What is Actors On Demand?
Actors On Demand is a new and innovative video podcast that showcases actors like never before. For actors, they can now not only be seen but heard which gives a true sense of their on camera presence. For casting directors and filmmakers, Actors on Demand allows them to quickly find and book the best in local talent at their next audition, saving time and money. You can watch it online or take it with you on your ipod or laptop.

How does the process work?
On the day of the filming session you will arrive and be given forms to fill out. If there is a line, we will go on a first come, first serve basis. Once inside we will check the paper work to make sure it is all in order and the payment must be made. Directly following we will film your segment and this will conclude the casting process. We will email you when the video podcast is complete and when it will be up on the site.

What happens during the filming session?
Actors are given a five minute window to shoot their segment. This time is for filming and making sure all paper work is correct. No more than three different takes will be shot and the actor picks which one is best.

How should I dress and look?
Actors are asked to dress appropriately for the roles they would like to be cast in or dress in attire that represents who they are. No clothing with large logos.
