Merman tails??

Question

I'm trying out for a short merman movie thing, and they told me to find a merman tail like at weeki Wachee and I don't know where to look. All I find is mermaid not merman.

Answer 1

No real offense based on gender, but I suspect they would be the same/similar. What I'm more SUSPECT about is their requiring YOU TO FIND ONE. Define Short Movie, and think about the context of the company, unless this happens to be school related or some You Tube parody?

  Obviously a search of theatrical costume shops is where I'd begin, but then I'd be supplying actors, not expecting them to have their own costuming. I'll assume this company has no wardrobe dept. either. Beyond the fact that you omit detail about any action, and assuming you won't lay around like "Jabba The Hut" it might be that Mermen??? Had appendages/LEGS plus the tail. I've never encountered one, so I have no proof.

S.W.

Just my 2 "scents"

  I think I'd question the company, then perhaps rethink auditioning.
