    Name: Emily Jacobson
    Height: 5′ 6″
    Age: 17
    Eyes: Blue
    Hair: Medium length/Brown

    My name is Emily, I live in California, and I love the performing arts. I have a huge passion for singing (though my voice changes often) and I love to act. I am a great dancer, mostly because of my many years of cheerleading choreographing experience. I am very charismatic and outgoing and have excellent memory (for lines)! I learn fast and have a lot of excitement for acting. I have no professional experience with anything because I can’t afford any classes or camps or sweet agents. I was very close to a few modeling gigs and an acting career with IMD, but again, not enough income to support that unfortunately. ABC Family is my favorite because every show has such an intriguing plot. Everything is so relate-able and dramatic. I would love to be a part of that. A few of my favorites are Make It or Break It, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Pretty Little Liars. I have a lot of raw talent, please consider me! Feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

  2. Ammi Faith

    Why I want to be part of this project: First and foremost I am deaf in both ears, i just got a cochlear implant just the passing summer. I want to show the people who bully me at school that just because I am deaf doesn’t mean that i am useless. I want to show them that i can do the impossible by getting a chance to audition for this project. I feel so connect to the show, because I am deaf and I know what it’s like. I don’t ASL because my adopted parents never told me about it till I was 13. I tried learning it a bit last year but there there wasn’t anyone in my family who was deaf or know ASL so i started to forget and stop doing it. But i would love to work with these actors and learn ASL along the line because after all ASL is dead language and therefore I am deaf. My family aren’t very supportive of my acting because they’re very protective of me, but i want to show them I’m not a kid anymore, I’m someone who will go after her dream even if she have to care the missing sounds along with her. I am a very hardworker, my interpreter say i am a perfectionist because I try so hard to make everything perfect (school work) because I’m afraid of failing.
    Age: 17
    Personality: Weird sense of humor (by weird I mean awkward), determined, love little kid, stubborn (yes i’m not afraid to say that), hard worker, sarcastic, a lot of energy, tomboy

I’m actually quite quickly at just making up one on the spot. In school I’m always part of school product like: We Will Rock You , Billy Elliot , Greece , Bugsy Malone and many more …. But I want more than just these musicals I want my shot! I love to go out with my friends to just chill and be silly. Also I love shopping and watching movies. I’m really good at socializing. I’m a very down to earth girl. I think that’s why when I get asked to play a role I find it very easy to be that person and that’s what makes a performance strong. I am always open to any criticism because I feel that it always helps to better that person’s performance. I am able to maintain a steady accent thought a performance… I’m a really assiduous person and when I want to do something then I do it from the bottom of my heart. It would be an amazing opportunity to be a part of “Switched at Birth”. I love playing emotional characters because I’m good with expressing emotions and I love emotional films especially when you need me to cry it’s really easy. I often think of myself as a very sociable person, easy going, loveable and I love just being with people and acting is just my passion and if I get this role you will see how good I am and can get if you just accept me. I know that if you accept me this will be a big change in my life that I will love!! I want it. More than anything more than he time at Christmas and I wanted a Barbie doll. I am good with memorising my lines but sometimes if I do forget as I’m human I like to use improvisation. I have good body language. I’m good at singing ,dance ,swimming , debates , volley ball , horse riding ,cooking , netball , looking after animals, learning new languages and much more .But that’s only a little bit about me
    Please keep me in your mind.

I have light brown hair. blue eyes, and I am 5’5″. I believe that I would be a valuable asset to the show Switched At Birth because I have lived through the experiences that are displayed on the show.

Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at your convenience…either way I am still a huge fan!

I am in love with this show and have the passion for it because it is so exciting to show the world how the world is in a hard of hearing and deaf persons eyes and the passion I have will be shown from someone who has lived it instead of trying to imagine the character, I know ASL and I speak fluently, and an expert lip reader. I am fun, energetic and outgoing. I am 5’5″, light brown hair, blue eyes. Any questions or requests, feel free to contact me at your convenience! Either way I’m still a big fan!

  28. Nina Rabes

    Hi!
    My name is Nina and I’m a 16 year old student from Germany.
    I would love to be a part of “Switched At Birth”.

