It’s a generous thing to create a casting breakdown when asking an entertainer to do a job. A breakdown lists the details of the gig as thoroughly as possible so that a potential hire can imagine the entire job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HERE’s an example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

–<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

to submit for this job, send an email to scot@scotnery.com<\/a>. please send a photo and a few line resume (just like three to five career highlights).  Please also, let me know what your break schedule would be for a gentle two hour gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLOSE UP MAGICIAN – Walking around the event and doing tricks for small groups of guests. Looking a little circus-y is a bonus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWO STILT WALKERS – Looking circus-y having fun interacting with the guests<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

–<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It takes some time upfront<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It takes some time to think about all the details, but it gives performers an easy opportunity to say yes. It also let’s the performers know that we’re not trying to trick them or rip them off or something — that we truly care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
