The people we cast for our soap opera trailer are very important because the soap trailer relies on their credibility. Because of this, we will hold auditions and audition as many people as possible in order to try and find the best people for the job. Because our script has no speaking parts, our audition will consist entirely of their acting ability and how they come across on camera, for example if they are confident and believable.
The type of characters we need are as follows;
Helen Should be an attractive woman in her thirties - forties, quite glamorous and very confident, trailer should be reminiscent of a catwalk
Deano Teenage boy, aged between 16-19, quite 'cool' looking - polo shirts, jeans and Nike trainers, tries hard to be cool and fit in - in audition needs to be flustered when he sees Danielle is pregnant, maybe tripping up a little and staring as he walks past
Courtney Teenage girl, between ages 15-17, clever (straight As in exams) typical girly girl, hair and makeup immaculate - in audition imitiates her mother, tries to get the attention of the men outside the pub - flicks hair?
Richard Man in his early twenties, quite suave, dresses in suits and shirts, top few buttons undone - shows his laid back lifestyle and personality, reckons himself as a 'ladies man' - in audition he stares as Helen walks past and winks, maybe pushing his wife slightly out the way
Stephanie Young woman around twenty years old, bubbly character, quite a quirky fashion sense, 'statement' hair as she is a hairdresser - in audition her face drops as Richard pushes her away and she turns and slaps him, starts shouting at him?
Danielle Teenage girl, aged sixteen, very pretty, blonde hair symbolising innocence, contrasts with her pregnancy - in audition have her smiling over her shoulder to Deano and then turn around, revealing her stomach
Aaron Male aged 19, fairly good looking, a 'lads lad' well dressed, in audition stood outside pub with his friends, as they all look at Helen and Courtney, he's watching JJ longingly
JJ Male around twenty/twenty one, the 'jack-the-lad' character, dresses smart casual, quite cheeky/mischievious, in audition raising pint glass as Helen walks past, cheering
