Actresses needed to help train EMS professionals at national Conference

Hello!

I am looking for 2-3 actresses 20-40 years of age who would be willing to help train EMS professionals (EMT's, Paramedics, Firefighters) at the EMS World Conference on October 20th in Indianoplis. 

How to audition: for those who are interested:

1) please send me a head shot and full length photo. if you would like to send a photo "in character" as the 9 months pregnant woman you are welcome to do so but it is not required. 

2) i will send you the various scenario prompts along with sides if you would like them or you are free to totally adlib the scenario as long as you stay within its confines.

3) you will then do a minimum 5 minute self tape portraying the entirety of the scenario, i.e. your character in labor and delivering. I am happy to send you several self tapes of previous actresses i have used, if that would also help you perpare for the role. 

What i am looking for in the self tape: is simple realism, putting yourself in the place of your character and showcasing the dramatic and brutal emotional and physical realities of childbirth. you can scream, cry, curse etc as it pertains to your character or the scenario. However, I would request that only you appear in the self tape and no other actors please.

Last but not least, I am an open book. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have. I look forward to hearing back from you!

About OB for EMS Obstetrics for EMS was first Imagined back in 2015 during an eye-opening independent study course at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. During this course, I set out to learn about all of the obstetrical issues I could legitimately be called for yet never got trained on in Paramedic school. Shockingly, there was quite a long list of life-threatening issues that were either never covered or quickly glossed over. Additionally, to educate myself properly on these issues, I had to travel all over my home state of Texas and to Las Vegas, Nevada. There was no centralized Obstetrics course that can realistically and comprehensively train EMS. Until Now This course was created after years of study in prehospital birth, Training as a Doula, Childbirth Educator and as a Midwifery Student. This of course was undertaken while working full time as a Paramedic. Being able to have feet in both different yet similar worlds has allowed me to put together a course based on Midwifery care principles yet firmly grounded in EMS. Simply put, Obstetrics for EMS is the course I wish I would have had during school.
