How We Integrate Safety into Casting Calls

When it comes to casting calls, safety is a paramount concern for both the actors and the production team.

At Aura Casting, we understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment for all involved. That's why we go the extra mile to integrate safety measures into our casting process.

One of the ways we prioritize safety is through thorough discussions with the creative team.

We understand that certain circumstances may require a plan in place beforehand. For example, some actors and agents may not want to submit for a project if it requires the booked talent to swim in the ocean or be in a smoky environment. By having open and honest conversations upfront, we ensure that everyone is on the same page and can make informed decisions about their participation.

Another aspect that we prioritize is the presence of studio teachers when minors are on set.

We understand the unique needs and vulnerabilities of young actors, and we take their safety and well-being seriously. By having certified studio teachers present, we can provide a nurturing environment for minors, ensuring that their education, well-being, and safety are properly attended to.

In addition, we recognize the importance of scrutinizing the script and character descriptions. We carefully analyze the material to identify any elements that may make an actor uncomfortable. By being proactive in our approach, we aim to create a safe space where actors can fully express themselves without compromising their well-being.

Furthermore, we also give actors the opportunity to share their experience and comfort level through the audition form. We understand that everyone has different boundaries and comfort zones. By allowing actors to candidly communicate their level of comfort, we can make well-informed decisions and ensure that the tasks at hand align with their boundaries and preferences.

At the end of the day, everyone wants to feel taken care of and valued. By prioritizing safety from the start of the casting process, we create an inclusive and supportive environment for all involved. We believe that safety should never be an afterthought; it should be an integral part of every production.

So, whether you are an actor, agent, or part of the creative team, we hope that you share our commitment to set safety. Together, we can create an industry where everyone feels secure, respected, and able to fully showcase their talent.
