Jade HighHello, my name is Jade High. I’m very interested and would take any role given to me, whether it is speaking or non-speaking! I’m 17, About 5’11” / 6′ , and approx. 140 pounds. I am mixed with white and black but i’m on the lighter side. I’m a little bit on the skinnier side but not unhealthy. I have brown eyes and shortish black hair which is often styled in a natural afro. I live the DFW area in Texas.I have a good soprano voice and am in A’Capella choir at school. I have a lot of acting past in theatre ever since I was six and have had many star roles in known musicals and plays including Oz (Scarecrow), Tarzan(Turk), The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Imogene Herdman) and Alice in Wonderland (The Cheshire Cat). I once won an “All Star Cast” award (Basically runner up for best actor/actress) in Navarro County Middle School One Act Play competition back when I was in 8th grade. I’ve played many roles in various plays, but i’m especially good at playing witty sidekicks, creepy characters, crazy/psychotic characters, stupid characters, victims, villians/villian-like characters(for example, a bully),annoying/over-reacting characters, and just plain normal people as well! If you’re looking for a certain voice, I’m from Dallas so I have an average american/city accent, but i’m pretty good at Western.I can also make myself cry and really get into my character! I feel with my character, be it fear, sadness, power,excitement, etc. I am also good with animals so if it requires working with them, anything from house pets to farm life wild beasts, i’m willing to take it on!I am very good at keeping from laughing when not supposed to and am very mature at my age.(That by NO MEANS stops me from playing an immature character on screen!)Former directors of mine say I am a thrill to work with and work very hard at any role thrown at me.I’m also very good at keeping my cool in stressful schedules and situations.I would be honored if you would even look at this entry, let alone audition me.If you would like to contact me in any way, feel absolutely free to do so at shebrony@gmail.com.If you would prefer to speak to an adult, you can contact my Mother, Tabitha Wilkes at texasartspot@yahoo.com or by calling/texting 903-229-1036. 0 Reply July 8, 2015

Currently 20 years of age, African American, from the East Texas Area, I don’t have much experience with acting due to the last few skits and plays I’ve done have been more comedy like, allowing me to go off script. 0 Reply June 17, 2015

William RobertsYour comment is awaiting moderation.Hi my name is William but my friends call me Rome. I am a outgoing, friendly, charismatic, dedicated young man overflowing with talent. In high school is where I explored my many talents i was known as a singer/songwriter, a poet, a dancer/choreographer, and an actor. I’ve done at most 3 screen plays thought my entire high school years to which I was the lead in one of them. I also believe I’m perfect for this movie because I can’t just see myself being known for some of my talents and not all of them I want to make a living off what I’m really good at more importantly I want to inspire people like myself not to be afraid to take these chances and get out there. Even if I’m not amongst the talented others you choose for this movie I will still continue to apply and audition and will have thanked you for the consideration anyway. After all “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Name: William Roberts Age: 19 Gender: Male Race: African American City and State: Erie, Pennsylvania 0 Reply October 7, 2014

Yashanna BambergWhere do I start or what should I say? While I ask myself the same question “why should we pick you” only thing that comes to mind is how badly I work for this going to different auditions different agencies to make a dream come true. They say if you want something so bad sometimes you have to chase it! I am (5’10) which also made others out me down based off my image. I have been bully thought out my hold entire life, I have been that one that wasn’t really afraid to really speak their mind but the same one that will live off other opinion. I just want to show the world and most importantly my family that support me. I pray that this comment touches you and that it will allow me to turn my dreams into reality. I am 19 years of age.

Nellie BrownOueen Latifah seems to be a nice young lady and I believe it would be fun to work with the Queen. I would be honored to be on the show that contribute Bessie Smith. I read about Bessie Smith and she was a country girl just like me, but she was born in Chattanooga Tennessee and I was born in Memphis Tennessee. I feel the need to be part of the show because I am very Talented but I never had a chance to show how I can be creative with my skills, although I never went to acting school. I have a Bachelors Degree, and I am in school to get another Degree. I should be on that stage because I would love to show my country girl ways as an cast member in the show. I am a serious person in everyday life, and being an actress one have to have a serious mind, and be able to draw people to you. I have worked as a Family Support Worker and seem like my clients and other people I meet is drawn to me and they always like my personality. I believe a real actress should be able to steal the people heart even with your smile, or your characteristic should show it. I would enjoy being on the TV set because my hobby is writing short stories and poems, but I never got them published. I enjoy being around people especially when history has been made for people of color. I grew up in the south of Memphis Tennessee I have four grown children, and I have a compassion for people. I have the qualities of an actress, and I always wanted a chance to be in a movies. When I was a little girl me and my friends got hair brushes and made microphones out of them and we pretended to be the singing groups, such as the Martha Reeves and Minnie Riperton, and other groups. I will play any part, a bystander, a mom, a sister any body. I work out 5 days a week, and I eat all organic foods. I am 5″ 4″ I weight 138 pounds, and I am in fantastic shape I don’t have any medical problems. I would love to play any part in the movies even if its 5 or ten minutes in the movie. I pray I am one of the cast members chosen. Thanks, God bless you all. Nellie Brown 0 Reply September 12, 2014
