First Things First

A casting call is a professional evaluation used to meet you, review your application, discuss availability and preferences, and determine whether there may be a fit for future productions. Attending a casting does not obligate you to accept any job or scene.

01

What to Bring

Valid Government ID

Bring a current government-issued photo ID. We verify that every applicant and model is 18 or older.

Simple Camera-Ready Clothing

Bring two or three outfits that make you comfortable and reflect how you want to present professionally. Avoid oversized logos or clothing that makes it difficult to evaluate your appearance on camera.

Basic Shoes & Accessories

If they are part of your normal presentation, you may bring heels, alternate shoes, or simple accessories. You do not need to purchase anything special for a first casting.

Current Contact Information

Make sure your email, phone, city, travel availability, and preferred contact method are current in your profile.

How the Casting Works

01

Check-In & Verification

We confirm your appointment, identity, age, and basic information. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions before anything begins.

02

Short Interview

We discuss prior experience, availability, goals, comfort on camera, the kinds of productions you are interested in, and anything else you want the casting team to know.

03

Measurements & Profile

We may confirm profile measurements, appearance details, and information needed to keep your casting profile accurate.

04

Camera Test

A first casting will typically include simple photos and a short video test so we can evaluate camera presence, comfort, movement, communication, and studio-lighting appearance.

05

Preferences & Boundaries

We review the preferences you selected in your account. You can change any selection, mark something as discuss-first, or keep it private. Nothing displayed on a profile replaces a specific conversation and confirmation for an individual production.

06

Next Steps

At the end, we explain what happens next. We may approve your profile, request more information, recommend a second conversation, or keep you in consideration for future productions.

IMPORTANT

What You Should Not Expect

  • You do not have to accept a scene or production during the casting.
  • A casting call does not constitute consent to future activity.
  • You should not feel pressured to change a boundary in order to be considered.
  • Casting photos or video are not made public without the appropriate approval process.

Virtual Casting Calls

Virtual castings follow the same general approach: preliminary verification, interview, availability discussion, and a short on-camera test. You receive a private session link. Choose a quiet space, good lighting, and a stable connection. The session link and your personal information are not published.

Arrival, Timing & Guests

Plan to arrive about 10–15 minutes before your scheduled time. Casting length varies, so leave enough time that you do not feel rushed. If you need information about the guest or companion policy for a particular location, contact the studio before your appointment.

Privacy & Casting Media

Your legal name, identification, contact information, private limits, and internal casting media are kept separate from your public profile. Only photographs specifically approved for publication can appear in the public model directory.

What Happens Afterward

The team reviews the casting notes and media. If approved, you can complete or update your public profile, select media for publication, and receive invitations for productions or future castings. Approval as a model does not mean you are required to accept every opportunity you receive.
