Hello, I am a Research Associate with the Yale School of Medicine Rheumatology Dept. We are conducting a study in which we need to video tape 6 people (3 women and 3 men of varied ethnic backgrounds) portraying a doctor while reading 6 one and half page scripts.
These scripts are very short in length, maybe 2 min a piece if that. So, to shoot all 6 scripts should take no more than a 1/2 hr or so. I am trying to find people who are comfortable in front of the camera and can disseminate the information convincingly. Compensation will be provided. These videos will be shown to Rheumatology patients who are participating in our study. The individuals will be compensated for their time and the videos they appear on will be destroyed after the project is completed. If you can offer any suggestions or know of anyone who may be interested and a good fit for this I would be so appreciative. Thank you so much for your time.

Standardized Patients ??
I would get in touch with the casting agencies in the area and leave a description. |

I'll 2nd that. Also... unless there are politics involved, maybe you can get in touch with the Yale School of Drama and the Yale Repertory Theatre. |

You may want to look in your own back yard at the Yale School of Drama.
