New serial drama seeks Japanese and foreign actors. The auditions will consist of two cold readings; you do not need to prepare a monologue. Headshots and resumes are appreciated, but not necessary. In addition to the roles listed below, we need people of all backgrounds and ages for smaller parts and as extras.
Production is planned for weekends from mid-February through mid-April. Not all characters will be required for all shooting days.
Actress “Yoko”
Age: 20s-30s
Nationality: Japanese
Language: Bilingual E/J
“Yoko” is a stunningly beautiful actress with lots of talent, however, she's also a kind, sincere, humble person. Although she knows she is beautiful and is confident in her acting ability, she is very shy off-camera, and a bit insecure and awkward when interacting in the "real world." She is genuinely a kind-hearted person who is torn between following her acting career and pleasing her parents.

Age: 20s-30s
Nationality: Japanese
Language: Bilingual E/J

Hmmmm.
I always liked 'S', the way you could keep it going all the way down the page, theres no definate finish point to it, it can vary so much and yet still be recogisable. Of course, it is no fun to type, only fun to write. But the sound is good too...
I kinda like 'M' for the same reason, when you write it, its just an 'n' that didnt know when to stop! My 'M's can range from one bump to three when im writing.
I also like writing 'e' so much that i use it for my ampersand, thats another one that goes on and on....
(Hmmm, as im writing, im realising that i like letters that dont end... i wonder what this means?)
And i sympathise with your number/letter confusion, i have similar problems with this kind of thing: 6ix, 3hree, 5ive, 7even. And the worst part is that when i go back and check, i cant see the mistake...!
(and when you're typing, what do you think about the whole {'i'= boku, 'I'= ore} thing?)
