The Togo Party

Vancouver Actors Guide is looking for a volunteer actor to join The Togo Party, based in Vancouver, BC. This role sits within the acting community’s resource network, where participants contribute to newsletter-featured productions and community-driven screen projects. It suits someone early in their on-screen career who is building credits and looking for real set experience within Vancouver’s active production scene.

About the Role

The Togo Party is a volunteer acting project connected to Vancouver Actors Guide, the long-running free resource serving Vancouver’s acting community. Participants work on screen productions that feed into the broader network’s programming, gaining practical experience in front of the camera on scripted material. A typical day involves showing up prepared with your materials, taking direction, and contributing to a collaborative on-set environment built around community rather than pay.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform scripted roles as assigned, taking and applying direction from the production team across takes.
• Arrive on set with your headshot, resume, and demo reel ready for review by the production team.
• Represent your character consistently across coverage setups, maintaining continuity through single-camera production workflow.
• Participate in any required rehearsals or table reads ahead of principal photography days.
• Engage professionally with other cast members and crew throughout the production schedule.
• Support the community-focused mission of Vancouver Actors Guide by contributing your performance in good faith as a volunteer.

What You Bring

• A current headshot and acting resume formatted to industry standard.
• A demo reel is an asset, though not required to apply.
• Some prior on-set or on-camera experience, whether through student film production, independent projects, or workshop work.
• Comfort working in a volunteer production context where the focus is on craft and community credit-building.
• Ability to commit to the production schedule once cast.

Why This Role

Vancouver Actors Guide has operated as a free community resource for Vancouver actors for years, with genuine reach into the local industry through its weekly newsletter and network. This is an unpaid, volunteer position, suited to actors building their reel and looking for legitimate community production credits. For performers newer to episodic television or feature film production pipelines, this kind of volunteer screen work offers a low-barrier entry point into a real set environment.
