5 Reasons Why You Need CastNet

1: Improve your chances of securing paid acting work
Being a trained professional doesn't count for much when the number
of actors looking for work is so much greater than the amount of work available. CastNet increases your exposure and opportunities for work and marks you out as a true professional.

2: Access to work and industry contacts
If you don't have access to quality casting information and your agent isn't doing enough to get your CV seen by the right people, you've wasted every penny that you spent on training, headshots and showreels. With CastNet, you have direct access to the best job information available.

3: A resource working on your behalf
With many agencies, the more clients they take on, the more likely they are to have someone cover the roles that may be offered. It costs an agency nothing to take on an actor and they lose nothing if they're unsuccessful in finding you work. Plus, most agents have little or no interest in the type of work their clients wish to do. At CastNet we are dedicated to serving your professional and artistic needs.

4: Avoid favouritism
Your agent will submit only one or two clients for each role. Their decision will usually be based on the past success rate and strength of their personal relationship with the actors they choose. Unfortunately, a casting director that may have preferred to cast you for a role will often never get the opportunity to see your CV and headshot. Working
with CastNet empowers you to make crucial decisions and lets you avoid this type of favouritism.

5: Enjoy more control over your career
Rather than helping you find work, your agent (ironically) could be the major obstacle between you and the people with the power to make decisions in your favour. It is quite typical for actors to get little more than four to five castings per year as a result of their agents' efforts. CastNet will help you broaden your access to work.
