Casting Narrator / Spoken Word Poet in Orlando for paid gig

Noire Productions is casting a Narrator and Spoken Word Poet for a large-scale stage show based in Orlando, Florida. This role sits at the center of a live performance production, delivering original spoken word material and scripted narration alongside a live orchestra, singers, and dancers in front of a live audience. It is a strong fit for a stage-seasoned performer who moves comfortably between structured narration and the looser, more personal register of spoken word poetry.

About the Role

The Narrator and Spoken Word Poet functions as a through-line for the show, giving the production its voice and emotional connective tissue. The January performance is a full-scale theatrical event, meaning rehearsals and performance calls will run on a live stage production schedule. A typical day involves working with the creative team to integrate narration cues into the broader orchestral and choreographic flow of the show.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver scripted narration with precise timing to complement live orchestra transitions and performer cues.
• Perform original spoken word poetry as a featured element within the live stage show’s structure.
• Maintain consistent vocal presence and audience connection across full run-throughs and final performances.
• Collaborate with the production director to shape narration pacing and tone to match the show’s arc.
• Attend rehearsals as scheduled and adapt delivery based on creative notes from the Noire Productions team.
• Hold material reliably for live performance, with no teleprompter or off-book safety net during the show.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience performing spoken word or narration in a live performance setting, theatrical or otherwise.
• A reel or performance samples that show range across both poetic and narrative styles.
• Comfort with large-venue stage presence, including projection and crowd engagement without amplification dependency.
• A resume that reflects credits in theater, live events, or staged productions of comparable scale.
• Ability to deliver original written material as well as directed scripted narration.

Why This Role

Noire Productions is mounting a production that brings together a live orchestra, dancers, and singers, which means the Narrator and Spoken Word Poet carries real creative weight rather than serving as a transitional device. This is a paid opportunity with a submission deadline of September 30, 2026, and performances scheduled for January in Orlando and Central Florida. For a performer building stage production credits, being the narrative anchor of a show at this scale is a meaningful addition to the resume.
