Australia and New Zealand's primary casting platform for film, TV, and commercials.
Create an account at showcast.com.au, fill out your vitals, agent details, headshot, and reel, then pay the annual membership. Most Showcast actors are represented by an Australian or New Zealand agent.
Around AU$150–200/year for a full Performer profile. Payment is annual, not monthly. Agent members pay separately.
Once you have a signed agent, go to Profile → Agent and add their details. Your agent can then manage submissions on your behalf through their agent portal.
Vitals are the searchable basic facts about you — age range, gender, ethnicity, height, base location, availability. Casting directors filter searches on these. Missing or wrong vitals means you don't appear.
Go to Profile → Availability and mark specific dates you're unavailable (travel, other jobs). Default is available — just block out when you're not.
Go to your profile and copy the URL from Share Profile. It's app.showcast.com.au/profile/[your-id] and works without a login.
Go to Profile → Media → Add Clip. Upload an MP4 or MOV file. Keep it under 2 minutes, title it clearly, and lead with your strongest moment.
Upload through Profile → Media, tag the clip to a specific skill category. Keep under 30 seconds per clip, one skill per clip, well-lit and well-mic'd.
