Download to try for free Download and create a profile to claim your free submission. Testimonials I recently booked lead roles in two different feature films. Using Castability for the last 6 months, every time I get a new audition, I feel empowered to take more risks and my tapes feel more alive. -Jamie H I was able to tell reps that these (winning scenes) are real results of how casting sees me. Once I made that switch, I garnered more responses, and ultimately signed with a rep last week who I am so excited to work with. -Taylor K I was hesitant to buy with everything I have on my plate right now... but it's actually giving me a tremendous sense of relief. There is no fail with Castability, there's only learn and grow. It is helping me find the courage to be fearless. -Joseph K.

Members receive updated data reports averaging your current stats every month to track your progress. HOW AM I SCORED? After every submission actors are emailed their challenge report. Casting uses five quality metrics to illuminate to actors where they fell in the casting matrix. Curation begins in batches of 5 with each actor receiving a 1 to 5 ranking (5 being the highest in that group). The winners of those batches then will compete in “callback” rounds until the final winner is chosen. Over time, these accrued opinions from casting start to illustrate reliable trends. We believe that this transparency empowers actors to progress faster and be uniquely equipped when real auditions come around.

  • Why data | The Castability App

    Why Actor Data? Jade submitted to Castability consistently for 6 months and it changed the trajectory of her career. The data gave her insights on to how she was perceived by casting, what roles she was more likely to get cast in, what genres she should focus on, what headshots she needed, and what classes to take. Here is her story: One Actor’s Case Study of How Consistent Data Collection Can Provide Answers in Our Acting Careers. Jade found out her strongest type was in the Rebel archetype: Headshot decisions Jade took that actionable data and got headshots that exemplified the type casting consistently scored her highest in (The Rebel) so she would be better pitched for the roles she is truly right for. Confidence. Jade scored incredibly well in Dramatic scenes which gave her newfound confidence in her dramatic auditions. Jade scored highest specifically in TV Procedurals and Action scenes . She now knows what shows to research, watch, and target. Where to improve. Jade found out she struggled in Comedy. She had always thought of herself as funny, what was it that was holding her back? Learning from the Winners Gallery. She continued to watch all the winning comedy videos in the Winners Gallery and learned from who casting chose to win. Access to the "booking tape" accelerated her growth and understanding of what casting is looking for. Jade then enrolled in an improv class and embraced her comedic side. Over the next few months, she could actually see her Comedy scores rise which validated that her training was getting her results. It usually takes actors years to find out what casting responds to and where we best fit in this industry. With Castability, we can gather that data and track our growth in months. Combined with the power of deliberate practice, the sky is the limit. Learn more 6 months ago, Jade was frustrated from conflicting feedback from the industry and teachers, and did not know how to move forward. She now understands her type and strengths and submits for roles that are right for her. She knows where she can improve and is actively tracking her growth alongside her consistent on camera practice. She has now gathered undeniable data to move her career forward. Numbers don’t lie.

