How do I find a legit casting call?

To find legitimate casting calls, start by using reputable platforms like Project Casting, which vets postings to ensure authenticity. Always research the casting company or director associated with the call. Legitimate opportunities typically don’t require payment to audition, and any contact should come from professional email addresses rather than personal accounts.

Can you audition without an agent?

Yes, you can audition without an agent. Many open casting calls and online platforms allow individual actors to submit directly for roles. While having an agent can provide access to more exclusive opportunities and handle negotiations, many new actors start their careers by attending open calls or self-submitting for roles online.

What is the difference between a casting call and an audition?

A casting call is a notice put out by producers or casting directors seeking potential actors for roles, inviting them to apply or present themselves. An audition is the process where actors perform a specific piece, like a monologue or a script, in front of the casting team after responding to a casting call. Essentially, the casting call is the request, and the audition is the response.

What is the best free casting call website?

Generally, you should not pay to attend casting calls. Legitimate casting calls and auditions do not require payment from actors. If a casting call asks for money to audition or to secure a role, it is likely a scam. The standard practice is that any fees associated with the casting process are covered by the production.
