Young actress (w/d) for a TV and movie theater commercial for an international automotive client

For an atmospheric, pre-Christmas TV and movie commercial for an international automotive client, we are looking for diverse personalities and authentic faces from a wide range of generations.

Through several unrelated vignettes, the film captures brief moments of being on the move: People on their way home, traveling through wintry landscapes, cities, and nights—on their way to the people and places that matter to them.

At first, the individual scenes appear independent of one another, but as the film progresses, they come together emotionally to form a larger whole.

Please record videos following the instructions below. Of course, recordings made with a cell phone or similar device are acceptable.

However, please ensure that your faces and your acting are clearly visible.

Part 1

Please briefly introduce yourselves at the beginning:

• Name

• Age

• Place of residence

• Acting training / experience

• Selection of previous projects

Particularly relevant:

• Automotive campaigns

• Current TV/movie commercials

Availability in August / September  (please also explicitly state any time periods when you are definitely unavailable)

Please film yourself during the introduction:

• front view / portrait (i.e., roughly a close-up)

• Close-up profile / left and right

• Medium close-up and full-body shots—again, include both profiles

• Please also show your hands in close-up during the close-up shot!

 
Part 2 “Scenes”

Please select the appropriate part—including the lines of dialogue—for which you are applying, based on the role description and the character’s age.

Important Note!

All roles and gender assignments described are intended solely as an initial creative guide for tone, dynamics, and scene.

Applications are welcome regardless of gender identity or personal background!

Please apply for the role or situation with which you most strongly identify, both emotionally and in terms of age.

SCENE 1 — “IN TRAFFIC”

You’re sitting in the car after a long day at work.
Outside: winter rain, traffic, reflections of light.

You’re exhausted—but the thought of getting home is slowly lifting your spirits.

Please portray:

• Tension

• Letting go (relaxing)

• A little anticipation (please don’t “overact”)

SCENE 2 — “THE RESOLUTION”

You arrive.
You open the front door—and suddenly there’s warmth, life, noise.
This is your family. Loud, wild, crazy, chaotic.

Please speak slightly past the camera and only to yourself:

“Let’s get this show on the road.”

Important: You should still convey how happy you are to be here. You love all these crazy people and the noise.

At the end of the take, take another visible deep breath and let’s go (taking a step forward toward the camera is more than enough).

Please also run through these alternative lines:

“Well, that was definitely worth the trip.” (with a slight smile)

“I guess this is exactly where I belong—happy Christmas.”
