We are so excited to announce that we have a paid acting call for x2 UK based actors for our latest upcoming project! Thanks to the generous work of our funders and supporters, including The Royal Society of Literature, Arts Council England and Lift Off Global Network, we are working towards another short film project towards the end of year as a proof of concept.

This will include both vocal and on screen roles, with one of the actors working with us in a 2 day devised R&D in our home city of Nottingham. Each role brings something different, and we’d love to be able to collaborate with artists out there to make this happen.

Ahead of the role breakdowns, we feel it’s really important to state that we’d like you to go get in touch regardless of experience, representation, previous credits or filming abilities for self tapes etc. Auditioning can be a nightmare – but we’re a collective whose whole existence is based around emerging practitioners. If you have any questions, queries or would like to present your work in however you choose – then you can let us know by email (stghostycreatives@gmail.com) or by messaging us on social media should you prefer. We’re open – we just want to see you act however you feel comfortable doing so.

We especially welcome applications from under-represented and mis-represented voices in the arts, including but not limited to creatives identifying as Black, Global Majority, Disabled, Queer and Neurodivergent.

Unfortunately due to our scheduling, we’re not able to hold formal casting, and so will be going on applications alone. Please send these in an email, alongside a bit information about you as an actor, your journey so far, and some examples of your previous work in whatever format you choose.

We are looking for:

ACTOR #1

  • Any age, any gender
  • Shorter, vocal only role in the film akin to a narrator. We’re estimating only 2 minutes of lines.
  • Must be available to attend a 3 hour recording day in Nottingham, UK to attend our Studio space. The date for this can be agreed depending on the availability of the actor and the St Ghosty team.
  • £180 payment plus reasonable travel incurred
  • Must be living or from the East Midlands (this is due to our commitment in this project to using at least 80% artists from our home region in order to better represent regional voices in UK arts and film sectors.)

ACTOR #2

  • Playing age 25-40
  • Will be an on camera role for an estimated 8 minutes total. This will form a mix between monologues and incidental shots for transitions.
  • Rehearsal schedule to be agreed depending on availability but fee to include a 2 day R&D in Nottingham in November. This will be an opportunity for us to collaborate in the space, to experiment and to eventually record all required footage by the conclusion.
  • £300 payment plus reasonable travel incurred
  • Can be from/based anywhere in the UK

We can’t wait to work with you!
