Aug 11, 2025
In an industry where opportunities can appear and vanish in hours, knowing where to look for auditions can be just as important as nailing the audition itself.
Whether you’re building your résumé, chasing that breakout role, or simply wanting to keep your skills sharp, having the right casting resources at your fingertips is non-negotiable.
Below is our curated list of casting websites, mailing lists, and digital platforms that every serious actor should know about in 2025.
Major Casting Platforms
Backstage - One of the most trusted resources for actors at all levels. Offers casting calls for theatre, film, TV, commercials, and voiceover. Also features valuable career advice and industry news.
Actors Access - A go-to for TV and film auditions in the U.S. Upload your headshot, résumé, and reels to submit directly to casting directors.
Casting Networks - Popular for commercial work, industrials, and short films — especially valuable if you’re in a major market like NYC, LA, or Atlanta.
Casting Frontier - Known for quick-turnaround audition postings, often used by casting for commercials and branded content.
Specialized & Niche Opportunities
Playbill.com Jobs & Auditions - The holy grail for theatre lovers — lists both Broadway and regional theatre auditions.
Stage 32 - A networking hub for actors, writers, and filmmakers. Great for finding indie film opportunities and collaborators.
Voice123 / Voices.com - Perfect if you’re branching into voiceover work — both sites connect you directly to clients and agencies.
Mailing Lists & Alerts

Local Theatre & Film Commission Newsletters - Many cities publish upcoming productions and extras casting calls — check your local film office.
Pro Tip: Organize Your Submissions
With so many platforms, it’s easy to lose track of what you’ve submitted for. Keep an Audition Tracker (spreadsheet or journal) to log:
Project name & date submitted
Platform used
Casting director contact
Notes from the audition or self-tape
This simple habit helps you stay on top of follow-ups and spot patterns in your bookings.
