    I love acing, singing, and dancing, and I have been doing them all my life! I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have music and theatre in my life. I have been in shows such as ‘Dig It’ and ‘Peter Pan’ where I was a dancer, and ‘The Little Mermaid’ where I played Ariel as a Freshman in my school’s play. I long to make something of my life through acting and singing, and I’ve come a long way from where I was. I work very hard to get things accomplished, and I would be overjoyed to be considered for a part!

    A little about me, I’m a extremely hard working that doesn’t give up. I’ve been wanting to act since I was a child and I’m determined to make my dreams come true. I know everyone is going to say that they were a fan of the little mermaid as a child, I however am infatuated with mermaids in general one of my favourite documentarys is Mermaids: the body found. I’ve also looked into the mermaid school In the phillipenes. I don’t have acting experience, which might be a turn off. However I feel if I was casted you would be happy with your decision.

    I’ve been singing, dancing, and acting aince I was 3 years old. I’ve been saying for years a live action Little Mermaid needs to be made and hearing that it finally is I couldn’t not reply! The little mermaid has been my absolute favourite since I was born! I even dyed my hair red for over a year. I think I would be perfect for this role. I have that innocence that Aerial has and adventurous side. I love that it’d be a very cool experience to be acting without a voice. Very dramatic with the facial expressions. Aerial is just so young cute and adorable!

    Experience:
    Alice In Wonderland – musical – flower/dancer
    Annie – musical – orphan/dancer
    Charlie & The Chocolate Factory – musical – grandpa/dancer
    Anthem singer

  6. Penney Pattison

    If mermaids existed, I would be a mermaid. I love seafood, actually more than anything else & when I’m at the sea, I always feel at ease. I grew up watching disney movies & Ariel was one of my favorite Disney princesses because she had the ability to live in 2 different environments, given the circumstances she had to give up her voice, but none of the other princesses could do that! I love science fiction & it would be an honor to be able to participate on this production.

  7. Amani Jackson

    My name is Amani Jackson and I would love to be apart of this upcoming film. I most likely wouldn’t play the role of Arial, but I would still love to be apart of the film. I am 5’1, African American. I weigh 119 and I wear a size medium (6). Acting has always been a way to escape for me. Each character I end up playing has different backgrounds and because of that I reflect my acting on how I think the character feels. If I am picked I am looking forward to working in this film.

    As a child, the Little Mermaid was one of my favorite films. I grew up with the dream to act, and have much experience with sea life and anything related to the ocean. I have a talent in music as well. Although I have many reasons for wanting to audition, I would rather keep it short and simple. I can improvise and play out any emotions that would be needed, and I adapt very well. I hope to be considered for this part, since its my long dream to be a mermaid.

    I am able bodied and flexible.
    I take care of my skin.
    I am friendly and will always come to set with a positive attitude!

    I do A-level theatre, in which I have achieved A’s and A*’s in all performances.

    Acting and film has been something I’ve been drawn to for many years, pairing this with The Little Mermaid would be wonderful – a story I have loved since I first watched it as a child, I always used to pretend to be a mermaid in the bath! Also, a chance to work with Sofia Coppola, who’s films I adore would be a dream come true.

    I am a huge fan of film and the process that goes into making it, so to be allowed even a moment on set would be a memory I would treasure for a lifetime. Every day would be an absolute privilege.

    Thank you 🙂 x

  21. Morgan flett

    Growing up the little mermaid had always been my favourite disney princess, I often thought that she was amazingly inspiring, and the fact that she was a sister to so many other mermaids, but still found a way to be different and stay true to herself was something that I though showed true bravery and shows she has great character, not only was her hair a big reason of why she stood out, but another was because she had dreams, and no matter how big or different or impossible her dreams are.. She never gave up, she did what she had to do to obtain her goals, and in a way, if we all had that kind of thought I imagine we could get fairly far in life, not only was her dream obserd and unheard of from a mermaid.. But She also wanted to find love, and the fact that she stayed true to herself through all of that was inspiring.. I feel like I could connect to this role in so many ways on somany levels, because I know how hard it is to fit in, when your born to stick out, and the fact that I have sisters and a family that is very difficult to deal with at times, would make it easy for me to connect to this character and this role, I’ve also had my hair died bright red, since she is my role model, so I know that I can work with that colour and that It would be a dream come true..I hope u consider me! Thank u.