  • FAQ/Support | The Castability App

    FAQ/Support Questions? Check out our FAQ below or email admin Email Admin Where do I find the scenes and password? All scheduled scenes are released in app every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at noon pst. If you desire to prep ahead, each week's pdfs are also published on our website's scene calendar and linked in our scene drop emails every Monday. Be sure to check your spam if you are not receiving Castability emails. The password to access the pdfs changes each month and is distributed via the first scene drop email of the month. You are automatically signed up for these emails by downloading the app and creating a profile. Why don’t I see future scenes on the app? Scenes are only in the app when they are currently live. Scenes go live Mon, Weds, Fri at 12pm PST and stay live for 60 hours each. What should I submit for? All Castability scenes are labelled by archetype and genre alone allowing all actors to participate in any scene they resonate with. Castability tracks how each actor performs in different archetypes across different genres. As Castability Curators are not casting real roles, every actor can be seen for every scene and any actor of any age/ethnicity/gender can win. Data is then collected on your archetypal fits and genres to see which caters to an actor's various strengths. What are credits and why don't I see them in my account yet? Credits allow you to submit a scene in- app. Please allow 24 hours of the next work day for membership credits to be added into your account and to receive your first email from us. If it has exceeded 24 hours please check your Spam and Promotions folders to see if the email is there. If it’s not, feel free to email admin . When do I get my feedback? Scores are expected to be sent to you via email roughly a week after the challenge officially closes. As we only use busy working casting professionals, please keep in mind that the scores sometimes are earlier or later depending on the casting curator's schedule. Who ranks me? We have a rotating list casting curators growing in number and variety (countries, and regional markets) as Castability expands. The curators are compensated for their work. These curators work based on their availability and are rotated for variety in scoring habits. Exactly which curator scored you is kept anonymous so that the focus is on your work and growth as opposed to networking. These are all active casting professionals who meet the below standards: Currently employed in a Director or Associate level position by a studio, network, or production company. Or a minimum of 100 weeks in the last 5 years as an on-line Casting Director or Associate Casting Director casting principal roles in Film, Television, or Theatre. What is difference between ranking and scoring? The challenge reports you receive from casting are not typical scores instead we use forced ranking. You are ranked in 1st place to last place within a batch of 5 of your peers, 5 being 1st place and 1 being last place. That means a 1 does not mean "bad" and a 5 does not mean "good." Keep in mind these are rankings and not independent scores. Progressing to the next round in your challenge report means you made it to a "callback" round and are then ranked with all the other actors who won their first batch. Each round gets more and more competitive until a winner is chosen. Where do I login on the website? There is no place to login on the website, you can only login on our app. Our website is only used for purchases, the scene calendar, support, general information, and the Castability List. Where can I see who won each challenge? All winners are featured in the Winner’s Gallery on the Castability app which is free to download and create a profile. Watching peers work is an essential part of learning how casting thinks and improving your craft. I uploaded the wrong take or character! Reading the directions carefully is an essential practice in any audition. If you submit for the wrong character casting will treat it the same as in any audition and will be unable to consider you for the part. Trouble uploading or experiencing technical difficulties. Delete the app, re-download it, and try again. If you run into the same problem, email us. Email us at least 12 hours before the sequence or challenge closes so we can guarantee tech support in time. We are unable to reopen a challenge after it has closed. In-App reader issues Casting will not take in-app readers into account while scoring. The technology is still in beta and it is best to practice with it before you submit. For best audio balance make the volume of the in-app reader as low as you can. I don't like my score. To understand data collection you must understand that one set of data points means nothing in isolation. Accumulating data over time is the only way to draw reliable conclusions. Would you take one person's opinion as fact? We ask that you only start to notice trends after 8-10 challenges with accumulated decisions from casting over time. The app can get a very large number of submissions and actors are often batched randomly in highly competitive batches, sometimes making very difficult ranking decisions for our casting team when everyone is great. If 5 of these actresses were randomly put together in a Castability batch, you would have a hard time ranking them too! Another reason to not take any one score too heavily. If you prefer to focus on your craft and receiving this information from casting does not suit where you are in right now, consider opting out of receiving Castability Reports by emailing admin. If you are open to collecting data long term, we hope that this previously withheld information will empower you as an actor, which as an actor run company, is our only goal. How can I delete my account and profile? Your account can be deleted by sending an email to admin@castability.actor How do I pause or cancel my membership? You can reach out anytime for a requested pause. You are allowed one pause a year up to 1 (one) Month then your membership will auto renew. If you instead wish to cancel your membership please reach out to admin 48 hours before your next billing cycle. The billing cycle begins the day you purchase. Any forever promo code is valid for as long as membership is active. If cancelled, promo will no longer be eligible. Are refunds available? Refunds of memberships are available within 24 hours of purchase before any credits have been used. Please note that after that period, members (including any free trials) must cancel before next billing date in order to not be charged for the next month. Not using your credits one month will not constitute a refund. All special offers including bulk 1 year or 6 month purchases will be non-refundable. Can I do this if I’m under 18? Unfortunately, no. At this time, Castability is only available to those 18 and over.

  • About us | The Castability App

    About Us Made By Actors, for Actors Creative industries are wrought with subjective opinions. With a deep commitment to providing a path to self discovery for every actor, and through data science, Castability has established a workflow that provides objective data giving creatives an ability to assess on many levels and make smart decisions to move careers forward. Welcome to our community. Our Story Over seven years, Castability was incubated from Jay Boyer's living room in LA to the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, collaborating with actors and casting directors at every step to test theories and build the system. "What we learned was that casting directors want to help actors. They don't want the mystery anymore than you do, so we figured out a way to align the incentives on both sides. Additionally, the increased responsibility in all industries to achieve real diversity, inclusion, and equity made us recognize that our app could not only bring greater opportunity to communities of color, but could also expose bias with data created by app users." Our Promise It’s not enough for the entertainment industry to speak against racism, misogyny, or discrimination based on disabilities. It is time to take specific action to level the playing field. Commitment to Diversity Castability was built to give every actor everywhere a path to discover their potential. This mission means: Our Casting Curators commit to evaluating actors based only on the constraints of the posted character description. If the role doesn’t require a certain race, gender or a particular physical ability, then the Casting Curator must not consider those limitations when evaluating. In order to honor the diverse voices in our community, we use scenes from a diverse pool of writers. We use our data analytics of casting habits to help expose hidden biases within our system and in the behavior of both our actors and casting professionals, and we share this data to the casting and acting communities to help improve the current system. We use our networks of casting professionals, agents and managers to help promote actors of diversity by including search options in our database that promote diverse options. We are committed to diversity in our staff. We are held accountable by a Committee of Diversity and Integrity that represents voices from a cross section of our community. We hold regular feedback sessions to give actors a platform to express concerns and suggest improvements to our system.
