Can I email casting directors?
Don’t email a casting director—unless he is a good friend—on a weekend. I often get unsolicited emails from actors who send me their reels on weekends. I’ve also gotten emails from actors I don’t know, asking me to look at their headshot proofs (and they attach them).
Are casting networks free?
Casting Networks offers customizable multimedia profiles. Casting Networks Inc. does offer a free account, but there is a catch. In order to register for free, you MUST have agency representation. Without representation, there is a $25 annual fee.
Should you contact casting directors directly?
You definitely can reach out to casting directors, and though you won’t always get a response, in my experience most of them are happy to receive emails from actors. Being a freelance actor is a genuine alternative and some actors do really well dealing directly with casting directors.
