Seeking Charismatic and Confident COUPLES for a non-union BuzzFeed ‘Couples Rap Battle’ video in Toronto!
This unscripted BuzzFeed video aims to showcase couples engaging in close quarters for a freestyle Rap Battle. We are looking for witty and fun couples, ages 28 – 42, that are diverse and inclusive in race, gender and sexual orientation. Previous rap experience is not required; they just need to have a basic sense of rhythm. They will be freestyle rapping about each other (obviously not expecting Tupac quality). Looking for a warm on-screen dynamic interaction between 2 people, they must feel very comfortable improvising rhythms and lyrics on the spot and be a little silly or sassy.
If you know of anyone like this, please pass this on!
*Pays $250 per person if selected (1 day – 2 to 3 hours shoot). No audition or previous acting experience is required. We will book directly through self-tapes.

4) Please improvise a rap together for 10-15 seconds about any of the following topics:
