Looking to fill the following roles:
role 1 | actors | female
playing age: 40 - 50
role languages: English
ROLE: Lisa
f, 40-50, any ethnicity, ideally based in or around Bath.

**Role Description** Lisa is preparing an incredible sandwich at work with scientific levels of detail. First of all, she places two slices of bread and carefully arranges them next to one another. She spreads carefully, opens a jar, and places a few pickles inside. Then she slides down her scientific eye protection and gets out a tiny blowtorch to toast the edges. She does all this with an almost nonchalant attitude. Whilst everything is done with precision, she maintains a soft smile and calm demeanour. She has this routine down now. Even when a colleague walks behind her, she smiles at them while continuing her routine. This whole process should take around 20 seconds.

**Compensation**
Total Pay: £750.00 for an estimated 10 hours of work (flat rate)

*For consideration, include a recent headshot and showreel. Will require a casting tape for lead roles.
role 2 | actors | female
playing age: 45 - 60
role languages: English
ROLE: Jennet
f, 45-60, any ethnicity, ideally based in or around Bath.

**Role Description** Jennet doesn’t care for technology and especially despises it when it goes wrong. Jennet storms into Jeremy's office with her laptop in her arms and spins it around to show him (pointing it towards the camera) that there is an error message. She is adamant that it’s the laptop’s fault and insists she did *not* press anything wrong. She is furious. She shouts this at her colleague Jeremy and demands that he fix it, emphasising that it’s his job. Jennet exhibits a belligerent attitude and looks down on her colleague Jeremy in IT. This whole routine should take around 20 seconds.

**Compensation**
Total Pay: £750.00 for an estimated 10 hours of work (flat rate)

*For consideration, include a recent headshot and showreel. Will require a casting tape for lead roles.

role 3 | actors | male
playing age: 28 - 40
role languages: English
ROLE: Jeremy
m, 28-40, any ethnicity, ideally based in or around Bath.

**Role Description** Jeremy is a very calm and meek character who finds comfort in hiding away in his office and tending to his Bonsai tree. He is carefully inspecting his Bonsai and is about to make a precise snip on one of the branches when he is suddenly disrupted by a colleague bursting through his office door. Startled, he slips slightly and is visibly alarmed, accidentally snipping off a large chunk of the tree. As he realises what he’s done, he looks down in wide-eyed shock at the dismembered branch, then back up at his colleague in the doorway, and back down at the branch again. His shoulders drop, and he lets out a large, sorrowful sigh. This whole routine should take around 20 seconds.

**Compensation**
Total Pay: £750.00 for an estimated 10 hours of work (flat rate)

*For consideration, include a recent headshot and showreel. Will require a casting tape for lead roles.
role 4 | actors | male
playing age: 20 - 30
role languages: English
ROLE: Bob
m, 20-30, any ethnicity, ideally based in or around Bath.

**Role Description** Bob is sitting in a meeting, spinning a pen between his fingers or tapping the table when, all of a sudden, his boss calls his name. He snaps out of his daydream, drops or throws the pen, and stands up suddenly, looking extremely sheepish and wide-eyed. His boss is asking him to speak Japanese to a client. Bob is too afraid to admit that he doesn’t speak Japanese, so he stands there in a panic for a moment, his lips trembling, perhaps rubbing his hands on his trousers to wipe the nervous sweat away. His lips start to mouth some words, but no sound comes out… This whole routine should take around 15–20 seconds.

**Compensation**
Total Pay: £750.00 for an estimated 10 hours of work (flat rate)

*For consideration, include a recent headshot and showreel. Will require a casting tape for lead roles.
role 5 | actors | male
playing age: 30 - 40
role languages: English
ROLE: Tim
m, 30-40, any ethnicity, ideally based in or around Bath.

**Role Description** Tim is leaning back in his office chair at his desk, holding a cup of tea or coffee. His eyelids are still slightly drooped—it's early, and he's still waking up. Suddenly, he does a double-take as he sees his colleague walking over wearing very revealing shorts in the office. Tim slowly sits up, wide-eyed with shock and a hint of fear on his face. His colleague takes a seat in front of him, and Tim’s eyes follow him around the desk. Tim’s expression shifts to one of grim defeat as he realises that his colleague will be wearing these shorts all day at his standing desk, positioned directly in front of Tim. This whole routine should take around 20 seconds.
