Strange, inexplicable things start happening: money appears and disappears in Matt’s wallet; Janine throws their photo album out of the car window but it keeps returning to them.

Filmbase Student Shorts Casting call. Dublin . UNPAID

Firstly, thanks for taking a moment to read this. Most of you will know what Filmbase is. For those who are not so sure check out their webpage, filmbase.ie.
We, the students, will be casting for two short films in Nov. The shooting dates are 27-29Nov but actors will only be needed for a day and a half at most. As they are unpaid gigs we need to be sure that those applying for the roles are available on the dates of shoot. Again, thank you for reading this.
We are looking for actors for the following roles. 
Brief for characters:
Guy- 16-20- either chubby/kinda loser kid or just strange looking and sad in some shape or other. (I know that's rather vague). Shy, awkward, sad-looking, no real style or anything. Possibly looks younger than actually is.

Girl- 16-20 - Punk-influenced, small with dyed hair, piercings and the like if possible but the piercings are far from essential. Confident, vibrant, laidback but loud.

The guy is sad and dejected for most of it, the girl more straight forward but definitely mature beyond her years type.
Scripts made available to short list only. 
Those interested in the above can forward a cv and headshot to
scaripdemus@hotmail.com
We need all these by the 1st Nov. When we short list actors, who we think are suitable, they will be contacted by us.

MEET THE BUSIEST VOICE OVER EMPLOYERS IN IRELAND IN THE AFTERNOON

The voice coaching workshops run by Tommy in Velvet Voice provide an invaluable resource to copywriters and advertising agencies. By coaching new and upcoming talent, Velvet Voice helps to find new voices, many of which I have personally used for national TV and radio campaigns. The experience they gain from mic technique to delivery and projection gives them an advantage as opposed to someone who has never performed before. Alan Byrne, copywriter, Cawley Nea/TBWA
