The outlet actors
were missing
Casting and Acting is a digital magazine and a platform for actors and actresses. We publish guides, casting calls and resources, and we give you a professional profile so directors and agencies can find you.
Open, honest information for every actor
The entertainment industry can feel closed off, and useful information is scattered everywhere. We built this space so that any actor, with or without an agent, in a big city or a small town, has the same tools and the same opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
Does Casting and Acting charge anything?
It is free for actors and actresses: reading, creating your profile and applying to casting calls cost nothing.
Who posts the casting calls?
There are two sources. On one side, casting calls curated by our team, with a link to the original listing. On the other, casting calls posted by directors, agencies and production companies with approved accounts.
How do I apply to a casting call?
With your actor account, you apply to community casting calls right from the listing and the director receives your full profile. The ones our team curates take you to the original listing so you can follow its steps.
Who can see my profile?
Your profile is public: anyone with the link can see it, and so can the directors who search the directory. If you are a minor, only approved directors can see it. Your resume is downloaded from your profile and kept out of search engines.
