The Virtues of Virtuality

In an ever-evolving industry, Aura Casting offers a wide pool of opportunities through our virtual casting process. By streamlining virtual auditions, Aura Casting embraces modern-day technology to provide accessible opportunities for all actors. Discover the amazing perks of virtual casting below.

1. Global Reach:

• Virtual casting allows casting directors to reach a broader pool of talent, including actors from different geographic locations. This expands the diversity and variety of talent available for consideration, further connecting our community!

2. Time and Cost Efficiency:

• Traditional casting processes involve organizing in-person auditions, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Virtual casting eliminates the need for travel and accommodation expenses, saving both time and money.

3. Accessibility:

• Actors who might face geographical or mobility constraints can participate in virtual casting, providing opportunities for individuals who might otherwise be unable to attend in-person auditions.

4. Flexible Scheduling:

• Virtual casting allows actors to submit their audition materials at their convenience, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules. Casting directors can also review submissions on their own time.

5. Enhanced Pre-screening:

• Casting directors can easily review and pre-screen a large number of auditions virtually, enabling them to shortlist candidates more efficiently before inviting them for callbacks or in-person auditions. Just remember to possess the right self-tape equipment.

6. Improved Organization:

• Virtual casting platforms often provide tools for better organization and management of audition submissions. This can include categorizing submissions, tagging specific attributes, and easily sharing materials with other decision-makers.

7. Safety and Convenience:

• Especially relevant in times of public health concerns, virtual casting minimizes the need for physical contact and ensures the safety of both actors and casting professionals. It also offers convenience by removing the necessity for travel.

8. Time Zone Flexibility:

• With actors submitting video auditions, time zone differences become less of a barrier. Actors can submit their auditions regardless of their location, and casting directors can review submissions when it suits their schedule.
