Seeking singer/actor with developed, soulful voice for upcoming gospel (CHRISTIAN) play (Tyler Perry style). Boston area. Acting experience preferred but not required. Actor/singer should have solid voice. Examples: Smokey, Luther, Al Green, Babyface, Eddie Kendricks, etc. Alto or falsetto preferred. This is a key role: actor/singer plays "the other man" and should be comfortable singing selected romantic (but clean!) R&B songs from the 60s-80s era.
Visual Specs: African American or Latino male. Age is between 28-50, or can pass for this range. Height (due to leading lady) is 5'11" or taller. Must be physically fit, with great smile and articulate in speech. Roles for other races, sexes and ages have already been filled. (Although we do need male and female gospel singers-any age or race- to sing one solo song in play, AND we need a group who can sing and dance like the Temptations. Send me your specs if this is you!!! Very few rehearsals!) However, this is the last acting/singing spot available, though. Sorry! :-(
Schedule: Regular rehearsals for actors are flexible for right candidate). More rehearsals and less flexibility as show dates approach ( MandatoryTech/ dress rehearsals and show dates are 3rd week in February).
Money: Role is UNPAID (small stipend may be provided) but great visibility before large audiences. Known gospel record producer and other locally known gospel artists who have gone national WILL BE in audience, so here's your chance to showcase your talent! (Tip: You probably shouldn't apply if you can't control your tongue, don't know what gospel means, or have an issue worshiping Jesus Christ as Lord. :-)
Next Steps: If interested, please send to email address listed: 1) several photos. Include a head shot and body (clothed) shot. 2)specs (height, age, etc.) 3) outline any acting or singing experience 4) your availability 5) why interested.
Professional resume and professional photos are not necessary. Thanks so much!
