    Hello.
    My name is Coral Phillips. So most people call me Coral. Others have there own special nicknames for me, come up with one if you’d like. I’m 19 years old and I live in Ohio. A town you have probably never heard of. I am an state tested nurse aide. Your first impression of me is usually wrong. I might be a little loud, talkative and a party girl. Most people consider me spontaneous but can be serious at the same time. my personality gets to most people because i let them be who they want to be not someone that wants to hide that. i do not have any acting experence but i always act out in front of friends and family. i would act out in front of class even though ive been told to do musicals and plays in high school but i never had time for that in high school. i was to busy focusing on school and softball. softball has been my life and ive been playing for 16 years. ive been known as the person to make peoples day.i also know sign language because of that i am hard of hearing. i lost my hearing when i was 3, it was a gentic defec without my hearing aids i wont be able to hear well at all… people have been saying that theres no way i could do acting because im hard of hearing. i just want to prove them wrong that i can be one heck of an actress. ive realized that hard of hearing and deaf people could the best actor/actress because of their facal expressions and just knowing how to react to different things. for me its easy cause i can pull off being anybody who i want to be. especially when someone gives me a role i could figure out on my own how to be that person with out any questions. ill be willing to give you my resume. thank you for taking your time to read this. id love to hear from you!

    Height: 4’10”
    Weight: 100 lbs.
    Ethinicity: white
    Eye color: hazel
    Hair color: brown
    Age:21

    Although I don’t have any acting experience, I am extremely charismatic and am able to adapt to any situation. One of the reasons I’m so interested in this show is because I began losing my hearing at the age of 14. I may not be completely deaf but it’s still unknown if it’s going to stay that way. Even though I’m hard of hearing I don’t let it get in the way of my everyday life. I’m just now in the process of having to get hearing aids because its getting hard to have to read lips all the time especially since not everyone can be looking right at me when speaking to me. I can really relate to the struggles the characters on the show are having and I feel like it would make me a perfect addition to the cast. I’m one of the funniest people I know and pride my self on being able to make others laugh. I am the definition of a babyface, if I didn’t have boobs I could pass for 14, unless I’m wearing make up I could probably pass for 25. The only catch is I don’t know how to put make up on nor do I ever wear it. I’m a very big believer of natural beauty. I believe I would be perfect for this show because I can adapt to any surroundings or situation and get along great with all types of people. Doing something like this has always been a dream of mine and this would be a great opportunity for me.

Acting and singing are my passions, and that’s what I want to do with the rest of my life. If you give me something to act, I’ll act it out to the fullest (without going overboard) I am different than others! I am adopted and I am not someone who follows other people. I do what I want! I am ball of energy on the stage and off! I promise I will not let you down at all! Sorry that this “resume” is a little disorganized, but thank you for your time!

  27. Tatiana Guzman

    Hello!
    My name is Tatiana Guzman. I am 16 years old and currently a high school junior; I graduate in June 2014. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I was born in Colombia and moved to Florida at the age of 3. This is my third year taking ASL at my high school and working with Deaf children.

    There are an immense amount of amazing candidates for the three spots that are to be filled for the show. However, I truly believe that I should be considered because I know that I would be able to provide the dedication, personality, and talent that is needed. I take direction really well and have been acting since my 4th grade production of Grease. Because of my involvement with my school’s ASL Club (this is my third year as a member and I have served as treasurer for two years), I have the ability to sign really well and I can act. I also speak fluent English and Spanish. It would be an honor to be given the opportunity to work with the amazing cast and try my best to make a spectacular show even better. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to be considered!

  33. Steeven Schlappkohl

    Hello,
    First off, I want to say I’m a huge fan of the show. I’ve seen it since the beginning. I’ve enjoyed every episode and always want to see more every week. It is an amazing show!

    My name is Steeven Schlappkohl, I have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I am 5’6″. I am very friendly, people love being around me, I’m fun and funny, and I’m easy to get along with. I am a senior in high school, I graduate June 2013. I am 17. I am Hispanic/White. I was born in Colombia, but I moved to Florida when I was five. I have a German background. I know Spanish, English, amd American Sign Language, fluently. I took ASL classes in high school and got to the highest level of ASL in our school, ASL 5. I have worked at a camp with Deaf kids. Also, my school every year we do an ASL show. I have done it for 3 years now and I enjoy every second of it. I love acting. My friends and family always say that they see me being on tv and acting. It comes naturally to me. I would love to be on this show because I get to do two of my three favorite things: Signing and Acting. The third is Film Editing. 2 years ago I got an ear infection that affected my hearing. Since then my hearing in one of my ears has diminished. I now struggle to sometimes keep a conversation going and somdtimes I need to read lips. I understand the struggles that some of the characters face and I can relate to them. If I was on this show I would be dedicated and I would work hard everyday. I know how to work hard aswell as to play hard. I’ve wanted to do this for a while now and I would be passionate and be my best everyday, if I am selected. I will not disappoint!

