What are the responsibilities and job description for the The Telsey Office Miranda Casting Fellowship position at The Telsey Office?
DESCRIPTION
The Telsey Office, a casting office for theater, film, television, and commercials, in partnership with Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Miranda Family Fund, is now accepting applications for the third cohort of The Telsey Office Miranda Family Casting Fellowship.
The fellowship, designed in 2021, is a two-year, full-time, salaried position, financially supported by both The Telsey Office and the Miranda Family Fund. The fellowship was created in an effort to provide professional development and training opportunities for emerging artists from historically underrepresented communities and/or those who lack access to traditional entry points to building a career in casting. Over the course of two years, the fellows will take a deep dive into learning the craft of casting across musicals, plays, television, film, and commercials, while working intensively with casting directors, associates, and assistants.
In addition to the training The Telsey Office will provide, the casting fellows will join the larger network of Miranda Family Fellows to receive ongoing professional development, peer networking, mentorship, and coaching with industry leaders. This training will allow the fellows to identify and explore their specific areas of interest within casting while receiving targeted, practical career preparation. Fellows will be expected to participate in quarterly workshops alongside other Miranda Family Fellows in their first year, followed by monthly 1-1 coaching sessions in their second year.
The fellows will be fully immersed on projects, and experiences will include interaction with creative teams, talent agencies, inclusion in project correspondence, creating audition schedules, preparing audition materials, and being a participant in the casting room. The fellows will be guided by inter-departmental mentorship through the program and beyond.
We are looking for a team player with an interest in casting who aligns with our core values of collaboration, artistry, heart, accountability, and advocacy. No formal experience is required.
Applications are being accepted through Friday, September 4 at 12pm EST.
