Update (4/13/19) – In addition to fixing the format on this post so it’s consistent with the new layout of my site, I’ve added critiques of four more casting resources to the mix!

Late last year, I decided it was time for me to get back into the Acting game. Professionally speaking, at least. I’d put things on hold in 2009 because of a variety of reasons (which I’m sure I’ll write about in another post at some point), knowing I’d get back to pursuing my dreams “someday.” Y’know, when the conditions are perfect and the stars are aligned, yadda yadda yadda, et cetera and so forth, ad infinitum.

Well, that perfect “someday” will never come. So, after some soul-searching and consideration, I decided late last year that then was as good a time as any to declare that I’m back, and committed myself to going at it harder than ever. I got new headshots, revamped my website, put together some video clips, gave my social media a makeover, re-read The Business of Acting, updated my action plan, and got back on all of the casting sites.

That last one was perhaps the most expensive and time-consuming task out of all of them. It’s one thing to spend $300 or so on new pictures. It’s another to pay through the nose to upload them everywhere (not to mention post video clips, fill out size cards and skill sheets, update my credits, etc.).

So, with all that in mind, I wanted to put together a list of the casting sites I’m using right now and my impressions of them. Your mileage may vary.

By request, I’ve now added shortcuts to all of the sites reviewed:

With that, let’s take a look at site #1:
