Couldn't get in to my account and couldn't reach anyone in customer support
I couldn't get into my account and wasn't able to reach anyone at Cast It Talent to help me. They made me pay for membership to another service to get help and that was not acceptable. They need to help their own customers and not pawn us off on another service site.

Upload issues
this website is absurd. you cannot upload via the audition link. why are legitimate casting directors using this?

So hard to use!
Please make this easier for actors! It isn't user friendly to update, upload, sides won't open even with adobe reader and multiple browsers etc.
If it doesn't improve I hope casting considers just using actor's access.
We spend more time trying to figure out this glitchy system than we do filming. It's really really frustrating.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

BREAKDOWN OF ROLES@
No breakdowns of the roles. How does an actor know what role they are submitting for?
How the heck this site work? What is the success rate for actors on this site?

Terrible customer service
They won't answer the phone. They're probably hiding because they know how bad their service is. How are they still in business?!

I feel scammed
I am very upset. I thought this was a legitimate casting website when I saw Ryan Gosling in the ads.
I assumed he must be an owner or something. Anyway, their costs are pretty high to say they're new. It's $20/month, which is pretty high. I paid anyway because people were spreading news that certain networks would be casting from Cast it Talent this past pilot season.
So like any good actor, I listened and got the membership. Biggest waste of money. THERE ARE NEVER ANY SIDES. I have not come across one job that had sides available, completely defeating the purpose of using the site!
The ability to get sides and submit auditions using those sides was the SELLING point for Cast It Talent. That's what they push in their ads, and that's also why I bought in. If there are never sides available, then it's a scam.
I'n very disappointed and quite frustrated. False advertising, highly priced for lack of clients who post sides, and overall a poor resource for an actor.
- That its a scam

I figured something was wrong
I figured something was wrong when I was sent casting notices for male roles a d I'm a female. Thankfully I didn't join their membership.

Scam: Forced Payment
The site does not allow you to manage or cancel your subscriptions.
DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY WORK THERE?
I have attempted MULTIPLE times to contact Cast It Talent vie their online contact form, their Facebook page and through the FORGOT PASSWORD link...for well over a week. I missed an important audition upload because no one has ever gotten back with me.
I attempted to use the FORGOT PASSWORD link a dozen or more times. Each time I clicked on it...it created a pop up that let me know I would get a password reminder/reset via email. I NEVER GOT IT...and YES...I checked my SPAM. There is apparently no telephone number I could find.
I have tried and tried and tried to contact them...even tried to upgrade to their very expensive monthly fee...just so I could upload the audition I desperately needed to upload.
You can do anything at all without a password...and you can't get anyone to contact you to fix your password. VERY SUCKY!!!
Well you should have written your password down... so who's to blame? Certainly not a website.
Scam site, *beware*
On the face of it. you get the picture that this site is like Actors Access, however, despite the gazilions of casting notices, you never hear anything back and despite saying sides, there is never any sides to self tape.
Its really difficult in the 5 months that I have been a member to really think that this is anything other than a Scam site.
There is no customer feedback link, and no way to get in contact with anyone who administers the site, think to yourself, WHY IS THAT. To the people at Cast It Talent, you can fool the people some of the time but not all the time.

It probably is a scam site. You want to be an actor so bad and they knew it. Your fault for being an idiot.
Feedback Feature
I don't know who is giving this feedback but it's amazing that you can get feedback on a Sunday st 11pm from a "trusted professional" from MGM, the CW, etc. The feedback is usually sarcastic, unhelpful and seriously wuick turnaround.
Did these people work in Janitorial or in the canteen and picked up extra work on the side? Technically they would be employed there but are they qualified?? I now get feedback from my extremely knowledgeable manager.
Don't waste my money there anymore. *** business
I have also had an issue with their feedback being all over the place. I sent out the same reel and got back 3 different sets of feedback from the same Film Company. Most of the time I sent stuff it was either, really nice or really aggressive and not helpful or constructive.

Fake Casting Company that charges $90.00
The company charges you $90.00 a year and promises you if you get the premium membership you will have a better chance of being cast in a Hollywood movie which is a lie. The company will give you false promises that you will be cast into a movie but really they want to scam you so they can make the money.
The bottom line stay away from companies that want to charge you money that promise you movie parts in Hollywood Television Shows. The best way to figure out if the company is legit you should look at the bbb.org.
I for one dont pay anything for cast it. They cant possibly promise you fame.
I think the issue here is the thought that these casting sites will make you famous. That's a lie. You pay to get listings for actual auditions that you can submit yourself without having representation. You aren't paying 90$ to become famous.
Just yesterday I video submitted for an episodic my AGENT submitted me for. I did not have to pay a membership to upload my video through cast it talent. I think the problem is that people believe that it's that easy to become "famous". Its so much more than these acting sites.
How are your headshots? Is your video reel current? Have you taken acting lessons, attended workshops, actually have a resume with work you've done? Are you represented by agents and managers?
Do you know how to slate or audition? There is so much continuous work that goes into an actor or performer and 90$ is not it.
It is neverending and always learning and continuously reinventing yourself to become famous. So if you want to become famous get the work done and REALLY invest in acting lessons because the video you posted clearly shows you need to work on your craft but it's not through creating sites.

Well BooFookinWho. Get a real job and quit whining.
that's rude he's not whining
Yeah how is he whining, look at your username lmao
I have a basic membership and I don't pay anything. My agents submit me for roles here as well as other casting sites and it came with sides.
Just yesterday I video submitted for a role through here but my agent got me the sides through showfax. All these sites are kind of linked because I was submitted for the audition through actors access but I had to upload the video submission through cast it.
Oh and headshots of actors doesnt mean they own the sites but I am certain when they started they also had to be submitted through these sites. Maybe your representation should've told you which sites to actually pay for.