    I’m fifteen going sixteen on march and I currently go to high school. I know that’s young but hey technically its Ariel’s age and I could definitely relate to her in a way because just like her I want the freedom to explore the unknown. Which is why I really want to be an extra on this film in particular. I would be happy with whatever role (big or small) you throw my way. Hope you at least consider me! 🙂

    K, Bye!

  24. Jada Jourdain

    My name is Jada Jourdain.. But I prefer Jay. I’m 5’1.5 , Dark skinned and 16 years old. Born and raised in the good ole’ Texas. My friends think I’m funny, but if you ask me I’m hysterical. I love to dance , been doing it since I was 6 years old. I write my own music , which I love to do as well rap and sing. Oh, and I love art.. I actually been awarded 1st in my division two years in a row for the SYSS Digital Arts Contest. .. And I mean yea there’s people out here whose done acting all their life.. So why should you choose me? Well.. I’m young but I’m determine . I work hard and by any means I get the job done and I get it done -not good, but GREAT. I promise that I’d give you a character that’ll give you nothing but success and positive feedback. And I never break promises. You need somebody that’ll give you no regrets and go through any script and OWN IT. I’m your girl. I live and breathe through my character.. I want you to give me the chance to prove to you that I have the ability to be your IT girl. Need someone different? That’s me. All I ask is for one shot. I actually want to start a movement for dark skinned girls like myself. I want to show them that its okay to be dark, and that it doesn’t matter what people say.. We can still chase our big dreams no matter how dark we are.. We can be on the big screen too.

    I don’t think I deserve to be a star.. I just feel like I’m suppose to be. want to be a star.. But not only live my dream but to help others.

    And here’s a twist. A black mermaid with red hair.. Yes Ariel historically white.. But maybe you guys could give Hollywood something different.

    I’m a 17 almost 18 year old girl. It would absolutely be a dream if I got to work with the other amazing actors and the crew. I remember when I was I younger and would watch The little mermaid then wanting to be a mermaid. Ariel was one of my favourite princesses when I was little girl and still is. I love acting and believe it is what I meant to do with my life. I’d I show you that if I’m lucky to be apart of this film. I have long curly luscious light brown hair (could dye it though), green eyes, a fair complexion and am 5’8 I currently weigh 156 pounds. I have some experience in theatre performance and love drama class. I’d love to have a part in this movie.
    .sincerely and many thanks,

    Hi, my name is Hannah, I’m 14, I have blue eyes and natural red (strawberry blonde) hair, that’s mostly wavy.

  32. Ivy Howden

    My name is Ivy Howden and I am 16 years old. I believe I am suitable for a role in this movie because I love to act. Ariel has been my favourite princess since forever because although she had many other sisters, she strove to be different. I have always felt that I am similar in that way for as all of my siblings are into high performance contact sports I have always taken to the stage. I enjoy acting and becoming another person, dipping into their lives and living it even for only a while. I love who I am but have always wanted to see what it was like to have someone else’s life. When I act, I can do that. I can pretend to be someone I’m not and break free of my comfort zone. I also do competitive dance so I am comfortable with audiences and being in front of people. I enjoy working with others and working off of others, meaning I take feedback well no matter the type. I am positive and encouraging and love being apart of a team. To me Ariel was a role model when I was young. She taught me to be different, enjoy life, and do the impossible. I am 5’6″, have long brown hair that comes to the middle of my back, I have grey/blue eyes and an abundance of freckles. I have fair skin and a natural blush. I weigh about 120-125 pounds and am slender. I do not expect to be Ariel, but do think I could play the role of one of her many sisters. I really hope that someone reads this and considers me because I would really enjoy being apart of making something incredible.

    Thanks,
    Ivy

    Ethnicity: White American
    Location: California, United States

    I grew up with a love for all things Disney and fell for the stories of love, adventure and mystery. I am intrigued with the little mermaid story and love the magical feeling mystery where we get lost in our sympathy for the little mermaid character and find myself at the edge of my seat lost in the fantastic music and beautiful story line.

