Looking for a Dothraki crone

As part of the news flurry yesterday, we learnt that HBO is casting for “head priestess of the Dothraki” through this tweet. The fan comunity figured that this means HBO is looking to fill a role they need for a certain ritual scene in Vaes Dothrak. Thanks to our source, we can now present you with the full casting call, slightly edited for spoilers:

Head Priestess of the Dosh Kahleen (Female)
Description:Aged over 50 and must be mixed race or else with Mediterranean skintone or a little darker.
She is an old crone who is wrinkled and wizened. She should be able to sing.
She is the High Priestess of the savage Dothraki religion. She drives a pivotal scene in Episode 6. She conducts a primitive religious rite – singing her words in a high keening voice. Her chanting leads her into an ecstatic trance where she prophesises that *** will be *** who will gain power over the whole world.
Must be good strong vocalist as all her lines are sung and she has to ululate. All her lines are in a made-up language. Must be good strong and dramatic performer with considerable power.
One big and memorable scene with leading cast.

Hear Me Roar: We have maidens, we have mothers … next stop? Crones, of course. One in this case, but there will surely be others as extras on the dosh khaleen. Maybe a somewhat demanding profile they are looking for, but I am certain the casting department will succeed again.
