Did you know? One of our widely used casting programs for viewing auditions is Cast It. Many studios prefer casting offices use Cast It, specifically because it’s the only program available where studio also gets direct access to ALL auditions. Not all executives may view auditions but the point is that they can. What does this mean for you?

Let’s talk about the dang algorithm.

Let’s talk about the dang algorithm. Does timing in submissions matter? Do we get burnt out by the end? How soon are we done looking through submissions? While going through thousands of submissions IS a time suck, we’re committed to it. It’s a massively important part of our job. Do we get burnt out? Sure! Wouldn’t you?!
