Great End Summer Opportunity in NYC

It's been awhile since I've reported with a good opportunity, but here's one I had to post.

PS122 is a great theater in the east village and if you fit this bill you better get your booty over there! I hope you are having a wonderful summer and are enjoying these sunny days while they last.

Dominic Huber's Hotel Savoy Casting Call for non-actors:
Looking for 5 individuals to guide patrons through 1014 5th Avenue, a six-floor mansion located directly across from the Metropolitan Museum. This project is an exploration of space and memory; it is a slice of the diversity of New York; it is a series of real conversations in a frame of experience. We are searching for individuals who consider themselves near or exactly how the characters are described. Some theatrical experience and an appreciation of the arts is a plus, but we are not seeking professional actors.

The 'characters' are as follows:
The Bartender Female. Age 40s-60s.
Elevator Operator Male. Age 40-60s.
The Girl Female. Age 15-19.
The Clerk Male. Age 25-45.
The Haircutter Male. Age 30-50.

We are conducting a project on behalf of a major marketer of over the counter medications. For this project we will be asking participants to use our client's product (that is currently on the market) for 21 days and to video record your impressions of the product (every day for about a minute).

You can use any means available to you for the video recording, including but not limited to: ooVoo, ichat, skype, tokbox, a flipcam, your webcam and any other video recording software you might have. You just need to make sure that you can record it, save it as a file and send it to rgeltman@videochatnetwork.net, as an email attachment.

At the end of the 21 day period, we will pay each respondent $100 for having completed this project.

If you qualify and are interested in helping VCN out, please send us a brief video message ASAP, stating your age, the symptoms that you experience and the current products you use.

Thank you!