    I would be great for the male role of the man Ariel falls in love with (Prince Eric) because I am the right age to hold a strong role as well as carry a boyish charm that would entice the character Ariel to really fall for me. I hold an athletic build in physical appearances and a strong hansom face.

I speak english perfectly ( cause in my country we speak slovenian). I like action and fantasy movie and I would love to be in one. My dream is to become an actress and this is my chance.

    Thanks,

  36. Eliza Feely

    I am a Children’s Book Author, Illustrator and Cartoonist and whilst taking a break from drawing began day dreaming about Sofia Coppola’s work and found this page.

    I am Australian, have been surfing virtually everyday for 20 years and consider the ocean my teacher and lounge room.

    The idea Sofia Coppola will see this note is preposterous but appealing to both her eye for detail and sense of humour I’d like to add, truthfully, I have great teeth.

  37. Anne Salkeld

    What I love about the little mermaid is how absolutely enchanting it is. The story is magical and totally just captures the audience! As an aspiring actress capturing audiences and telling stories is something I am passionate about. Being a part of this would be truly as incredible as the story itself.

  38. Anne Salkeld

    Being a part of this would be thrilling and incredible!

    Ethnicity: Korean
    Eye color: black-brown
    Hair color: brown (can be dyed)
    Location: New York, USA
    Skills: Professionally trained vocalist (Soprano I)

    Working in a film directed by Sofia Coppola alongside other “big names” in the business would be such an honor. I am well aware of the fact that asians are severely discredited and underrepresented in Hollywood and the film industry in general so I would like to be the person that changes that. Not only is my desire to act fueled by simply my love for the performing arts, but it is also incentivized by my desire to make a difference in the world. Nevertheless, I believe that if I am simply given a chance and the opportunity to audition for the leading actress of “The Little Mermaid” it will change Asians’ roles in film. Ideally, it would obviously be best if I was given the leading female role (my apologies if that sounded arrogant). Casting an Asian as the leading female of this live action film will definitely bring an interesting dynamic and draw attention to this potentially “world changing” film.

I have been singing, acting, and dancing my entire life and have recently been looking into more acting opportunities. I have done plays for my schools theater departments, but this would be so incredible. I am so interested in this. The musical, the roles, the whole story.

I saw this post and I believe its meant to be or just plain serendipity. Im 5’7 fair skin and i come with a big personality and honestly I sound just like her! Please contact me and I can prove it. I hope to hear from y’all soon!

    My name is Alexandra Marrufo I’m 20 years old and I’m from San Antonio, TX. I’m about 5’4 Hispanics slim athletic built. All I need is that one opportunity to give myself some exposure to be a voice actress, I’m not quite sure if I’m acting material, but I know this movie by heart if you would like me to recite it I’ll be happy to. No matter what part I get I know you will not be disappointed and I’m a fast learner to everything. I hope you can consider me and be my big break to the business. I love this movie to the bottom of my heart, sounds ridiculous but I truly do. It’s one of those movies that sparked my inspiration. To be a voice actress some day

    I have always loved the performing arts, and I would be thrilled to be a part of this production. I would like to consider myself a talented actress, having been in many plays. I’ve been in Seussical the Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Damn Yankees, Honk, Oliver, and Man of La Mancha, just to name a few. I understand that I am on the younger side, but I am mature for my age. Some of my hobbies are figure skating (I’ve been skating since I was five years old), writing, reading, fashion design, singing, and acting. I am a hard worker, who is up for a challenge. I am a straight “A” student and am doing schoolwork above my grade level (9th grade math, history, and science, and 11th grade English).

    I would love to be cast in The Little Mermaid because I think it would give me a chance to show my talents. I enjoy musicals, and I think this would be a great experience for me.

    Thank you!

