Casting Companies

Find Casting Companies near you!

It is the job of casting companies to get you work. They are the middle-man between the show, the movie, or the play, and you, the talent, the actor, singer, dancer. The problem is that many casting companies only want people who have already worked, or have somewhat of a name for them selves already. It's the old catch-22. How are you supposed to get the work experience if they won't give you a chance to show them what you've got?

Another problem with some casting companies is that they want money up front before they will accept you, and then once they have it, they seem to drop off the face of the planet, sometimes almost literally. Casting companies have the advantage of seeming to be connected with all the work, like without them you can't get the right person to see your picture and say "that's the one!" You feel almost powerless to try and work without them.

Thankfully, even though all casting companies are not shysters or snobby elitist institutions who look down their nose at the average struggling actor, there are other options for the serious actor searching for work. There are now Internet services like Casting 411.com that will put the work in touch with you, the work, that is, meaning the information about auditions and casting that you need. No more paying small-time casting companies to get you twenty dollar a day with no meal audience work, just go online!
