A casting call is an open invitation or announcement made by casting directors, producers, or production companies to attract actors, performers, or individuals interested in a particular role or opportunity. It is a crucial part of the casting process in the entertainment industry.
Casting calls are typically publicized through various channels such as casting websites, industry publications, social media platforms, and sometimes through talent agencies. The purpose of a casting call is to inform potential candidates about an upcoming project and invite them to audition or submit their application for consideration.
The casting call usually includes specific details about the project, such as the type of production (film, TV show, theater, etc.), the role or roles being cast, the requirements or qualifications for the role (age, gender, physical attributes, skills), and instructions on how to apply or audition. It may also provide information about the production timeline, location, and any compensation or contract details.
Interested individuals who meet the requirements outlined in the casting call can then follow the instructions provided to submit their application, headshot, resume, and sometimes a demo reel or portfolio. Casting directors or their team will review the submissions and may invite selected candidates to audition or attend a callback for further evaluation. The casting call serves as a way to attract a wide pool of potential talent and identify individuals who are a good fit for the project.
