought of a crazy idea: that the dogs had to be human. And this is key to the film adaptation I want to make, in tandem with some other changes. In our script I've added a little more to the character of the mother; she's a battered young wife, fleeing an abusive husband, but with nowhere to go. This gives her plight some emotional substance and puts their situation in some kind of context, which I feel is important for a film audience. Because of the difficulties of using very young children, the child is now around seven years old. The pursuit and attack sequence is longer and more gradually filled with tension, but at the end the mother rushes to protect her child and finds they are surrounded by slavering human beings, ready to eat them alive. Telling the story this way accomplishes some important things: it retains the tension and still plays on the fear of real dogs in society, but in the end, when the "dogs" are revealed as human, it offers a great surprise ending, saves the film from ending in a way that many audiences would find unacceptable, and also makes a broader statement about the all-too-human monsters that roam the land after dark. I feel that this surprising change to the ending makes it far more rewarding cinematically, far more interesting and thought-provoking. But interestingly, the more I have thought about the story, and how I have come to interpret it both as a filmmaker and as a fan of the story, I now feel that for me, the film adaptation of The Dogs is really about what it must be like to be a woman in modern society: constantly worried for your children, never wanting to let them out of your sight, constantly wary of getting into places or situations which you can't get out of, and the constant fear of the random, mindless violence of men. I feel that The Dogs is the kind of story readers, and audiences alike, will interpret for themselves, but for me, as prospective director, this is the central theme of the film. The Dogs will work fantastically well as a straight, disturbing short urban horror film; the potential for visuals and atmosphere is terrific. But for me, it's the underlying themes which make it a more substantial project. I think of it as a "social horror" film, which can deliver scares, but also get strong reactions from those who see it - whether they love it or hate it. And because of these strengths, The Dogs undoubtedly has the potential to perform fantastically well at film festivals worldwide. I hope that this statement tells you a little about my vision for the proposed film; it's a film I really want to make, and I hope that you like the ideas I've put forward enough to let us go ahead and make it.

For a dwindling band of survivors, twenty-eight excruciating days marooned in a lifeboat would take their toll - their lives poised between the bitter elements and the persistence of hope - and with the barest of rations, almost all would perish. New work, written by five star Edinburgh author David Walter Hall and directed by Tom Cornford (The Globe, Sadlers Wells, The Gate, Pleasance). This new work is based on letters written during WWII which detailed an illicit love affair in Alexandria, Egypt as the Germans advanced across North Africa. The play covers the subsequent flight and tragic deaths of a young officer and his married lover after being torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean on their way back to England. It's a powerful play; very physical as well as emotional. All the action takes place in a lifeboat at sea making it a close-up and personal experience for both the actors and the audience.

This will be a feature film and is being made for my FDA Yr 2 Final Major Study. The film will be shown and submitted to film festivals around the UK and internationally as well. This will be filmed completely in Black and White and in HDV. We are currently securing locations around Devon and Cornwall to film at. Tristan Tristan is to be in his late teens or early twenties. To be well built as he is one of the greatest Knights in the kingdom. Good looking and charasmatic, full of energy and confidence, yet, has a fairly good moral compass. Haircut should not be very modern and should be suitable to a medieval period. This part does require nudity. Iseult An Irish Princess, Iseult is in her late teens - late twenties. A strong minded, very attractive woman, who, in a world ruled by men, has the heart of one. Rather than being married for her father's wish or because it is expected of her, she would rather marry for herself and her feelings, so she is not in a hollow, empty relationship. Haircut should be reasonably long hair. This part does require nudity. Denoalan Denoalan is noblemen of King Marke's realm. He is arrogant and powerful. He hates Tristan and is a close ally of Godwin and Ganelon. This part is written for an older man however I am open to younger actors playing the part if they can play him well. Facial hair would be appropriate, but not necessary. Godwin Godwin, much like Denoalan, is rich, powerful and cunning. A close ally of Ganelon and Denoalan, he has a strong distaste for Tristan. This part is written for an older man however I am open to younger actors playing the part if they can play him well. Facial hair would be appropriate, but not necessary. Ganelon Ganelon, though in league with Godwin and Denoalan, is much more fond of Tristan, but doubts Tristan's ability as a ruler, when Marke's time has passed. Much more kind and thoughtful than his noble allies, Ganelon is far more open to change. This part is written for an older man however I am open to younger actors playing the part if they can play him well. Facial hair would be appropriate, but not necessary. King Marke King Marke is a kind, strong leader, who is as able on the battlefield as he is in the council chambers. Marke should be in his 30's or 40's. Though he is to be married to Iseult, there is little love that he feels for her. Priest The Priest is a clear sound to the talk of the council. He is wise and calm and a friend to all. His intellect and forward thinking is disliked by some of the nobles, but to Marke, he is his concience, to Tristan, he is a friend, though Tristan is not as comfortable with God as others in the kingdom. This part is open for all ages over 25. Bishop The Irish Bishop is a very strong willed member of the Irish court. He can be manipulative and threatening to the Irish King. Knowing how much power he has in Ireland, he is not afraid to throw his weight around. The bishop should be played by someone over 50, facial hair would be appropriate, but not necessary. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=25917 We are currently recruiting children's entertainers who can fit within our party structure (set up of our decoration and equipment, follow our party themes, etc...).

