If you're a producer or director looking to cast talent for your next video project, you've probably asked yourself: Where do I find great actors?

There are three major casting platforms that industry professionals use: Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Backstage. These sites host thousands of actors, but there’s a catch—you either have to pay for access or undergo a background check and get verified just to post a casting call. While these practices do have value, that’s time and money that you may not have when production is just around the corner.

The Challenge of Casting on Your Own

Using these platforms might seem like the easiest way to find talent, but many producers quickly realize the process can be:

  • Time-Consuming – Sifting through hundreds of submissions takes hours, especially when many actors may not fit your needs.

  • Overwhelming – If you’re new to these platforms, you may not know where to start or how to attract the right talent.

  • Unreliable – You don’t always know if an actor is professional, experienced, or even likely to show up on shoot day.

Why Not Let a Casting Service Handle It?

Instead of navigating these challenges yourself, you can hire a professional casting service like Aura Casting to do the work for you.

At Aura Casting, we offer virtual casting services, whether that’s photo submissions, self-tapes, or virtual callbacks. We specialize in commercials, short films, voiceover, and still photography—casting talent across the country using our strong network of industry connections.
