Medical training video shoots in Peekskill on Dec 9th

An opportunity here to audition for a industrial type of training video for medical professionals that will film in Peekskill on December 9th 2025. IT IS A VERY FAST AUDITION PROCESS.

It pays $250 and will be a four hour shoot. They will have the lines all set up on a teleprompter.

The video is going to be used to train medical professionals how to help in situations when patients need to be redirected for safety reasons and out of a concern for their symptoms.  There are many scenarios with different people of all types. THIS is just one of them for the training that we are focusing on right now.

Casting: Heidi Eklund 

Seeking an actor for the following role:
Shanice (the patient) – 38-52-year-old Black or Latina woman; smoker; full figure; works multiple jobs; single mother under a lot of stress; experiencing atypical cardiac symptoms but wants to leave the ER to take care of her children and get back to her daily life.  The concern that falls upon the nurse caring for this patient is that Shanice's symptoms are that of a heart attack and that she must stay to be sure all tests are taken to rule out something that could be life threatening, even though she "feels" Ok. 
Shanice should be real, intense, but not overdramatic, intent on leaving and authentic. ***There is NO smoking on camera needed for this shoot, the character is a smoker... but the actor doesn't need to be.

- Cold readings accepted, memorization not necessary, if you can set up your audition where you are grabbing the lines from a screen or a cue card and delivering them as naturally as possible that would be ideal

tone for the performance
PERFORM THE LINES LIKE YOU ARE REALLY IN THIS SITUATION... you want to leave... your children need you and you have SO much to do at work... you are feeling fine now and everything seems to be taking a really really long time.  You are also worried about your bills and how much being in the hospital might cost you... you want to go.  You don't need to be overly dramatic... just authentic.