    To my look:
    I have brown, long, straight hair and brown eyes and well, I`m relatively big (1,75m).

    To my character:

    I’m absolutely in love acting and also music and for me that is just all I need to live.
    I’m a fantast in a way but I also have ambition to do this. I also love dancing, but well, it’s not professional. I was dancing ballet and also the basic steps for classical dance. When I was little I also was part of different dancing groups.
    Moreover I play guitar and write my own songs.
    In school I also was part of the musical group and as child I was often standing on stage in my village for dancing or acting.
    I love to be outside with my dog and with my friends. Also I love shopping and watching movies.
    I’m a really assiduous person and when I want to do something then I do it from the bottom of my heart.

    It would be an amazing opportunity to be a part of “Switched at Birth”. I love to play someone different and I’m a pretty understanding person, so I could follow the feelings of character well.

    I often think about myself and I’m not the person with the most self-confidence but I know that everything can happen if you just try and this is my first step to get closer to my dreams.

    It’s amazing what dreams can do with you.
    But I love to know that something can happen now and i want it.
    I really do.

    So thank you for reading.
    I hope you found not that much mistakes in my speaking. 😀
    Well, I’m from Germany like I said before and I will work on it.

    But that’s just a little piece of me.
    Hope you keep me in your mind.

    Thanks,

    Nina

    I have shoulder length Dark Brown hair ( it sometimes looks like a reddish color in the sun), brown eyes, I am 5’5, and i weigh about 116 pounds.

    My Acting Experiences:
    In 1998 I played Tiger Woods as a newborn in the film “The Tiger Woods Story” directed by Levar Burton.

    On the Disney Cruise I filmed this new project/short film that has not been released yet called “Zombified” we spent about a week filming it. Its about teenagers trying to have a good time but then get invaded by zombies.

    Hey,My name is Brandon Maye I’m a 19 year old college student.But acting is my life. I’ve always wanted to act,all my friends, family members,& even strangers that I meet tell me that I need to be on tv. I’m very funny. But I’m very versatile I can also play a drama role.
    I’ve grew up in a very rough environment & house hold,with a dysfunctional family; so I thought college will be my only way out.As I see now that’s not the case acting is my PASSION!! my teachers at school always told me i will be the one to succeed in my life, cause I have drive and passion,they wanted to be model and do casting calls. So All I need is a CHANCE to prove my life. I’m a natural and people person I can related to most real life situation. I give my friends great advice,Im a very positive person. I love to see people succeed,if the ones to hurt me and did me wrong.

    Thanks Sincerely!

I took sign language classes in school and I’ve become pretty good at signing. Until I can be on tv I want to be a sign language interpreter. I loved the YouTube video of Sean Berdy signing Hero by Enrique Iglesias. Because of that video I actually filmed myself signing that song. It would be so amazing to be on Switched At Birth. I would be living two dreams. Please consider.

  42. Jeff Thomsen

    Hello staff of switched at birth,
    My name is Jeff Thomsen and I’m hard of hearing. I was raise with both world deaf and hearing. I can talk very well. Even a lot of people were shocked that I was hard of hearing or deaf. I use sign language when I’m with a deaf people or group, also help teaching hearing people how to sign. I know many different culture deaf, hearing, brazilian ( my wife is brazilian ), and christain Anyway, I’ve been watching this show switched at birth and made me really want to be an actor or be someone to prove deaf people that they can follow dream just like hearing people. I am 37 years old but a lot of people think I’m 22 or 25. I’m blessed with a beautiful hearing wife and hearing son who is 10. I met my wife at the mall when there a college group who want to learn how to sign in the food court. My family loves watching switched at birth and thought maybe I could be an extra or actor for switched at birth. It’s would be a dream come true for me and my family. Thank you for having a show where hearing people can see the deaf culture is like. There should be more shows and movies with deaf people in it like the inspiring movie called “The Hammer”. Jay is one of my friend in real life here in Tampa. If you want a picture of me. Please contact me at jeffthomsen75@live.com. Thank you and have a bless day.