  51. Emily

    Hi my name is Emily and I’m 15 years old. As a child who grew up with Disney, the Little Mermaid has always my been favorite Disney princess movie. The fact that she swam and sang all day long seemed like a dream com true to little me. And now I found out that you are re-making the Little Mermaid I couldn’t resist putting my name in. I’ve been singing and acting for about 7 years now. I’ve been in many productions from a local play group ad have a good amount of stage experience. I’ve played may different roles including a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz, choir in My Fair Lady, a bad guy in a re-make of Cheaper By the Dozen, the reporter from Annie, and I was just casted the part of older Nala from the Lion King. I have dark brown hair and deep brown eyes, which I know is the exact opposite from Ariel but I would do just abut anything to make my dream a reality. I understand that you probably have a lot of really talented artists and actors and actresses that are very qualified to play the role. I just hope you deeply consider me for any role. Other than Ariel, I would also be very comfortable playing Ursula on land, Miranda, I believe her name was, being that I have some experience playing the bad guy. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you very soon.

    Okay, listen, this would be an AMAZING opportunity for me to live my dream. For a while now all I’ve wanted to do is act, and sing, i also play a little piano. I know that one of these days that i’ll get a part in a role, but i’m hoping it could be this one. I currently attend high school, i’m a freshman.

    More basics, i’m not pale, but not tan. I have freckles. Not a lot but not a little. look, this is the deal, you want an actor or actress, and that is what i’m trying to get here, a role in this movie. no one in my family thinks that i can do it, but i believe that i can. all my life, I’ve been singing, i like making movies and being in them, and what i want is a chance to do that.

    please understand, this is what i want, it’s my second favorite thing to do, next to singing, which I’ve already mentioned a few times. but consider it. financially, maybe not. but if talent is what your looking for, look my way because you see a future bright and shining star.

    thank you,

    A bit about myself:
    Well, I love to Act, Sing, and Dance. Besides the arts, you could find me playing with my Basketball or Soccer Team. I do ballet and used to do tap. I haven’t had the opportunity to be on a television show before but, I have been in many theatre productions. I’ve been acting for a while now, both at school, and in the community. I feel that this is a great opportunity, and i’d love to audition for it because well first of all it’s THE LITTLE MERMAID. (One of the best classics. Both in and out of this world; if that makes any sense. haha.) Also because as far as I know about this Movie, the plot seems really entertaining for all ages. Hope to get a response!
    Thanks again!

    Ever since I was little I’ve had one dream. To be ariel. When people would ask me when I was little what I wanted to be when I grew up I said the little mermaid. I often get approached by kids thinking I’m ariel. I have little acting training though I plan on getting a coach. I feel like I was meant to play a part in this film and I would hate myself if I never even got a shot.

    Being not full white, as what most shows are looking for, I haven’t been in much publicized productions outside my school and local theater. I live in the Oakland hills in California, USA. I’m half white and half filipino, 14 years old, 5ft2in, 115lbs, brown hair (but willing to dye) and light brown eyes. I know I don’t stand out compared to everyone else who has green or blue eyes or red hair or a blonde, but I sure am rememberable. I can guarantee that. Or your money back. (Sorry I felt like that would fit, jk) I love to laugh as well as others. I really enjoy making people smile, especially people outside my friend group. That sounds weird let me clarify: I would run up to a person on the street that seems sad and start singing (horribly) and dance just so I could give them a story they can tell their friends and laugh at me. And I don’t mind if people laugh at me, it just shows that I’m an really entertaining person. I played club volleyball for 3 years and I do track. Oh and I love the color purple, a lot. But not as much as I love to dance and anything else that has to do with moving. Thanks for reading America. And have a great day. Hope you’ll consider me to be apart of this, I’ve grown up wanting to be a princess, it’s been a dream of mine, since the original came out. It would be amazing if I could be apart of this.
    Love Lian
    Any questions about my greatness? jk but if you do have questions don’t hesitate to email me at liandcall@gmail.com.

    Physical descriptions:
    Height: 5’0″
    Weight: 85 lbs
    Hair: brown – natural redy blonde highlights
    Eyes: brown
    Ethnicity: Mixed Filipino / Scandinavian

    Being a performer will be my career for that I am certain. As vocalists I know we are the only ones with words and lyrics. We can share a story to the world so much more profoundly if we do it correctly.
    I believe that I will be a very good fit for the role of the “Little Mermaid” because I feel that I share the trait of curiosity and creativity of Ariel.

