Seeking talent for Psychwire project - Washington DC area - NU - between July 6–11, 2026
Greetings everyone! NEW PROJECT JUST IN! SELF TAPES ARE REQUIRED FOR CONSIDERATION!
Here is what we know/need:
Location - Washington DC area
Dates - between July 6–11, 2026
Rate - $1000 per talent (less our fees) includes session and usage.
Usage - All footage will be used exclusively within professional training programs hosted on the Psychwire platform. The content sits behind a paid subscription paywall and is accessible only to verified mental health professionals for educational purposes. In perpetuity buyout
Context/Talent: This training program focuses on helping clinicians adapt evidence-based treatment approaches to better meet the needs of neurodivergent clients. As such, we are specifically seeking actors who are autistic and/or have ADHD and who feel that their lived experience may help inform authentic portrayals of clients in educational clinical demonstrations.
Selected talent will be filmed working alongside an expert psychologist in a supportive and inclusive environment. These demonstrations are designed to teach clinicians practical skills and will involve simulated therapy conversations rather than dramatic or emotionally intensive acting scenarios. Talent will not be asked to disclose personal medical information, though those selected will draw on relevant aspects of their lived experience to inform their performance.
Client note: We are always very grateful and respectful if talent do choose to use their own real experiences to base their auditions or performances off, but there is no requirement for them to do so and we would never want them to feel that they need to reveal any more about themselves than whatever they are 100% comfortable with. Names and specific stories will always be changed if that eases any concerns, and any real stories or events can be woven in with improvised or altered details. Really the talent can share as much or as little about themselves as they want, and if at any point they felt they had said something they regretted or shouldn’t have mentioned we will remove it in editing with no questions asked.
Client is open to talent, any ethnicity, males or females, ages 18 and up.
Submission process - If you meet the breakdown criteria and are interested in being considered, please email [email protected] requesting the self tape instructions. Self tapes are due by 9 am on Friday, June 12th.
