Signing up is completely free for both talent and clients, as is creating and managing your profile. Applying to casting calls always remains free for talent.

You describe your casting call—for example, the type of talent you are looking for, how many people you need, and the location and period of the assignment. Our search engine then searches our network and, within seconds, shows a list of suitable profiles, including photos and availability.

Based on this, you create a draft casting call. Once you submit it, we review it and approve it if it meets our guidelines. We then match the most suitable talent to your casting call. You can try this for free on our clients page.

Posting a casting call is always free, even if you receive multiple applications. Only when you want to contact talent directly do you choose a paid option: pay per casting call or choose an annual iCasting Pro subscription. View all rates on the pricing page and in our terms of delivery.

As a client, you add funds to your personal iCasting balance in advance. Subscription fees, individual casting-call costs, and any other paid features are deducted from this balance. You can find more information in our terms of delivery.

iCasting Pro is an annual subscription for clients that provides access to additional features, such as viewing talent contact details. The subscription runs for twelve months and renews automatically unless you cancel in time. See our terms of delivery for the exact details.

Once you have selected a paid option, you can message talent directly through the platform chat, or view their contact details if you have a subscription. This allows you to arrange your casting without an intermediary and under transparent terms.

Yes. Your client dashboard gives you one clear overview of all active casting calls, applications received, and conversations with talent. This helps you stay organised, even for larger productions with multiple roles.

Yes, where available, you can choose to have a payment to talent processed through iCasting. iCasting then acts as an administrative and technical intermediary. The gross amount is deducted from your balance, iCasting deducts a 3% administration fee, and the talent receives the remaining net amount. No separate invoice is issued to you for the talent fee or the deducted 3%. See also our terms of delivery.

Based on your profile, including your categories, age, region and availability, we automatically show you relevant casting calls.

No problem—new casting calls are added every week. Turn on notifications in your profile settings to be notified immediately of new calls that match your profile, so you can respond more quickly next time.

You agree on the fee directly with the client, usually through the platform chat. iCasting always recommends confirming payment arrangements in writing before the job starts.

No. iCasting is for both new and experienced talent, from extras to professional actors and models. A complete profile with clear photos is often more important than extensive experience.

The AI casting assistant helps you create a casting call. Describe what you are looking for, the assistant asks follow-up questions, and it turns your answers into a draft casting call that you can review, edit and publish.

Using the AI casting assistant is currently free. Publishing the final casting call may involve costs, depending on the plan you choose. See the pricing page and our terms of delivery.

Do not enter sensitive personal data, passwords, payment details, health information, or any other information that is not necessary to create a casting call. See also our privacy policy.

Subscriptions and casting-call fees paid to iCasting itself are handled through the iCasting balance and secure payment providers. Fees paid by a client to talent for a casting call may take place outside the platform. We strongly advise you never to transfer money in advance to an unknown party.
