The site includes all the info, audition scripts and even include Taping Tips to make your audition as good as possible. Deadline For Submissions Wednesday, July 01, 2009.

Casting for the Roles of:

Barbara Winslow – 10 -12,
Barbara is an endearing social butterfly. If she isn’t on the phone getting the latest gossip from her friends, then she is discretely texting her take on things to them. The world as she knows it crumbles when her parents Phil and Debbie announce that they are relocating to the O.C. from her home base in Kansas. Even at her worst, Barbara is never rude or unlikeable, she simply becomes an emotionally overwhelmed tween. This seems to pass when she befriends a popular boy, Bodie, but she gets so wrapped up in their new relationship that she ends up distancing herself from her family and Marmaduke. Barbara is truly saddened by her neglectful actions when she learns that Marmaduke has run away.

THIS ROLE WILL REQUIRE OPTIONS.

Brian Winslow – 8 - 10,
Brian is a smart, lovable klutz. He’s seen most times in front of a video game happily playing vicariously through the characters on the screen. Brian is truly intelligent but is accident prone causing him to be a bit reluctant to try new things. When he learns of the move to the O.C., he takes the high road and simply goes along for the ride. Out of guilt, his father Phil is enticed to buy him gifts that involve physical risks. Brian shows courage, and even though most of the activities result in complete catastrophe, he dusts himself off and tries again. Like his sister, he is truly saddened when Marmaduke runs away. Brian is forced to realize the consequences of his neglect of Marmaduke, who is truly a part of the family.

THIS ROLE WILL REQUIRE OPTIONS.

Fox is an equal opportunity employer
