Sides & Audition Instructions

This project is accepting online video auditions through Casting Elite. Casting Directors provide specific directions regarding what they'd like to see included in the video auditions. It may be a simple introduction or a reading of sides. By customizing the content, they are able to see your personality and ensure that the submission is recent. You will have until May 31, 2014 to record and upload your video.

Audition Instructions/Sides:

Slate your name and phone number.
Read the sides for your character 2 different ways.


Howlin’ Hank Stevens/Begonia Moonbeam Sides

HOWLIN’ HANK (O.S.)
Howlin’ Hank Stevens waking you up
on this fine Monday morning!

The Camera pans around the makeshift radio studio. The
ramshackle walls are lined with framed photos of Hank in his
Hey Day.

HOWLIN’ HANK (O.S.) (CONT’D)
... At least I hope its starting
out better for you than it did for
me...

Black and White photos of Hank with a Pompadour hairstyle,
various large market radio station stickers and Posters on
the walls.

HOWLIN’ HANK (O.S.) (CONT’D)
... You ever get up too damn early
and stumble in the dark on your way
to take a leak and stub your toe?
That’s how I started my day... so I
take it back... its not a fine
Monday morning for me... I mean who
really likes Mondays anyway??


BEGONIA MOONBEAM
Wrap it up Hank, your ramblin’

HOWLIN’ HANK (O.S.)
... but, as always I have tons of
country wax to spin for ya, first
lets see what Mother Nature has in
store for us this week.

A weather music bed plays.
A dirty hotplate sits on a beat up table next to the
broadcast control board.

HOWLIN’ HANK (O.S.) (CONT’D)
... KDIL’S traffic and weather are
brought to you, as always by
Throckmorton’s Transmission &
Convenience store located on route
17.




BEGONIA
(monotone)
Thanks Howlin’ Hank. The next five
days here in Comanche Springs are
going to be warm and dry. Highs in
the mid 90’s and overnight lows in
the 70’s. Traffic wise, Armadillo
Valley Sheriff’s report... a deer
in the road on The Comanche
Trail... so, uh try and avoid
that, otherwise pretty clear--

Hank turns off Begonia’s mic, and jumps in.

HOWLIN’ HANK
--That’s great news Begonia, we’ll
check in with you again next hour!

Hank starts a song, talking over the intro.

HOWLIN’ HANK
Now, let’s get back to the music
... here’s Earl Thomas Conley...

(music begins)
...and “Angel in Disguise”...

HOWLIN’ HANK
Don’t forget we’re smack dab in the
middle of “The Comanche Junction
Holiday Radio Round Up” make your
pledge today and become someone’s
“Angel in Disguise” only on “The
Dillo F.M.”

Hank takes off his headphones and tosses them on the board
angrily. Jumping up, Hank walks quickly to the door of the
studio, flings it open and speaks angrily to Begonia.

HOWLIN’ HANK (CONT’D)
Jeezus Begonia! How many times have
I told you to stop with the “Uh’s”
and sound more excited when you
give the traffic and weather?
Begonia turns the pages of a magazine, without looking at
him.
HOWLIN’ HANK (CONT’D)
Moonbeam, or whatever the hell your
name is... We’re a professional
radio station... I expect you to
act like a professional
broadcaster!

Begonia looks up. Hank stands in the doorway of the studio,
hands on his hips, wearing the same dirty under shirt and
underwear he wore when he woke up.
