How to Get Auditions in Peru

Production companies and channels

The big production companies almost never post open calls, but it pays to know them. The channels do open castings for their reality shows. In soap operas, many roles are settled in closed castings: we explain how to get cast in TV shows and telenovelas.

Tondero

The film and theater production company behind ¡Asu Mare! which, according to its website, represents more than 70 figures. Its contact form has a “Representaciones” (representation) option.

Del Barrio Producciones

It produces telenovelas for América TV, such as Eres mi sangre and Nina de azúcar. It runs the Taller de Talentos (Talent Workshop), with theater for kids ages 6 to 11, acting for camera and singing.

Latina and ATV (reality shows)

Latina announced the call for Yo Soy castings on the program’s page, and ATV held an in-person casting for Combate in September 2026 (Caretas). They are entertainment castings rather than fiction, but they help you gain experience in front of a camera.

Institutions, unions and festivals

Since July 2025, Law 32409 requires signing a contract before starting work and expands artists’ remuneration rights (Lima Chamber of Commerce). These institutions help you learn your rights and find out what is being filmed.

Inter Artis Perú

The collective management society of audiovisual actors, authorized by INDECOPI (Peru’s competition and intellectual property authority). To join, you must have worked in film, TV or recorded theater and submit your resume and links to your work.

DAFO (Ministerio de Cultura)

The Dirección del Audiovisual, la Fonografía y los Nuevos Medios (Directorate of Audiovisual, Phonography and New Media) provides financial incentives for Peruvian film: in 2026 it opened 14 lines, for fiction, documentary, shorts and animation, among others.

Film in Peru (PROMPERÚ)

It advises productions on filming permits and works as a film commission until a formal one is created. Its website lists the international shoots made in the country.

Festival de Cine de Lima PUCP

The most important film festival in the country. Its 30th edition took place in August 2026, with a Peruvian competition and screenings in Cusco and Iquitos.

Where to study acting in Peru

Training counts in every casting and puts you in touch with directors and fellow cast members. If you are just starting out, the guide to becoming an actor from scratch shows you what to study and how to gain experience.

UNAE (formerly ENSAD)

The Escuela Nacional Superior de Arte Dramático (National Higher School of Dramatic Art) now presents itself as the Universidad Nacional de Arte Escénico (National University of Performing Arts). Its Theater program with a specialization in Acting offered 50 openings in the 2026 admission, with an artistic aptitude test, writing and a psychological evaluation.

Facultad de Artes Escénicas de la PUCP

The Theater program of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú has admission once a year, with an academic evaluation and an artistic one (texts, interview, physical and vocal training and a music test).

Websites and social accounts that post castings in Peru

These are the websites and accounts where calls for Peru show up. It pays to check them often, since many searches close within a few days. To choose where to sign up, see which casting websites are worth using and how to use them.

• Castings on Casting and Acting: castings and auditions posted on the site, with a country filter.
• @castingenlimaperu: posts and reposts calls every day. It also offers workshops, headshot packages and reels, which are separate from the calls.
• @solocastingperu: reposts calls and clarifies that it is not a casting company.
• Online Casting Perú: auditions posted by production companies; some ask for a paid VIP membership.
• CastingsCineTV (Peru): gathers calls, almost all taken from @castingenlimaperu.

How to prepare for a casting in Peru

When a call comes up, the winner is whoever answers fast and with complete audition materials. Have this ready before you write to any agency:

• Acting resume on one page, with your details, measurements, training and experience. Guide: how to make an acting resume.
• Headshots with current photos of your face, profile and full body. You can put them together at home: how to take headshots at home.
• Reel with your best scenes or, if you don’t have any work yet, a one-minute intro video. Guide: how to make an acting reel.
• Self-tape for remote castings: front lighting, a plain background and good audio. More details in what is a self-tape.

Watch out for fake castings

Reputable agencies and production companies in Peru charge the people who hire them, not the actors: joining their database or going to a casting has to be free. Be wary if they ask you for money, intimate photos or to go alone, especially if you’re a minor. We explain how to recognize them in how to spot a fake casting call.

Some agencies sell workshops, headshots or reels, and Online Casting charges a membership for certain castings. None of the agencies in this guide says that buying them is a requirement to apply: if someone demands it, be wary.

Frequently asked questions

Where are castings posted in Peru?

Mostly on the Instagram accounts of the agencies (Zebra 3, Perfiles Producciones, Kallpa Casting, Spiral and Cazting Z) and on accounts that repost calls such as @castingenlimaperu and @solocastingperu. Also on Online Casting Perú and in the castings section of Casting and Acting.

How do I send my materials to a Peruvian agency?

Each call lists the email or WhatsApp number: Kallpa asks for your name, age, phone number and a photo, Zebra 3 has a form for its database and Spiral has a registration form. Send exactly what they ask for, with current photos and, if you have one, your reel.

What rights do I have if I work as an actor in Peru?

The Artist Law (Ley del Artista), amended in 2025 by Law 32409, requires signing a contract before starting work and expands your remuneration rights. If you have already worked in film or TV, you can join Inter Artis Perú to collect your rights as a performer.

Do I have to pay to apply to a casting in Peru?

Reputable agencies charge the production company or the brand, not the actors. Some sell workshops or headshot packages separately, but going to a casting has to be free: if they charge you for it, be wary.
