Sound familiar?

You don't have a talent problem. You have a response problem.

Half your outreach goes nowhere
You send twenty introductions and hear back from six, most of them from people who stopped acting two years ago.
Sign-off lives in an email thread
Your producer replies to the wrong message, the client likes someone nobody can find again, and the decision slips a day.
The role starts shooting Monday
Deadlines do not move. You need people who are around this week, not a list of everyone who ever signed up.
How it works

From brief to booked in three steps.

01
Describe the role
Type the brief the way you would say it out loud. No boolean filters, no tag hunting.

Why teams switch

Two things no other casting platform gives you.

Collaborative shortlists
Share one link. Producers and clients vote Yes, Maybe, or No and leave notes, with no account and no login. Votes are visible to everyone on the link and never to the performer.

"Great read on the sides." - Producer Pat
Availability signals
Small badges tell you who is around and who replies, so you spend your outreach on people who will answer.

Responsiveness means they answered, and declining counts. We never score how someone replied.
I filled three background roles for a Tuesday shoot on a Friday afternoon. That used to take me a week of emails.

The shortlist link is the whole thing for me. My producer votes on her phone and we are done arguing in email.

Knowing who actually answers changed how I work. I stop wasting introductions on profiles nobody maintains.

Before you ask

The questions every casting director asks us.

No. You describe the role in plain language and we rank the pool by fit: headshots, profile detail, casting score, and recent activity. You are reviewing a shortlist, not scrolling a directory.

See who's available in your market right now.

Open the pool, run one search, and judge it on what comes back. Free forever, no card, no sales call unless you ask.

One minute of setup, then post your first role. Free forever.
