Casting Networks
How do I submit to a project on Casting Networks?
Click the role from your home feed, pick the media you want to send (photo + video), add a note if requested, and hit Submit. Casting Networks also supports self-tape uploads directly inside the submission.
Casting Networks submissions are tighter and more structured than some other platforms — you pick specific media per role, not your whole profile.
The steps:
- From the home feed, open the project and the specific role.
- Read the breakdown carefully — note required skills, conflicts, age range, and any self-tape instructions.
- Click Submit and choose which headshot and which video (if any) to attach.
- Write a short cover note if the breakdown asks for one. Two to three sentences is plenty.
- If the role is a request-to-self-tape, you'll upload the tape through the submission itself.
What matters most on Casting Networks:
- Commercial casting directors live here. Your commercial headshot should be strong and upbeat — CN commercial CDs move fast.
- Skill clips attached to specific skills carry a lot of weight. If the role calls for "juggling" and you have a skill clip attached to your juggling skill, that's a huge advantage.
- Conflicts matter. A "conflict" is a competing brand in the same category you've already booked. Declare them honestly — getting caught with an undeclared conflict is a fast way to get dropped.
Don't submit if your type is clearly wrong. CN casting directors build shortlists from actors who self-select well.
