About Casting360
Committed to excellence, innovation, and constant improvement, Casting360 allows actors and other talent access to thousands of casting calls and provides casting directors with a comprehensive database of more than 1 million members from around the country. Coming in all ages, shapes, and sizes and a diversity of backgrounds, the talent includes singers, dancers, models, and musicians. Casting opportunities range from films and episodic television to music venues, theater, and advertisements. Casting360’s database also provides fertile ground for those seeking to fill roles on reality television programs. Founded in 2010 with input from entertainment industry professionals on how to fulfill their unique needs, Casting360 has already received recognition as a nominee for Internet excellence awards. The company website enables casting directors to customize and localize their searches or seek talent nationwide. Talent members can search for casting calls throughout the country or in a particular city. The system works like this: Casting360 allows a talent member to set up a professional portfolio with photos and a video. Once the portfolio receives approval and online posting, the member can submit to casting calls. Interested casting directors then review the portfolio and contact the member. The Casting360 site includes valuable resources, such as industry advice and interviews with casting directors, photographers, and actors. Additionally, Casting360 offers video acting lessons, including suggestions on auditioning and other key information. Participants in the acting lessons gain the advantage of highlighted portfolios, providing greater exposure during searches. Most successful performers began humbly, and Casting360 enables aspiring actors to find work as extras, allowing them to experience television or film production on set with little pressure. Serving as background in a production, extras earn $10 or more per hour in nonspeaking roles as students, people on the street, or café patrons, for instance. Casting360 provides one of the largest resources under the sun for casting extras, as well as most other performers.
