Summary

Hi there,

We have seen some great options who are still being considered but we are spreading the net wider and would like to see some more people for the mum and child before the final call is made.

Also the mum role can now be a mum or dad and the child is still a boy or girl.

We have a slight change of course in the approach to this project - the director is keen to open this up now and allow anyone interested to film a tape over the weekend which would need to be in by 4pm Monday at the latest.

If you/your client would like to tape for this campaign, check out the below.

Please note fee and date info - there has been a change to the fees.

What to Film
See here for all the scene info.

Where to upload your tape
Please upload your clip by clicking "Apply" under the correct role and following the steps. We can only accept tapes this way. (You don't need to create an account to upload).

If you need any help email auditions@alicoffeycasting.ie putting DIY Help in the subject.

Please do flag if you are running in any current ads or have ever been in a campaign relating to DIY on your tape. You must be based in Ireland to be eligible.

Thanks a mill,
Katy

ROLES

Child - Still casting for this role

Playing age: 4 - 7 years old

We're looking for a v special child for this one. Our age range is 4-7.

Could be a boy or girl, the main thing is they have the right personality to carry the piece. They’ll be at this magical age, with just the right amount of naivety that we totally believe their relationship with their ‘new best friend’, bringing us into their reality without really having to act.

We're looking for kids with great imaginations who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty when they're playing outside. We'd love to see some kids who have some experience and are strong natural actors - we're also open to kids who don't have acting experience yet but have great imaginations and super personalities.

They can be based anywhere in Ireland. Please let us know which county his/her accent is from when applying. Should have an Irish accent.

Audition Instructions:

Tell us a little about yourself and why you’d be suited for this role.

Important tip: Turn the phone sideways and wipe the lens! Be sure to read our auditioncam® tips for success.

NOW MUM OR DAD - Still Casting for this role

Playing age: 30 - 43 years old

Early 30s to early 40s with a great imagination. A real individual, maybe  a bit characterful/eccentric and she's a great  parent.

Should be a good story teller.

Very natural and subtle performer.

Irish accent

Mr Murphy - No further suggs needed

Playing age: 55 - 64 years old

The neighbour Mr. Murphy is friendly and affable, in his mid 50s to early 60s. He
won’t have any lines beyond a hello but he should be able to convey a lot with a little, as his look and response to the kid will be moment of warmth and humour in the ad.
