Sucks with a Z
Please read the full character assessment for your choice of placement and then attempt the script with the camera directed to a full body scale. Tip: have someone film you and read out the parts that are NOT the character you are auditioning for. (Only speak the parts of the character you wish to play) Once completed, pitch your own idea for a short comedy skit (think snl). If you cannot come up with your own skit, please attempt the one at the bottom of the page in addition to your audition for the role of your choice.

Character assessment for June Lockley
June is a 21 year old future icon. She’s obsessed with doing things on her own time and in the most dramatic way possible. June is going to be famous one day and she makes sure everyone knows it. She’s hilariously witty and sharp to a fault, no one compares to her or so, she would have you think. June has a little sister (Tara), whom she cares for, but that’s about it. As far as she’s concerned, everyone else is a background character in the moving picture that is june lockley the movie. Lights, camera, action!

Short skit idea

“Poems by meadow”
Tara is seated outdoors in the middle of a wildflower patch. A ring of daisies like a crown grace her head.
Tara
My name is meadow, I am a flower. I grow and I listen to the treees. I feel the wind is blowing but does it blow to me.
All around I hear acorns and squirrels scampering by. I hope I am not sitting in their nest. oh no I.
(A stranger walks by)
Stranger
Miss …are you okay?
Tara
Oh yes… I am only speaking to the ants and the birds. They were so kind as to share their lunch with me so I thought I’d share with them my words.
Stranger
Wh—why are you rhyming
Tara
I do not know of this rhyme that you speak. my only intention is to. vibe. with. the trees
Stranger
Okay…. Is there someone I can call for you. I’m uncomfortable leaving you here alone.
Tara
On the contrary I am not alone. I never have been for even at this moment I am home
Stranger
So you live outside or——
Tara
Shush…. Do you hear that? Oh now the birds are singing. They say they would like you to join us. Can you believe it?
Stranger
I’m not really tryna join, umm what are you doing now?
Tara is now moving around and dancing in an odd way. She carries grass from the ground and tries to feed it to the strangers who looks confused and tries to fight her off. The stranger soon gives in and the image changes to the two laying on the grass completely dazed out. Smiling and laughing.The voiceover speaks
