Project: Automotive

Vancouver Actors Guide is seeking a on-camera host for Project: Automotive, a pilot episode shooting in Vancouver, BC. This hosting role sits squarely in front-of-camera performance for episodic television production, with the actor serving as the audience-facing presenter who opens the episode and introduces both the company and its featured guest. It suits performers who are comfortable with direct-to-camera delivery and can carry a warm, natural presence without a full script to lean on.

About the Role

Project: Automotive is a pilot episode produced for TOGO Motors, a Vancouver-based automotive business, and the production follows a behind-the-scenes documentary format centered on the company and its owner. Your on-screen time runs between 30 seconds and one minute, functioning as the episode’s opening host segment, which is the first impression the audience gets of the entire series. The shoot is non-union and scheduled for a single morning, with your portion of the day expected to wrap within 45 minutes to one hour of a two-hour hold.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a direct-to-camera hosting introduction that opens the pilot episode and sets the tone for the documentary-style production.
• Present a scripted intro segment naturally, adapting the provided language into your own words rather than performing a word-perfect read.
• Introduce the featured subject of the episode, the owner of TOGO Motors, as part of your on-camera role.
• Self-tape an audition of no more than 60 seconds as part of the submission process, demonstrating your natural delivery on camera.
• Arrive on location in Vancouver on December 5, 2026 for a morning shoot, prepared for hair, makeup, and transportation independently arranged.

What You Bring

• Prior on-camera hosting, presenting, or episodic television performance experience is an asset.
• Comfort working without a full teleprompter or word-for-word script in a documentary or unscripted television format.
• A natural, warm delivery style that reads well in a single-camera, direct-to-camera setup.
• Non-union status, as this is a paid non-union production.
• The ability to self-produce a clean, watchable self-tape submission along with a current headshot and resume or reel.

Why This Role

This is a paid, non-union hosting credit on a pilot episode, with compensation ranging from $75 to $150 CAD depending on experience and production time. For performers building credits in unscripted television production or on-camera hosting, a pilot shoot is a tangible addition to a reel. Shortlisted performers will be notified by November 26, 2025.
