Drawn from what is actually said on camera, so you can decide whether to spend the 2:59 watching it.

Pick your sites by the work you want next

Most actors cannot afford to pay for every casting site every month, so the deciding factor is the kind of material you want to book next. Choose the subscriptions that carry that category of breakdown instead of spreading money across all of them.

Features and shorts: Hollywood Casting and Film plus the big three

For feature films and short films, the recommended sites are Hollywood Casting and Film, CAZT, Backstage and Actors Access. Those carry the bulk of independent film breakdowns open to self-submission.

Self-submitting is not how you get network television