    I live for Switched at Birth! I am an actress in Houston, an massage therapist by day. ( have to make a living somehow!)
    I feel like in this season or the next they should raise some awareness for the LGBT community. Bring me on as character in the lgbt community or Bring me on as bays long lost hispanic cousin. If not, then hire me as a massage therapist on set 😉

  49. Jennifer Costello

    Interesting facts about me: I…
    * am a 29 yr old redhead who still gets asked for a second ID
    * am a single foster parent raising nieces (brother’s suicide left 4 kids, I took in 2 during college)
    * have a Bachelor’s in psychology, Bachelor’s in Speech Communication, and an MSW
    * currently work as a child welfare specialist
    * have a lifelong dream of running an expressive arts center for troubled youth (hence the MSW)
    * am a “non-aspiring” actress with little experience (stage plays, movie extra, reality tv, music video) just hoping for a big “break” like EVERYONE else
    * met Marlee Matlin at UIUC, bought her book “I’ll scream later”, ate at a luncheon and got a picture taken with her (proud moment); she was REALLY positive/pretty/smiley while I was shy
    * have a deaf roommate of 7 yrs (use ASL in the home); when kids try to sign it’s soooo cute!
    * received the Suzie Orman Graduate Award upon graduation (her blessing saved my family)
    * have Tourette’s Syndrome, OCD, and ADHD
    * am a prophetic spoken word artist
    *****If I were to be on this show, I see myself popping in, claiming to be Katherine Kennish’s niece from a twin brother she thought died years ago (when he went missing) but really he DIDN’T die (until now) and I have no family left; I need a place to stay; I finagle my way into the family and her blessed heart takes me in and Daphne gets EXTREMELY JEALOUS of me and goes on a mission with her coffee guy to prove that I’m NOT who I say I am…and they uncover a WORLD of secrets about Katherine…and the question remains, “am I REALLY who I say I am?” Just my twisted sense of humor! LOL! Good luck everyone, this is a GREAT SHOW!!!!

  50. Jennifer Costello

    Wanted to be on switched at birth since b4 it came out; have a bachelor degree in psych, speech communications, and a Master’s in Social Work; Current child welfare specialist; Spoken word artist; Met Marlee Matlin at UIUC a few yrs ago and got a pics taken with her at a luncheon…she was REALLY positive/smiley (proud moment); 29 yr old redhead who still gets asked for a 2nd ID cause they don’t believe I’m actually my age; single parent raising nieces (big brother’s suicide left four kids – I took in 2 during college); lived with a deaf roommate for 7 yrs (use ASL in the home); long term dream of running an expressive arts home/center for troubled youth; (hence the MSW degree); Suzie Orman Graduate Award recipient; “non-aspiring” actress without much experience (high school plays, church plays, college theater group, elimidate show, movie extra, music video, and independent film) just hoping for a chance to be in the ONE show I admire. Would NOT give “anything” for the chance but would certainly work hard; LOVE Bay’s artistic personality – If I could be on the show…I’d probably play some shady redhead who comes in trying to claim that I’m the Katherine Kennish’s neice from a brother she never knew she had and he died so I need a place to stay now – all dirty and she’s buys my lines and takes me in (but really I’m a con artist just trying to swindle my way into a rich family!).

    Hello,
    My name is Jade Fowler and I have been deaf from birth. I am 20 years old and African American. I have participated in many of our plays when I went to California School For The Deaf Riverside. I had the privilege to be in an episode of Glee in the first season which was Hairography. I have be invited back to perform in the first episode of the new season . I would love to be able to be considered and end up in an episode of Switched at Birth. I want to say that I truly enjoy your show and have watch since the first episode. My entire family has started watching the show and if we are not at home we do record it. I am so happy that there is a show that is allowing people like myself to show their talent. I love all the characters and cannot wait until the next show. My aunt has told me a lot about Marlee Matlin and the movies she has been in. I can’t wait until the next show on Monday!!!!!!!!!!

