Jump to Casting Calls

The performing arts world is wonderfully wide, which means audition opportunities can look very different depending on the project. Some are formal open calls. Some are digital submissions. Some require a monologue, song cut, dance combo, reel, portfolio, headshot, resume, self-tape, or a brave willingness to learn choreography in a room full of people pretending they are not nervous.

• Theatre auditions: Plays, musicals, staged readings, workshops, touring productions, community theatre, fringe work, and new works.
• Dance auditions: Company calls, commercial dance, musical theatre dance calls, ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, and specialty movement roles.
• Music opportunities: Band auditions, vocal calls, ensemble openings, orchestra notices, tribute acts, touring groups, and live performance gigs.
• Film and screen casting: Short films, indie projects, commercials, extras casting, background work, web series, and local production notices.
• Comedy and variety: Improv teams, sketch groups, stand-up showcases, variety acts, hosting opportunities, and specialty performer calls.
• Immersive and event roles: Character performers, brand activations, themed attractions, interactive theatre, experiential events, and seasonal entertainment.

The best opportunities are not always the loudest ones. Sometimes the right call is the smaller listing that fits your skills, schedule, and current “I can absolutely make that rehearsal time” reality.

Casting calls can be exciting, but they also deserve a careful read. Before submitting, look for details about the role, production company, dates, pay, union status, location, self-tape requirements, materials requested, and who is collecting submissions.

If an opportunity asks for unusual fees, sensitive personal information, or communication outside official channels, pause and verify. A legitimate creative opportunity should still make sense after the glitter settles.

A good audition notice should help you understand what the team needs and whether the opportunity is a fit. Read the full notice before applying, especially if travel, unpaid time, long rehearsal blocks, or specific materials are involved.

• Confirm the source: Check the official production, venue, company, casting office, or organizer page when possible.
• Read the role breakdown: Make sure the role, age range, vocal range, movement level, or skill requirements match what you can offer.
• Check the dates: Rehearsals, callbacks, fittings, tech week, travel, and performance dates matter before you submit.
• Understand compensation: Look for pay, stipend, volunteer status, union details, travel reimbursement, or other terms.
• Follow instructions exactly: File names, subject lines, forms, video lengths, and requested materials are often part of the first impression.
• Protect your information: Be cautious with payment requests, sensitive personal details, or offers that feel vague or rushed.

Auditions are already dramatic enough. The submission process does not need extra plot twists.
