Breakdown

Seeking:

Actors with extremely strong musical abilities (singing guitarists). Acoustic guitar virtuoso for role of BEN in solo piece: THE LION.

The character of Ben is honest, charming and straight forward. Ben is able to communicate the events of the story like a friend would tell another friend in a kitchen; not overly performative, but clear in terms of intent (without overemphasizing) and character (without doing voices). The performance is like good hair: it should look perfect, and also like you’re not trying.
