  9. Janna Swearingen

    Hello, my name is Janna and I have loved acting my whole life! I just finished my junior year in high school and am currently 16, on my way to 17. I don’t have much experience, but I have a sense of humor and I love role-playing. I’ve been in a few plays here and there and just have loved the feeling of being someone I’m not, even just for a moment. I participate in so many other things in school such as soccer, lacrosse, tennis and many clubs that I just haven’t had the time to participate in school theatricals. I begged my mom to put me in acting classes, but as a single-mom, she just didn’t have the money for it. I love the show, and would really appreciate an opportunity to be on TV.
    Some things about me – I’m 5’4 and about 120 lbs. I have brown hair and brown/green eyes. I’m really athletic as well. I live in Wisconsin but I’m willing to travel anywhere to audition.
    Thank you for reading and I hope you give me a once in a lifetime opportunity to act on this show!

  15. Justin Loncar

    Hello,
    My name is Justin Loncar, I am 21 yrs. old and I live in Warren, Ohio. I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am deaf, losing my hearing at the age of 2. With the help of two Cochlear Implants, I am able to hear and talk the same as a typical hearing person. This has not nor does it hold me back in any way at all but has motivated me to work hard to show that a “deaf” person can do anything that a hearing person can, they just cannot hear. I have had experience in acting and in the drama group growing up. I graduated from Film School in cleveland to become a Filmmaker. I would love to be part of this show because, this show is finally my favorite thing to watch because it helps deaf/hearing to understand everything about the life of being deafness. It would be an amazing opportunity for me to be part of this because it will make me feel so comfortable while making episodes because I’ll be able to talk and have some more experience with other people in the show with signing. I would be available anytime, anywhere and I would move anywhere. I really hope to be part of this because its my dream come true to show the world that deaf people can do this!

  48. Emma Anderson

    My name is Emma Anderson and I am 12 years old. My birthday is in June and I will be turning 13, of coarse. I have always thought that singing would b the career for me, but I love the idea of seeing myslf on a TV. I don’t have cable, or any way to watch shows regularly, but I do have Netflix and thats how I came across Switched at Birth. After watching it, I actually WANTED to become deaf. My hearing isn’t that good and my eyesight isn’t either. I’m blind or anything, but I do war strong glasses. Back to my reason for wanting to be on the show, I think that this show shows people who believe deaf people are retarded that they are better then they think. I have always wanted to learn sign language (I only know how to say “sorry”, “thank you”, “I know”, I can spell my name, and thats about it). Please let me know if I’m cut out for it. (P.S. I think Emmett, or Sean, is really AWESOME)

      sorry i meant to put that i’m NOT blind in my last comment.

  57. Nanyamka

    My name is Nanyamka I have been doing acting, poetry, music and dance basically all of my life. I am an african-american actor. I come from a family that is very passionate about acting and poetry. I love to express myself, I am know as a trickster sometime. I really would not call it that but at times I practice my acting in real life to make myself seem more natural. I of course tell people late on before things get hectic that I was just acting, and they all help me. I have not really been able to set out and pursue my acting because people in my immediate family where always sick. Also, i found out that my parents are very protective. I fell in love with the show since the first episode. I like how it brings awareness to deaf people. This show build them up and show that they are not as vulnerable or needy as people think they are. It has made me want to learn sign language even though I have proven to be horrible. I am a wonderful actor I can be a great add as a serious character, or more of a fun/funny character. I am currently just a college student going in the field of helping people, mostly kids. But like my mom said having more than one occupation is not bad.

  58. Courtenay McIlvaine

    Hey there!
    I am an aspiring actress looking for the perfect opportunity to show the world my true passion. I have been acting in theater since I was 5 years old and now I am 22. I studied theater at the College of Charleston here in Charleston,SC that I was born and raised and currently reside. I am a very diverse individual where I can look younger or older and can speak with or without a southern accent. I was crowned Miss Folly Beach in 2009 and placed a finalist in both Miss South Carolina Teen and Miss South Carolina. I am currently doing work on the Lifetime show Army Wives that is filmed here in Charleston. I would love for the opportunity to audition for a role in the upcoming season of Switched at Birth. I look forward to hearing back from you!
    Sincerely,

  60. Carlos

    My name is Carlos, I’m 18 years old, and I live in Florida. I have always loved acting and music. I was born with only one arm. I’m missing my two hands. But my disability has not prevented me from accomplishing anything. I learned how to play the drums with my one arm and I’m really good at it. I also learned how to play the piano with my toes and I’m also good at it. I would love to become part of this show. I have loved it from the beginning. I know I would do an awesome job in it. There are so many things that could happen in the show with a person with no hands that plays the piano with his feet. Please take me into consideration. I have always loved acting and I will always do. I think one of the things that make me a good actor is the fact that I have gone through many things through out my life. I really hope I get the opportunity to show the world that disabilities dont prevent people from accomplishing their dreams. What prevents people is their will and dedication. Thank you for reading this.

  62. Brian Gray

    Hi my name is brian gray i am from covina califorinia and me and my girlfriend would like to be apart of ur show. we are both 19 and graduates from high school she is deaf and i am hearing i met her 3 years ago at school and fell in love with her so i rented a sign book and i learned to talk to her. funny thing is it was the wrong book so she had to re teach me and the first month of being with eachother from then till now we have just ben un seperable . i learned asl to be with her like the charectar bay learned for emmit .
    i think we can be like a couple in the series that becomes friends with the cast i think the show is awsome and really gives people a message that says being deaf is not a disability because u can do anything u want no matter what kind of person you are.
    please give us a chance in being in ur show i think we would be a good adition were both out going and loved to be involed with others.
