i’m interested in the part of Alex, who do i contact to audition for the part?
Hello, my name is Victoria. I’d like to ask you if I can apply if I don’t live in America?
I believe this is an un-paid acting job, so they are probably looking for locals only.
I am perfect for the role of Alex. Check me out please, and I live in Vegas as well. Give me a chance at an audition and you will see. Thank you.
