FAQs

General Profile Questions

How do I access my profile?

If you have not yet accessed your online profile, log in to Central Casting and select "Create new login." Once you have created your login, return to the login page and enter your details to access your profile.

How do I update my contact information?

You can update your phone number and address in the “Contact Information” section of your profile.

To update your email address, please contact support at 855.500.2055 or helpme@centralcasting.com.

How do I change my account settings?

To change your account settings, log in and click the triangle in the upper right desktop menu or at the bottom of the mobile menu, then click “Account Settings”.

How do I update my measurements?

Current and accurate sizes and measurements are key to finding work. You can update your sizes and measurements in the “Appearance” section of your profile.

To learn more about taking accurate measurements, see our video guides under Talent Resources.

How do I update my main profile photos?

To update your main profile photos, navigate to the Photographs section of your profile. Upload your new photo and select the slot you wish to assign it to (note: if you already have a photo in the desired slot, you will need to delete that photo or reallocate it before you can allocate a new photo to that slot).

Please note, depending on what state you signed up in, you might not be able to change the headshot and full-body shot you uploaded as part of the sign-up process. Instead, casting directors recommend that you update the Artist Choice slots with photos of your current look. Rest assured that casting directors look at all the photos in your profile to determine if you’re right for a role.

Why won’t my photo upload to my profile?

Please check that your photo is in .jpeg or .png format. Our platform does not accept photos in other formats, like .pdf.

Do I need professional photos?

No – professional headshots cannot be used to consider you for background work as they are often retouched and edited. For more information, see our photo guidelines.

What should I wear in my photos?

While we understand that personal expression and artistic expression are important, we encourage you to infuse your personal style while dressing in a professional manner that you would like to be seen by casting directors, production staff and other industry professionals.

Casting directors recommend neutral, form-fitting clothing and minimal makeup so that they can get a true sense of what you look like. Please avoid wearing white, as well as sunglasses, hats and other obstructive accessories.

Please also ensure that you wear clothes that cover your torso and chest in your headshot and full-body shot. Additional photos, including bathing suit images, can be uploaded to your profile once approved.

For more information, see our photo guidelines.

How many photos can I add to my profile?

Quality over quantity is key when adding photos to your online profile, as too many photos clutters your profile and makes it harder for casting directors to find the photos that help determine if you can portray the role they’re booking.

Casting directors recommend a current casual, business and formal look, then 1-2 photos of unique looks, like a uniform you own or a period role you can portray.

Keep in mind, these photos should always reflect your current look and be unedited/unfiltered. Professional headshots cannot be used to consider you for background work as they are often retouched and edited.

How do I delete photos from my profile?

To delete a photo, navigate to the “Photographs” section of your profile. Find the photo you wish to delete and click the trash icon underneath it.

Please note, depending on what state you signed up in, you may not be able to delete photos that you uploaded during the sign-up process. Instead, casting directors recommend that you update the Artist Choice slots with photos of your current look. Rest assured that casting directors look at all the photos in your profile to determine if you’re right for a role.

How do I update my union status?

The union field on your profile is locked as our team needs to verify this information. To change your union status, please complete our online form.

How do I update my minor’s permit?

To update your minor’s permit, please complete our Minor’s Permit Update form.

Can I upload a stand-in resume to my profile?

Yes, in the “Casting Information” section of your profile, there is an upload feature where you can add your stand-in resume.

Can I add vehicles to my profile?

Yes, you can add vehicles that you own and are willing to work with in the “Vehicles You Own” section of your profile. Be sure to include as much information as you can, including vehicle type, make, model, color, and year. We will continue to add vehicle options to our system; if you don’t see information that matches your car, include what you can and check back for updates.

I’ve completed the anti-harassment training. How do I update my profile?

If you are required to take anti-harassment training, once you have completed the course, your Central Casting profile will be updated within 24 hours to mark your training as complete. You will not receive a certificate of completion or a confirmation email.

After 48 hours, if your online profile does not reflect that your training is complete, please fill out our Update Request Form.

Did the changes I made to my profile save?

Changes you make to your profile save automatically. Once you update information, the field will highlight in blue, indicating the information has been accepted and saved. If there’s an error, the field will highlight red and give a warning message.

How can I transfer from one Central Casting office to another?

If you are currently registered with Central Casting, but would like to work in a different location, please complete our Office Transfer Request Form. Please note: you can only be registered with one office at a time.
