Models needed
Models are needed for a "popular art based competition television show," says the casting call. The filming is set for the third week of April, and it's a 10- to 12-hour commitment.
You must be 21 years or older, and although it's not a fully nude shoot, the casting call did warn that "minimal coverage" should be expected as you'd be getting "body painted" by the contestants.
The pay for this gig is a hefty $315 per day.
Non-speaking product video
You can get paid $20 per hour for being in this short product video in late May without even needing to speak.
They are looking for a female with blonde or light brown hair who is willing to become a redhead. The product you'd be demonstrating in the video is a red henna hair dye, the casting call says.
You don't need any acting or modelling experience for this role.
Improv acting
This casting call says that filming is taking place between April 6 and 8, but maybe if you apply ASAP you could still score a spot for tomorrow's shoot.
They're looking for two women and one man, around 30-45 years old.
You'd get paid $50 to play the role of a client in a therapy session for a training video, which is pretty interesting.
Marketing shoot
This casting call is ready to pay $30 an hour per person for a family to star in a real estate shoot. If you are a family of three with a kid aged 10-12 years old, it could be a fit.
The filming location is in North Vancouver, and it takes place sometime during the week of April 11-15.
Product video
This is another non-speaking part in a product video. They are looking for a young mother with two young children — a boy between 3 and 5 years old and a girl between 7 and 18 months old.
The casting call said that it's a video to demonstrate the use of "baby swim floats and swimming aids for toddlers."
Location and filming dates are not specified, but the pay is $60 an hour.
Model for a glasses company
For a half-day shoot, this job will pay you $150.
The tentative date for the shoot is April 16, and they are looking for females aged 18 to 40 years old.
If you can rock a pair of glasses — definitely apply.