He has blessed me and helped me to reach out to companies and people to try to convince them why I should be considered for any role or video, well because I simply have talent and I am also very creative as well. My name Is Mikhaela Staley 5’5 198 pounds I am not petite but there is more to love and I can always lose weight if needed. I have blonde hair blue eyes and I try very hard to keep myself cleanly and looking fresh at my age. I was born, raised, and currently live in Ohio but I am willing to travel everywhere and anywhere. I am open to new and great ideas, especially trying to get on the show Switched at birth..The cast is amazing, the show keeps my attention and I enjoy the characters and the message it gives viewers. I learn a lot and respect the plot and meaning of the show. I would love to have an opportunity to bring some of my creative ideas to the show and prove my talents to viewers and keep the show strong and honest. I always get inspired watching the show and gain more respect for deaf people as well. Anyways I could go on and on but there is not enough space and I enjoy talking in person better. Please consider me and let me prove and show my talents and creativity, and inspirations to the cast and crew. Thanks so much, Mikhaela Staley!!

  46. Cassyashton Porter

    I live in Colorado and will be 46 in April, 2013. I am 4′ 11″ tall; have red hair (colored), I am white. I have attended many acting classes over the years, including a 6 month extensive acting class in Victoria, BC. Canada back in 2001. In addition to acting, I write children/YA books, poetry, and sign to music. I, like many people in these posts, have dreamed of guest starring in this wonderful TV series. I am a self-taught ASL singer. I learned through books and music and continuously study ASL. I sign a lot of exact English and it does take my brain a little longer to understand what someone has said to me in ASL,but that’s only because I’m not around a lot of signers. I feel fortunate to be able to know this beautiful language as my second language, and would love an opportunity to have a chance to guest star on the show. If needed, I am able to send in a signing video for an audition.
    I too, like Ms. LeClerc, have Meniere’s, though I have not lost any hearing. My balance is affected by this condition, and I also live with migraines sometimes. However, I would still like to be considered for a chance to audition for a guest-starring role on the show.

    I thank you for reading my submission.
    Sincerely,
    Cassyashton Porter

I even got my own impression videos and acting on my YouTube. if you want to see the videos of me perform as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. One of my favorite of all time since i was a kid. See if you like it and see how good i can act, maybe you can give me shot in some part of the next season at Switched at Birth, i will be so happy!!! =]

I hope my dream can come dream true with your help. 🙂

    Name: Adriana Francia Jimenez
    Gender: Female
    Age: 23
    Height: 5’4″
    Weight: 110 lbs
    Build: Slim/Petite
    Skin Tone: Tan/Dark Olive
    Ethnicity: Latino/Hispanic
    Eye Color: Brown
    Hair Color: Dark Brown
    Age Range: 14-20 years old
    Language: English, Spanish and American Sign Language

    I was born with a bilateral hearing of loss. Simply said, I’m Deaf. Although in the Deaf world, I am considered as Hard-of-Hearing. I am profoundly Deaf and I use hearing aids to help me to hear more. Thus, I am able to speak and hear very well. I am able to primarily lip-read, allowing me to carry a one-on-one spoken conversation.

    All my life, I’ve been going from one school to another school, transferring so I can get the best service I can get in. I was raised in a public mainstream school so I could be able to interact with hearing people in order to socialize better.

    I am of South American descent, I speak Spanish fluently. Although, I was raised in a bilingual household – hearing less was a long-term struggle for me. It wasn’t until I was in my teen years that I was exposed to the Deaf Community.

    To see their native language, American Sign Language and how they viewed their Deafness as a self-identity rather than a disability was a life-changing experience.

    I like to think that I am lucky, for being a part of the hearing and Deaf worlds. When I first heard about the series “Switched At Birth”, I was thrilled because the show can finally shed light about the false stereotypes and misconceptions that most hearing people have.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write my story! I would love to be a part of the Switched At Birth.

  58. Dusty Hunter

    Hello, I’m a 24 year old female from Arkansas. People say I look a lot younger than I really am. It has been my dream since I was a little girl to become an actress. I can’t ever remember wanting to be anything else.

    I came from a very poor family and growing up, both of my parents were drug addicts, so I never really had a way to pursue my dream. As I got older, I convinced myself that it would never happen, so I decided to go to college and get a degree, because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. You know, go to college, get a degree, and find a good job… all that good stuff. 😉

    I graduated college in May of 2011 and I’ve realized that I can either work the rest of my life for someone who went after THEIR dream, or I can go after MY dream. So I have decided to go after my dream (acting).

    I’ve recently been in a few films and a play and have a few other small projects lined up, but it’s hard to find stuff here because Arkansas isn’t very big on the entertainment industry. I am saving up my money so I can move to Los Angeles. I am giving this 100% and will do what it takes to become a successful actress and I know that it won’t happen with me being in Arkansas.

    I feel like I could be a great asset to the show and really hope y’all consider me. Email me and I can send some headshots and my resume 🙂

    Height: 5’0″-5’1″
    Weight: 90
    Hair: Reddish brown

    P.S. Switched at Birth is one of my favorite shows! Definitely in my top 5!

