About Us

From finding material to assembling a cast

ReadyCasting brings audition preparation and production planning into one workspace for actors, casting directors, directors, and crew. A member can be a performer in one production and an organizer in another. Profile opportunity choices cover performing, directing, design, production, technical work, education, and front-of-house roles.

Start with your profile, find material for an audition, then build a cast or invite your production team to collaborate. Your dashboard brings upcoming appointments, recently updated work, and recent Material additions together. What’s New and the Development progress timeline share concise highlights of improvements you can use. Every account starts with private sample auditions and projects to explore before creating a real posting. Owners can delete samples and real workspaces; deleting an audition cancels its appointments.

Actors looking out at a theatre audience

Find material that fits

Explore monologues, plays, authors, characters, songs, and videos. Combine character filters or name the show you are auditioning for to find suggestions from other plays. Results explain matches to the filters you choose. Character attributes carry through connected Material, and editorial playing ranges are clearly labeled as estimates. Play lookup, filters, and results use the same connected catalog. Sourced play summaries and author biographies add context; saved monologue summaries are available in results, with source credits on the play and author detail pages. Monologue results put the character above the play title, with a linked heading and readable saved text and summaries. List keeps character facts beside the reading area on wide screens; Grid and smaller screens place them below the heading. Both Grid and List begin with compact previews. Read More loads the full saved content and available play context in place; Read Less restores the preview. Videos load their player when you select Play video. Themes and Feelings add editorial discovery labels based on reviewed passages or synopses. Combine them with character and period filters, and see connected material through Plays, Authors, and Videos. Coverage is growing; unreviewed entries stay unclassified. Monologue summaries remain separate from script text. Grid and List use ordinary page scrolling without clipped reading boxes, using the same stored text as the detail page. Material detail pages share a clear identity header and facts area: monologues lead with the character and script, plays with their synopsis and connected records, and authors with their biography and works.

Build a working actor profile

Keep headshots, résumés, reels, credits, skills, dialects, and training together. Résumé uploads fill a profile draft you can review before saving. Edit Credits, Skills, and Training in separate sections with one profile save. My Account places your square photo and name above the section menu, with a wider editor and View My Profile at the top. Reorder credits by dragging or with the keyboard, confirm deletions, and save all changes together. Each credit has an eye for profile visibility and a magnifying glass for member-search inclusion; hiding a credit also excludes it from member search. Account Settings groups audience choices, the profile address, and email and password changes with identity confirmation, and optional pronouns support multiple sets and custom wording. Profile editing flags unsaved changes and takes you to fields that need attention.

Build my profile

Find people for a production

Browse members who chose directory discovery. Grid member cards keep browsing compact. List adds a selected shared credit, skills, location, and filter matches beside a square headshot; full profiles hold the complete shared experience. Save people to private member boards and share a board with individuals or companies when useful. Search for skills, playing ranges, training, or a theatre in their credits—for example, actors with stage-combat experience who have worked at your local theatre.

Discover members

Plan your production

Projects keeps your production plan and cast together. Create new workspaces in Projects; personal credits connect directly to shared production history. Owners can delete projects, including private samples, from their details. Deletion removes workspace access and project photos while preserving personal credits, Material, and shared history. Project edits never change the public archive. Owners can publish a separate production page while keeping workspace notes private. Link a catalog play and its authors, add its characters as unfilled roles, then assign discoverable members or custom people. Keep casting preferences, photos, and private notes with each role. Switch between cards and a compact list, open linked member profiles, and return to the same cast-list page. Adding someone to a plan does not offer them a role or notify them.

Open Projects

Organize auditions and appointments

Link a catalog play and its authors, or name a custom project. Add characters with casting attributes drawn from the same fields as member and material search, choose appointment times, and publish when ready. Combine play, author, age, gender, appearance, skills, experience, location, and time filters to find suitable roles. Performers book available times; organizers can search their own or shared postings.

Open auditions

Bring your creative community together

Find Companies in the Edit My Profile sidebar under My Account. Create or join theatre companies, film groups, and other production communities and share projects, member boards, or audition data with individual members or several companies. My Companies lists groups you own or manage; Shared with me lists groups you joined. Start with view access, grant supported editing permissions, and remove access when a collaboration ends.

