Anyone using any casting services online??
I am curious about the successful use of any online casting companies.... such as NYCasting, actorsaccess, etc. I would love the names of some good ones on the east coast... seems alot of the castings focus on the west coast. I would love some input from anyone using any of these and their recommendations good or bad. Feb 05 06 02:53 pm Link I've tried using online casting for a few projects. I've even tried casting via MM and MySpace. With limited success. I've given up on it because it's too time consuming. So I am using actual "live" casting agencies because they cuy out a lot of the work. And not to slam the internet, but I also have found the results simply to be more professional and reliable. That's just my experience thus far...I am sure others may have had more success.

I primarily want to know if a model/actress has used one and had success. But thank you for your reply Feb 05 06 06:01 pm Link Vance wrote: Vance, those are casting service used by "live" agencies who usually require that they're talent be listed with them. Of course, listing through these agents is free and you can always list without an agent for a nominal fee ($10 a month in the case of LA Casting and they in return send your profile to agents looking for talent. This is actually how I landed my commercial agent) Feb 06 06 12:31 am Link Maggie Shirk wrote: let me put it this way.... according to "Self Management for Actors (second edition)" about 70% of tv/film casting is now done online (through these services) Feb 06 06 12:34 am Link Aimercat wrote: Gee Amy... that would not seemed to be a trumped-up based factoid would it?!!! :-) Feb 06 06 02:13 am Link Thank you AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know I have not wasted my $$$$  I signed up for both and have been working like a madman on them.. Just need to get more video up. Do you have video up on either??Feb 06 06 06:50 am Link Oh, and Hey Steven Bigler! We chatted a few years back.... Feb 06 06 06:51 am Link ive used all of the above and gotten some gigs thru them... they get a LOT of submissions though, and many through agencies... so hence the low reply rate. totally legit however ;-D Feb 06 06 07:14 am Link Mag's, lets talk video when you have some spare time. Feb 06 06 05:22 pm Link I've had equal success and failure rate through LACasting, Backstage, and the rest of them. Worst by far has been through the "3 letter" acronym site, but that was an experiment doomed to mediocrity anyway. Feb 06 06 06:47 pm Link Cool! Yes lets Corey!