  62. Shania Belton

    I’m not looking for fame, but an experience. An experience that some people dream about, i love this show because of the dynamic it has. Not only this show applies to hearing and deaf it had a great story. Really there has not been any really good shows except for buck rogers and Dawson’s creek, so i thought until i saw this show. When i was little we had a deaf person come into my school who taught us to accept everyone and not to judge on the outside cause there could be a whole lot more that we’ll never see. Once i saw your show i began to have interest because when Bay when to Carlton.She wasn’t accepted because she was hearing. Its a unique perspective because its like looking for the outside on the inside. I’ve always have had a love for other languages, but sign language is purposeful and can be spoken around the world i am aware the different types of sign language. I am a teenager, the age of 16 and i can sign every word in this paragraph because of this show!

I have been watching the show ” switched at birth” since the first season and I love how every episode has a lesson to learn. I love how this show is more than any other show out there. This show targets a lot of people in different situations and you never know the lesson of the show can make a difference in someones life who is going through a similar situation. I have always wanted to help people and make a difference. I hope you can give me the opportunity to be part of “switched at birth” and be part of this amazing show.

  64. Militsa Embaugh

    Hello,

    My name is Militsa Embaugh, I’m 22, I’m a female, and born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I’m profoundly Deaf, but I do have Cochlear Implants. I’ve attended a public schools with Deaf programs, two different Deaf Schools, and end up the only Deaf student graduated from local high school nearby my hometown. I’ve attended to some colleges, but i just couldn’t seem to find the right major for me to continue to graduate with the degrees. I’ve watched couples of episodes of your shows, i felt like, “hey that’s how exactly i felt with my past life” so basically, i just could relate to that television show of yours. there’s some facts about me. I grew up in both worlds (hearing/deaf), and not just only that, i’m also mixed (white/black), i’m into sports, and sorta of a tomboy. I love acting ever since that day i acted like i’m peter pan since i was 5. I’ve always pretending to act like other person around my friends, and all of that open-minded acting. I’m not camera shy, that’s a positive thing. I would act what you want me to act. I just want to be part of this television show, because basically that’s just exactly like how i lived my life with schools, and family at home. i’m seizing this chance.

    Thank you for taking your time reading this.

  66. Brianna Baker

    Hi, my name is Brianna Baker and as you probably know, just like the rest of the auditonees, I love to sing and act. I live in a small town of about 6,000 people in North Carolina, where there is absolutely no opportunity. I’ve watched switched at birth since it came out in 2011, and I love learning the new signs! The main character Bay, played by Vanessa Marano has always been one of my favorite actresses ever since I saw her in The Brooke Ellison Story and then again in the Clique. I’m 16 and at the golden age where I should experience these new opportunities as they present themselves! I don’t want to be famous, I just want to do what I absolutely love with an amazing cast like that of Switched at Birth. I know there are people on here that are more qualified than I, but I have heart, which is a quality worth taking a chance on. This year, I was prophesied over by a guest speaker at my church who believes I will be a great actress, I think Switched at Birth could make that dream come true. Thank you so much.

  72. Victoria Jock

    Hi, I am Victoria Jock, and I am twelve years old. Being on television has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. Just being on stage gives me a feeling that nothing else gives me. I have been dancing since I was one, I have been singing since I was nine, and I have been acting since I was eight. When I hear a song that inspires me, I get goosebumps. I want to give people the same feeling whenever i’m performing. I think I would be a great addition to Switched At Birth because entertaining people is what I love and do best. The first time I stepped foot onto a stage, I knew that that’s what I was born to do. I hope you consider me for a role on the show Switched At Birth. Thank you.

    Marisol Strauss
    I have always had to passions in life on modeling and acting I love to perform and be in front of the camera. I also love American Sign Language. Which is why I attended ITP Interpreter school. I would always go back and forth between fields because people would say models and actress can’t be interpreters. I worked equally has hard at both passions and one day I said I will work them together. I moved to LA meet Ken Davis owner of Deaf news paper. Staff and owner od ideas news traveled to many Deaf expos meet Joel Barish and many more. I seen the great they were doing and how they were pioneers in the fields. So I practice both passions and made them into one I would be Honored for the opportunity of being castes for Switched at Birth.
    Thanks,