  61. Jessica Erdman

    Hi, I am Deaf and am currently a Master student, studying to become the Occupational Therapist. I am 22 years old. I’ve alway dream to be an actress since I was a child. I’ve never get a chance to learn how to act. I used to be in MIME for my church for a few years and I really enjoyed acting. I can read lips very well, skilled in sign language, I can speak very well and clear, I wear a hearing aid and a cochlear implant. I am able to ride and train horses. I’ve done it since I was 8 years old. I showed horses in few different states, in jumping (children’s hunter class, 3′ 8″ high) Since my riding life is over, I would like to try to learn how to act and I can learn very quickly. (it would be awesome if the show has an episode with riding horses, if you need a Deaf horseback rider, I’m the person you’d be looking for!) I adore Daphne in Switched at Birth, I feel that I can relate with Daphne about Hearing world and Deaf world. When I first heard about the show, I was thrilled that they have T.V shows that involve Deaf/Hard of Hearing people!

    I am not giving my private information on the public page like this.
    Please email if you have any questions!

    I’ve been watching this series since it first began. The characters are very inspiring, and well put together. I tried to learn sign language in junior high school and it really interested me. After seeing this show it made me see a different sign of it. The plot and story line of this show is really amazing. The events and cliffhangers are the best, especially at the end of a season. I would be honor to be consider to star in this show. I am also able to dye my hair if needed. I have 8 years dance experience, 2 years singing and a year and a half of acting lessons. But I have also starred in musical and acting productions in my high school. Acting and singing and etc. makes me feel complete and opens up a side of me that is always locked away. I am also very easy to get along with, friendly, hard working and reliable. Thank you for your time and have a nice day 🙂

    About Me

    I’m short, smaller framed, blonde and funny. I’m a bit spunky and I have an edgy side. I love to have new experiences and I am not afraid to try new things. I have a positive outlook on life in order to keep an open mind. I am easy to work with and can adapt to any kind of personality. I don’t judge others and accept people as they are. I am very comfortable in my own skin and very sure about who I am. If I played a role in a movie closest to my personality, I’d most likely play the goof, the bombshell, the villain or the girl next door. I am confident, but not arrogant or cocky. On Life With Hope, I played a young drug addicted teen named Kate. I’ve recently really discovered who I am and I am who I’ve always wanted to be. I am very serious about my schooling and acting career and 2013 will be the year for many accomplishments. I am ready to go the distance trying to make it as a successful actress. I am prepared for the many, many challenges that await.

  74. Clara Ryall

    Hi,
    My name is Clara Ryall
    I am a CODA kid, both my parents are deaf, i use sign language to communicate with them everyday, my signing is so well some deaf people assume I’m deaf but I’m not. i am a white canadian girl, I am 17 soon 18 years old, I am 5’7-8″ tall when i first saw this show coming out i was happy because now I don’t have to answer all these questions about deaf people, like if deaf can drive, its explained through this show. now i just want to be a part of the teaching process.
    Thank you for the consideration. 😀

  75. Lucas Talbot

    My name is Lucas Talbot. I am 18 years old. I was born and currently live in Los Angeles. I am about 5’6″. I am half caucasian and half asian. I am the only deaf person in my family. I was born deaf in both ears and I have a cochlear Implant on my right ear. I grew up in a hearing environment, so I took speech therapy for the last 16 years, just so I could speak english really well and communicate with the hearing people. It was tough growing up in my childhood, but I have always told myself, whatever position that I’m in, I would take advantage of it and make it fun for me to do, regardless of good or bad things, I would take advantage of it and have fun. So I have been really grateful with my life. I am a student at Cal State Northridge. I am learning ASL because I have classes with other deaf students. When I first came to CSUN, I was shocked by ASL because it was new to me and ever since being here, I have been motivated to learn ASL and communicate with the deaf community here at CSUN. Acting, playing sports, watching sports and I like to smile a lot and making other people smile are some of my many hobbies that I like to do and I am very dedicated to my hobbies and so I a lot of have fun doing it. I have taken drama classes back in high school and I took an improv class over the summer. During those classes, it made realize that I am very comfortable on stage and makes me very outgoing and confident in myself because I am a shy and quiet person when I am not on stage. It would really cool to be on the set of Switched at Birth in any role that there is, guest starring, recurring, or even as an extra. Marlee Matlin is one of my idols, she is one of the reason that made me believe that I can pursue acting and she proves that deaf people can be actors as well. She also helped me make myself be more confident in myself. She is expanding the horizons of jobs for the deaf community and I appreciate what she has done to make people take notice of deaf people, not in just acting, but in everything in general. So it would be really cool to meet her. Being an actor, on television or in a movie, would be dream for me come true, and I thought what’s better to achieve that by being on Switched at Birth in any role and working alongside such a good cast. Well that is my story, if you have the time to read this, then thank you for taking the out of your busy schedule to read this. Also, thank you for the opportunity to let me write this, so I really appreciate it.
