Terrible- don't use
This site is not worth it. Signed up- could not set up alerts- never got anything from them. Tried to cancel and the e-mail they said to send it to is undeliverable. NO phone number listed on their web site. Looks like a total scam to me.

Rude Customer Service
Called "Haley" and she hung up on me. Rude and had no time for me. Put me on a needless hold. Hung up without a word of thanks for calling or any concern. Complete lack of empathy or care. Worst call to a customer service center ever.

New submission policy?
Has Casting Networks recently introduced a new policy requiring payment for “premium services” in order to submit for roles? I seem to remember a “pay as you submit” policy. My success (or lack thereof) with CN in no way justifies a monthly fee! Performers are both optimistic and desperate at the same time. Companies like are shamelessly unethical in the way they take advantage and milk money from actors who can ill afford it. I have supported myself as an actor and my agents use this site and Actor’s Access (good site) to communicate info re.: auditions. But asking me to commit to ten dollars a month for the occasionanal submission is an insult.

I Love Casting Networks (NY)
Casting Networks has been amazing. I come from a non acting background, but I am an artist. I have gotten so many amazing jobs off the site. Since we are freelancers you get out of it what you put into it. I search posts daily and I get booked about 3 times a week. Ive even done a few game shows and commercials. They have been great to me.

Good quality
I totally agree. I have stopped using casting networks for this reason. My only association is if my agent uses them.
I had the same experience. I do voiceover only and to pay a monthly fee is ridiculous when there aren't enough auditions listed to substantiate that. Bring back the 99 cents per submission!
