Casting Call for hosts of colour!

MAGNETIC PRODUCTIONS

(formerly Edelman Productions/Minneapolis)

is searching for a Host

for a New

Kitchen Makeover Show

on a National Cable Network

Magnetic Productions is creating a new kitchen makeover series for a national cable network.

This kitchen show will feature new products & creative ideas that can transform a kitchen without spending a lot of money. Many of the projects will be quick fix-ups, others will be total makeovers. No matter how extensive the project, the focus will be on getting the most bang for the buck.

Searching for Host: Union or Non-Union

We are casting for a high energy host. Male or female. Shooting will be in the Minneapolis area. The series will feature homeowners doing the work, so host will be a combination coach & teacher. We’re looking for a host who is outgoing & confident, with a great sense of humor and real personality.

We need some or all of the following attributes:

  • Diversity will be a key factor!
  • Knowledge of design – kitchen design in particular.
  • Excellent handyperson or pro remodeling skills.
  • Experience on camera – or at least comfortable on camera.

About Magnetic Productions

Formerly Edelman Productions/Mpls, the staff of Magnetic Productions has produced numerous lifestyle series for major cable networks.

TO SUBMIT: (Deadline Wed. 11/11):

* Send headshots, resumes, demo, by 11/11 to:

Magnetic Productions

Casting Director

800 Washington Ave N, Ste 506

Mpls, MN 55401

* Email us by 11/11 at kitchencasting@magneticproductions.com

Subject Line: TV Host

Include photos, resume & video links!

VIDEO LINKS:

We prefer NOT to see actor reels! We need to "see" the person as our Host! Sending a link (YouTube video, etc) of any hosting, remodeling (or mock remodeling project) is best! If you shoot a demo, include an interview about your design/remodeling experience, and a standup to camera about the work you’re doing, preferably in a kitchen.

Imagine that you’re going to remodel the kitchen you’re standing in. Tell us what’s wrong with the kitchen now and give us a few cool ideas on how you’re going to improve it—with the help of the homeowners.

We’re looking for fun energy and wit. Don’t take yourself too seriously, have fun with it. Be a little ‘snarky’—be opinionated! If you’ve done remodeling before, make sure that comes across.

Interview. Make sure this is medium closeup. Get closer to camera and make sure you get good audio. Look just off camera and answer these questions. Again, we’re looking for great energy, in your face, almost over the top. Have fun with it!!

Q: Tell us about your handyman/remodeling experience. Give us one specific project you worked on.

Q: Tell a funny very short story about a mishap that happened when you were trying to fix something.

Q: Give us a bit on your personal and professional background.

Thank You!
