Edinburgh Actor Witch Guide Edinburgh, Scotland
Job description
We are looking for a local talented actor to join our current Witches and History walking tour coven in the glorious city of Edinburgh. We need someone with good afternoon availability - the tour runs from 3pm onwards. There will be a set weekly day(s) with additional cover days.
- The first round of auditions will be self-tapes
- The second, an online meeting
- Rehearsals will be plotted over a 3 week period
This is a fully scripted piece and rehearsals will start w/c 29th May. Terms and hours are flexible. The tour takes place in and around Edinburgh's old town and focuses on tales of Scottish witches across the ages, with a little bit of Edinburgh history thrown in along the way too.
This is a one-person show; all eyes on you. We’re looking for strong actors who are super confident with a lovely high engaging energy - someone who will embody the character of our fun, quirky, knowledgeable witch. The role is written as a friendly whimsical witch, not in any way a "wicked" one.
We're looking for:
- Very strong outside projection (with the help of a radio mic when necessary)
- Engaging storytelling abilities
- A confident people manager
- Someone comfortable working alone - and outside, whatever the weather!
A Scottish accent would be ideal, but others will be considered.