In a workshop-based approach, I will explore, together with the actors, our past life from childhood to old age, and how memories influence our sense of identity, the image we have of ourselves. This will then feed into our work with the actual text of the novel. Each actor/actress is going to take over one of the six friends, and look at their lives as described in the novel from a retrospective point of view. Who are these characters? How do they behave when they meat each other? I am particularly keen to explore how identities shift and change over time and in the presence of other people. I also want to scrutiny how close we are to our memories, and if it is possible to relive some key moments of our past, to restage and revive them, or if they are irrevocably lost.

'Captured' explores the complexities and deception involved in a love triangle with three people. They all connect and encounter lust, passion and jealously on the way. There is little dialogue in the film itself, the focus is more based on physicality, appearances and outward displays of affection. As the film has lesbian/gay themes the cast involved must be comfortable with this. The film focuses on four characters: ----------------------------------- Natalia: A 26 year old professional photographer who has not yet been able to establish a successful career. She is beautiful and artistic with a firey temperment and is having an affair with Mia. - [Model backround would be helpful but is not essential] Arthur: A rich middle aged man, who is a successful entrepreneur and is madly in love with his young and beautiful wife Mia. He is handsome and a man of presence, well built and dominating. Mia: A young and beautiful woman with supermodel good looks who is using Arthur for his money, and who is having an affair with Natalia. She is young at heart but believes she has found true love in Natalia and is very devoted to her. -[Model backround would be helpful but is not essential] Jonathan: A man brought in by Arthur to appear to be seducing Mia - while his real goal is to deter (and drive away) Natalia from her relationship with Mia. --------------------------------- Positions are unpaid but travel expenses will be covered. Shooting will be based in Stoke-On-trent and the surrounding area. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=23684 The life an times of Preston Watson. Preston was he the 1st to fly a plane?

Eastern European accent will be required i.e. Polish. http://www.total-talent.com/job_view.php?uid=22405 Gripping, tense drama telling the story of an affair involving a husband, his wife and his best friend. The play interestingly moves backwards through time, beginning with the end of the affair and then regressing to the first kiss. Violently dark, and poignant to the extreme. Betrayal is one of Pinter's greatest accomplishments, and a terrific experience for the three actors. Rehearsals would be three weeks in May, with performances running through June, July and August, across the Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire regions. Accommodation cannot be paid for, although we can aid you finding it. Wages are done on a profit share system and depend entirely on the success of the tour. Robert Major Role. Male. Husband. I'm reluctant to give character sketches at this moment since the process will rely so much on the three actor's own interpretations of their roles, close work with the director, and the dynamics between the group as a whole. If interested, applicants should read the script for more information and form their own opinions of how to bring these wonderful characters to life. This really is an actor's play. Emma Major Role.
