Role typeRoleGender & Age range
East Asain Grand ChildAll 6 - 11 Years old
Description
Please submit children (10-11) with smaller figures. MUST SPEAK FLUENT MANDARIN OR CANTONESE. The child is bright, energetic and happy, loves his family and has a great bond with his parents.
He/she is excited for Chinese New Year, and to take part in family activities.
The heart of the spot. Bright, confident, and adorable — proudly schools his/her family on Chinese New Year traditions ("That's not a hot pot, it's the circle of prosperity"). Needs excellent comic timing, natural on-camera presence, and the ability to deliver dialogue as you are teaching your family or showing off your knowledge. End the last line with cuteness and more happiness (or a proud laughter with your family as you get the toy).
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
East Asai GrandmaFemale 60 - 75 Years old
Description
East Asian (Chinese descent is preferred, but any East Asian is welcome to submit)
She is the matriarch, knowledgeable about all things for Chinese New Year. She is assured in her knowledge, loves her family, is proud about their achievements, and loves that they are keeping traditions alive.
Dressed in winter wear, as she is shopping at Walmart. Could have hints of LNY colours with the Walmart brand hues.
Her hair could be natural. Maybe a winter cap, as older people sometimes feel colder (This is not a must for the audition)
— she should feel like everyone's grandma.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
East Asian MomFemale 30 - 42 Years old
Description
She is warm, family oriented, friendly and excited to be getting ready for Chinese New Year with her family, in Canada. Playful and loving. About to say no to the Ram toy, then melts into happy laughter at her son's "Not a toy… it's peace and joy." Warm comedic instincts; great reactive performer.
