Casting Resources
1. Backstage
Backstage is a platform used for film, television, and theatrical auditions. Artists can apply filters to narrow down the many opportunities from modeling to voice-over work. With a paid subscription, you can create a personal profile and apply for jobs right on the site. You can subscribe annually or monthly. You get the best deal by signing up for a year! Also, subscribers can set notifications to ensure they never miss a break and track all their submissions right from the Talent Dashboard. Backstage is a great tool for artists who are still looking for representation, but it is also helpful for individuals who have representation to make sure you’re keeping up with opportunities!
2. Playbill
The Playbill Jobs page can be your hub for all things theater! The easy search function can narrow down job category, union status, location, and compensation. Playbill Jobs isn’t just for actors as it combines the job listings for all related industry jobs including non-theatrical, behind-the-scenes, and survival jobs fit for actors. This is a great resource to broaden your horizons and your expectations of what jobs are possible.
3. Actors Access
Actors Access is a great online platform for actors, singers, and dancers alike. You can manage your profile, adding headshots, resumes, performance videos, and more. Investing in an Actors Access Plus Subscription will allow unlimited subscriptions, 24 free slide downloads per day, and unlimited Eco-Casts. SAG-AFTRA members receive 20% off their Actors Access Plus Annual Membership.
4. Casting Networks
Casting Networks can help you connect with talent representatives, creators, and casting directors involved in film, television, and commercials. With an annual or monthly billed membership, Casting Networks allows for unlimited submissions and unlimited media uploads. This is a great platform to increase your digital presence and widen the pool of opportunities you can apply for.
5. Broadway World
