The process is simple - our top voted members are submitted at the top of the list to the casting directors and producers we work with.

    • Is there a chance I could be the top voted and not get cast for an actual show?

      It is possible. Votes do not always guarantee a role, but they do always increase your visibility. Other factors, such as your ability to make yourself available and/or any misrepresentations made in your GotCast profile are weighed as well.

    • Do I lose votes if someone votes against me in feature castings?
      Not at all. We're all about positive energy here.
    • Hey! My vote count went backward, what's up with that?
      From time to time we find invalid votes on the system and must remove them. Invalid votes can come from plenty of sources, but in most cases it's someone trying to game the system in some way.

    • How do I contact other members?
      You may contact members through the FanMail service, which is a paid subscription service.Signup for FanMail here
    • How much does that cost?
      You can view the costs here
    • What happens to my message after I send it?
      We will send two copies to the recipient. One will go into their FanMail inbox on this site. The other will go to their registered email address letting them know your message was sent.
    • Can I view Member email addresses? Can someone get my email address?
      Nope. All member email addresses are protected on the system. A member may choose to provide their email address in the message itself, but we will never give out contact information.
    • What if someone doesn't respond to my message?
      We can't guarantee that someone will respond to any message, only that we will make the recipient aware that you've sent it. Obviously just sending a message doesn’t guarantee that the recipient will want to read it.
    • How do I cancel my FanMail subscription?
      Login to your Profile and click on "Cancel Subscription" under the "My Account" section on the right hand side of the page.
  • System Issues
    • I can't find my Profile when I search - what's up?
      All new profiles must be approved by our team manually before being available to the public. You may, however point people directly to your personal page. Your profile is there, it's just not available in the search until we approve it.

  • Audition Information and Safety
    • Why can't I post my personal contact information publicly?

    • I've been approached by someone on your site to represent or work with me - can I trust them?
      The short answer is simple - contact us first. We can work with you to determine if we are familiar with this individual or company. Also, if a Member has any negative history with our Member base, we can notify you accordingly.

      Generally we will only contact you through a phone call. If you are unsure at all, please contact our main number here. Don't take any chances with any suspicious calls.
  • Random Questions
    • Isn't this just a popularity contest?
      If by popularity you mean that the talent with the most appeal to our audience will win, then yes. But that's kind of how Hollywood works - the most engaging talent becomes the most sought after.
    • • Can I get picked even if I'm not at the top of the member list?
      Yes. Casting Directors and Agents may see a face that is not voted as one of the top members but still fits what they are searching for. You may also be contacted by other industry professionals through our service while they're browsing our talent database.
    • I'm a Talent Agent or Casting Director and I see someone I'd like to cast - now what?
      Please contact us directly We will be happy to help facilitate connections with established, well-known industry partners. You may also sign up and create an industry profile through our system and take advantage of our industry networking and project tools.
    • How is this different than Casting Calls I see on the Internet?
      Viewing a casting call only tells you who's hiring. It doesn't get you any closer to the actual job. The problem isn't finding a casting call; it's actually getting cast for a part. We’re here to get you in front of the people that make those decisions.
