Casting Safety

Exploring opportunities should be exciting — not risky. Here's how to stay safe.

Red flags

  • Guarantees of a role or of income.
  • Large upfront fees to be considered for a specific job.
  • Requests for bank details, Social Security numbers, or passwords early on.
  • Pressure to decide immediately.
  • Meetings in private or unprofessional settings.

Good habits

  • Research companies and platforms before applying.
  • Keep copies of communications and terms.
  • Tell someone where you're going for a shoot.
  • Walk away from anything that feels wrong.

Research any platform before paying or sharing personal information — including our affiliate partner, Project Casting, where you can browse casting opportunities and review each listing yourself. (affiliate link to Project Casting)