    I am a Soprano with a adequate range of G3 – B flat 5 (sometimes C6)

    Thank you for the opportunity,

    Hello, I am almost 15 years old and I am 5’4. My hair is shoulder-length and chestnut brown and my eyes are hazel. I have not had any formal acting experience, though I read a lot and am able to easily embody written characters. I do not musically preform, but I can match the notes and harmonize by ear. I grew up listening to this kind of music. I understand that I lack the qualifications, but I do hope I am considered. Thank you for your time.

  71. Alicia S

    This would be a good movie to watch especially for it’s under the sea scenes,
    and I would be good for this role because I’m a great singer and like to act and also Ariel is one of my favorite princesses of Disney and I know the songs she sings in the movie, either way if it’s like the Disney movie or not it’ll be great.

    I’m 21 years
    fair skin
    willing to change hair color for this role

  72. Kiki Townley

    Hello.
    The little mermaid has been apart of my life since I was 3 and first watched it. My life, my room and my spirit is based around mermaids – and not in a way you’d originally think. I love the concept, the myth and the idea of mermaids and their history. It’s always fascinated me. I find it ironic how I feel the freedom, passion, tranquility and adventure within water, and have always desired the life of a mermaid, and Ariel would want to be one with the land. I guess we always want what we can’t have? however this, I need. I don’t aim to ‘suffice” for a project, I always strive for above and beyond, and challenging all aspects of my mind to convince itself it is the character i’m given. As well as using Stanislavsky’s emotional recall.
    The thought of getting this audition makes it difficult for me to type, my heart races, my mind feels conflicted with enthusiasm and anxiety; due to the underlying thought of I might miss out on this. I will do anything and everything to work with the prestigious crew of universal pictures and the one and only, Sofia Coppola !!! Every favorite film has been from the production company of Universal Pictures, and to work with them, and meet them, as well as do the only movie I’ve wished would maybe happen one day – yes you’d fulfill millions of dreams by selecting them for this role, but you’d fulfill my heart, desires, aspirations, and my personal emotions towards mermaids and my infatuation with them.

    I am currently in university. I love acting. I watched basically every single disney movie out there. One of my favourites was the Little Mermaid. I have always loved singing and I’ve done a bit of acting through high school. Currently i’m taking an acting course in university and i’m definently enjoying it.

  74. Emilia

    I remember when I was a little girl and my parents had bought me the album from the “The Little Mermaid” and I would play “Part of your world” on repeat until they got crazy while I pretended to be Ariel and when I no longer was allowed to play the CD, I rushed up to the TV and watched the movie instead. Growing up my biggest dream was becoming a mermaid and even now at 21 I am still incredibly fascinated by them and often dream of how it would be to be able to live under the surface! I also remember how I always tried, and in the end learned, how to swim like a mermaid in the water as me and one of my friends pretended we were mermaids living in the ocean.

    Ariel was my favourite princesses since she was the one I could really connect to. Her carving for knowledge, the longing to discover and her bubbly personality. Originating from the southern parts of Sweden I am the epitome of a Scandinavian, with a pale complexion, blonde hair, blue eyes and I am standing 5’5 tall, with an hourglass build and with a perfectly normal weight. Growing up I also early on got introduced to the original story written by HC Anderson and to this day I still cry when I read how the end at which the Little Mermaid chooses to be turned into sea foam instead of running her princes happiness.

    My earlier experience with acting is slim. I have only acted in a few school plays, still with just the chance I truly believe I could make this character come to life, for Ariel has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. In any other case, any chance to be simply a part of what I think is going to be a wonderful production would be the greatest honour I can imagine and truly a childhood dream come true.

  75. Lena

    The possibilites are endless. My son, Sean is cute and talented, what an awesome combination. What mother wouldn’t say that about her own kid. He is curious about the process of auditioning and seeing how it all works, from start to finish. He is 10 and excited about learning what goes on.

    Thank you for the endless possibilities.
