Drive Time
Project Details
We’re looking for grounded comedy actors with strong improv instincts. Performances should tap into the emotional truth of the situation while keeping it light. The spots are natural and character-driven, but we want to see each actor’s own comedic instincts come through in the tape. Please give us two takes of the sides: one grounded and understated, and one with a little more energy and personality.
