Question: Do I have to pay a fee to apply for any of your casting calls?


Answer: Absolutely not!


Our casting application process is always free of charge. It is essential to remember that you should ​never pay for any castings, as charging fees for auditions or castings is not only highly unethical but ​may also be illegal in some cases.
