Casting- Heightened Character Performers for Comedic TV Commercial

We’re casting adult performers for a series of short comedic video spots built around real customer reviews performed as dramatic, direct-to-camera monologues.

The idea is simple and fun: each performer delivers a real internet customer review as if it were a big, cinematic scene - sincere, heightened, theatrical, and played completely straight.

We’re open to actors, singers, musicians, wrestlers, bodybuilders, improvisers, theatre performers, and specialty performers who can fully commit to a heightened character on camera.

We’re currently looking for the following character types:

Opera / Classical Singer Type: A dramatic opera or classical singer energy. Big presence, powerful theatricality, and the ability to make ordinary words feel epic.

Pro-Wrestling Promo / Bodybuilder Type: Larger-than-life wrestler promo energy. Muscular/bodybuilder look or strong physical presence preferred. No wrestling contact required.

Latin Soap / Telenovela Star Type : High-drama soap opera or telenovela energy. Emotional, expressive, glamorous, and able to play big stakes with sincerity.

1980s Metal Hair Band Lead Singer Type : Glam metal / hair band front-person energy. Big hair, big attitude, stage presence, rocker swagger.

Shoot commitment: One shoot day, approximately a 3–4 hour block. There may also be a separate wardrobe fitting lasting 30 minutes or less. Filming Late July 2026.

Location: Chicago, ILUsage: 12 months within the U.S. across paid and organic social, web, digital video, print  and CTV/OTT. 

This will be a non-union production and we’ve budgeted a fixed $1,250 all-inclusive talent fee per person. The commitment is a quarter-day shoot, and the fee includes campaign usage/licensing of the content and likeness captured.

To submit, please send: name, current photo/headshot, role you’re right for, relevant performance experience, availability, and any reel or short performance clip to jyoungman@morningwalkusa.com.
