Casting Americans (www.castingamericans.com) is a website devoted to matching media producers to talent in many United States cities. Their clients are companies from all kinds of entertainment venues including producers, makeup artists, retailers, directors, record companies, fashion houses and more. These clients are looking for models, actors or musicians to appear in print media, commercials, plays, movies, runway shows and other entertainment outlets. Talent registers and produces profiles that client producers and scouts can peruse.

Talent gets listed by registering, creating a profile, displaying a resume and uploading photos and a video. This profile is not public and is only visible to clients of Casting America. Talent is responsible for keeping their profiles up to date. In fact, the site may delete a profile if it is out of date. Everyone is welcome. All ages, shapes and sizes are needed. If the talent is under 16 years of age, a guardian's consent is required before using the site.

Casting American's Talent Managers then match your look, experience and abilities to their clients' needs. Each Talent ...
... Manager specializes in a location. Once they find a possible match, they contact the client who reviews your profile.

Once the client finds possibilities from among the talent recommended, he will contact the talent directly and request an audition. Sometimes they will actually offer a job and propose a pay rate just off the profile and video, which serves as an informal audition. The talent can accept or decline such an offer. The type of work and the schedule is determined by the client, as is the audition schedule, rehearsals, and payment amounts and procedures.

Talent can register with Casting Americans for a free trial period of three months, after which a non-refundable fee of $12 per month is charged. All payments to Casting Americans are made through PayPal subscriptions. There is no contract and you may cancel at any time.

The Casting Americans website also has assistance in the form of Audition Tips for talent seeking work. They keep in contact with listed talent, keeping them informed of all the latest entertainment industry trends to help them in their quest to find jobs.

Casting Americans is not an employer, nor are they guaranteeing appropriate matches will be found for media clients or for the talent registered to their site. However, they are an excellent resource to find the right talent or right employer for any media project. They have a big name in the industry, and top clients use them all the time. They aggressively seek work for their talent.

More and more clients are using the Internet these days when seeking talent. Casting Americans is an online agent, available 24/7, unlike other agents. Whether you're a professional model or performer, or just looking for work as an extra, this website could become your best source for local jobs.
