This is a free voice over site with casting notices.
It currently has very little activity, but its parent site castingcallpro for actors started the same and little by little is becoming the place where UK casting directors go when they want to cast actors without going through the agents' route (you now have to pay to be on this one). As it is free, and there are some valid castings, I think you should all put your profiles up before they start to charge for it. There is a US version, but I can't access it so I don't know how good it is. As it is a British company, I imagine that their marketing is much better in the UK. On top, we haven't got anything else in the UK, and we all know there are plenty pay to play American sites. I need to warn you that there are unpaid notices too, don't be offended by them, just ignore them. I've also seen some legit postings. You've got nothing to lose (maybe 10 min to set up the profile) and you gain a chance to be found by UK production companies! ![]() |

Thanks for information on this, Claire. I'm putting up a profile there now. They appear to have a different site for every geographical location, so mine is going up on the Canadian one.

Jodi, to be honest, you should chose the location where you want to find work and not the location where you are. Also, as it is a British company, I believe they only have a reputation in the UK (for now) and that therefore the other sites have very little chance of attracting good prospect. In the UK they are regarded as one of the best casting services.
I don't think it is possible to have a profile in different countries. I need to ask them. They are also very nice guys, they organise networking events in London and I've met them a couple of times. I'm sure eventually they'll use their marketing efforts towards other countries, but they already have a lot of work with the UK. |

Unfortunately, when I tried to originally register under the UK site, they wouldn't allow it as the postal code "wasn't in their database". So I *had* to choose Canada. Or at least, that was the impression I was given ... I've written to them to ask about things, so we'll see what they say.
Anyway, thanks for the advice!

That was kinda my thought.
Their Canadian site is DEAD DEAD DEAD. But I guess it can't hurt to write to them, either. We'll see what they say.

If it's any solace, the US one's been dormant for a while.
I got a profile there a while back... nuthin' yet. Adapt, Adopt, and Improve, Joe J Thomas www.JoeActor.com |

They're up to TWO now...
I'm pretty sure we've got at least FIVE here! The "Employers" section is a little better, but that may come from individual profiles (maybe) Dunno, Joe J Thomas www.JoeActor.com |

If you can't get on the UK site, then it's only one more link to your website!
The UK site is not very active yet, but my agent put me on there, not me. And the acting site started slow, I got my free membership for life and now it's one of the best sites and people have to pay a lot to get on it. So I figured, the same could happen with the voice version. I have little hope for the US and Canadian sites though! |
