A Toronto casting call offered a bunch of Google Pixel stans a chance to appear in an ad campaign last month, and it sounds like easy money.

Groundglass Casting is looking to hire outgoing Pixel users to be interviewed on camera about their experience with the phone and maybe talk a little trash about the competition.

Oh, and no acting experience is required, folks, all you need to do is love your Google pixel phone and have a deep fear of being recorded. Basically, if you can look comfortable, you're qualified.

If you book the gig, you receive $100 for a mandatory COVID-19 test, $75 for a wardrobe appointment, and $650 for one day of filming.

If the campaign decides to use your footage in the final commercial, you receive an additional $4,500 or more in the buyout, which is not a bad haul for a day's work.

Not from the area? No worries. The call states that anyone required to travel more than 1.5 hours for the shoot will have all their travel fees and accommodations covered.

You will also receive $350 per travel day and $100 per diem.

The ad's director will conduct online interviews with shortlisted candidates on July 14, 2022. However, the casting agency told Narcity they're no longer accepting applications.*

If you are chosen to appear in the project, you'll need to be able to film between August 3 and 4th. However, it's worth noting that you'll only be required for one day.

Google Pixel