Your profile, your audience

Directory discovery and public profile links are separate opt-in choices in My Account → Account Settings. A public profile can be viewed without signing in. Members can select additional headshots in My Account; the gallery shares only those choices and the primary photo. Credits switch between Grid and List, with production-type and style filters plus temporary sorting. Profile order follows the member’s saved credit order; filtering does not change their introductory information or saved experience. Production, role, company, and director remain distinct, with optional square pictures; click a picture to inspect the shared crop, and click outside its frame or press Escape to close. Original credit photos stay private. Optional pronouns use only the member’s saved choices. Direct profile links load the actor’s name as the page heading, without directory or editing banners. Preview the saved public view before enabling it. Account email, résumé files, unselected headshots, credit and training years, credit notes, and identity evidence are kept out of public responses.

Turning public access off closes current and earlier public links. Information someone already copied cannot be recalled. Casts stay private unless explicitly shared; audition drafts stay within their authorized team.

Review visibility choices

Community safeguards with human review

Use Report a community concern on a profile or project to ask staff to review inappropriate content or an interaction. Members can follow requests, see account-action reasons, and ask for a review. Staff use a separate Admin area for permitted reviews. The owner assigns Member, Support, Moderator, or Administrator permissions there; company roles and sharing access stay separate. Reports alone do not suspend an account.

Optional identity confirmation uses professional references or direct confirmation reviewed by authorized staff. The badge describes identity review only. It does not verify every credit, guarantee conduct, endorse a member, or grant staff permissions.

Community & identity

The history behind a credit

Open Productions from the Edit My Profile sidebar in My Account to see stagings linked to your credits or participation claims, or browse shared history. Unlink a personal credit or withdraw a claim without deleting the shared production. Projects remains for planning future work. Public production history connects particular stagings to people, organizations, and underlying Material. New productions require City, Year, Director, and Company before publication, or an explicit explanation that a field is unknown or not applicable. Save unfinished work as a private production draft in My productions. Companies remain separate from venues; multiple directors and producing companies are supported. Directors use the same contributor credits as the rest of the team. Production pages group recorded participants into Cast, Creative Team, and Production Crew, with custom roles available and corrections attached to each credit. Historical people and organizations exist independently of accounts and company workspaces. Members contribute sources and corrections; staff steward identity links, disputes, and duplicates. Add a production credit with the person’s name and production role; performing roles also offer a character name. Role choices use the profile opportunity categories, with your interests first. Linked plays display their recorded characters as opportunities to add participants, without treating unfilled characters as historical credits. A claimed credit can be featured on a personal profile without giving its claimant ownership of the shared history. Peer confirmations identify who confirmed participation or a role and can be withdrawn; connections never verify credits or grant private access.

A catalog informed by performers

Read independently sourced public-domain speeches from Shakespeare, Wilde, Chekhov, Ibsen, and Molière. Each imported passage links to its edition and credits its translator where applicable. Source wording, verse lines, and paragraph breaks are preserved; uncertain identities and overlapping entries stay out of new imports.

Normal résumé imports, saved theatre credits, and eligible production projects automatically queue new or uncertain plays and named characters for the shared Material catalog. The Add button follows the active Material tab: Add Monologue, Add Play, Add Author, Add Song, or Add Video. New identifying details wait for online source review and staff approval before appearing in Material. Candidates retain their source findings and staff decisions; failed or inconclusive checks stay in the review queue. Personal credits remain intact. Résumé files and private profile details stay private; unknown authors are never invented.

Material, Members, Auditions, Projects, and Companies share consistent title and subtitle spacing, section tabs, and a full-width Filters / Sort By / Grid / List toolbar. The search field sits inside the filter panel. Filters is on the left, applied filter tags sit beside it, and Sort By, Grid, and List are on the right. Sorting applies before pagination, and the browser remembers each account’s choice without putting it in the address. Sparse filtered searches may offer Continue to scan more authorized records. Alternating result backgrounds help separate cards and rows. Category counts stay visible while a search updates. Desktop filters sit beside results, with selections visible even when controls are hidden. Compact labeled groups, paired measurement ranges, and clear checkbox choices make the search forms easier to scan; results update as choices change. The toolbar stays above results even after the last filter is cleared. Selections are saved per account in the browser, keeping filter details out of shared page addresses. Character information stays connected to material details, audition roles, and cast plans.

Use the lightbulb button for Ideas & Reports. Share an idea or a problem, with a screenshot attached automatically when available. Capture preserves the visible page before the panel opens. Inspect the full attachment, retake it, or attach a device screenshot when browser capture has limitations. Screenshots show your authorized visible page, including profile and project details, and remain accessible only to you and the authorized report administrator.
