How to be in an Oklahoma Tourism commercial

9:30 AM EDT on March 18, 2014

Do you wanna be famous? If so, the Oklahoma Tourism Department has a great way to get you started down the path to stardom.

From KOCO.com:

A casting office is looking for dozens of Oklahomans to appear in the next round of commercials promoting Oklahoma tourism.

Freihofer Casting will hold auditions in Norman and Tulsa, but will also invite people from across the state to send in their own video auditions for consideration.

Each person selected to appear in the commercial will be paid and is asked to appear in one location on one day for a few hours. Adults 18 years old and over will be paid $200, while children under 18 will receive $100.

Couples, families and people of all ages are needed for a few hours to appear in the spots that will air nationwide.

Two-hundred bucks for one day of pretending like Oklahoma has a lot of things to do? Not bad!

The 2013 tourism video is posted above. I thought it would be fun to give you some pointers on how to land the role of "Oklahoman" for a commercial that will not at all represent what it's like to visit Oklahoma.
