Rehearsal between classes
Scene Partner puts a student opposite another performer for self-tape reads, cold reads or scene study. Remote by default, in person if both of them want it, and free with a profile.
Partner with CastMe
The work should not stop when class does.
CastMe is free for performers, and we would like to build the next part of it with the people who teach them. Schools and training providers first, with agencies, productions and festivals very welcome too.
CastMe is independent. Listings and editorial mentions do not imply endorsement unless a partnership is explicitly agreed.
For schools and training providers
Your students already have the teaching. This is the bit in between.
Most of what a performer needs happens in your room. What happens on the other five days is usually where the momentum goes, and that is the part we are trying to help with.
Materials that travel
A Showcase link students own and keep long after they graduate. Clips, credits and contact in one place, rather than files scattered across drives and inboxes.
Safeguarding built in
Nobody reaches a member until that member accepts. Accounts start at 16, under-18 members are only ever matched with other under-18 members, and moderation removes people from matching entirely.
Ways to work together
Start small, and only keep going if it is actually useful.
We would rather earn the next conversation than ask for a commitment up front. Any of these is a fine place to begin.
Tell us what your students need
The most useful thing you can give us is an honest account of where your graduates struggle. We would far rather build toward that than guess at it.
Keep your listing right
Send corrections, current application details, course notes or the submission rules you would like performers to read before they contact you.
Share something useful
An open day, a workshop, an application checklist or a safety note can become a resource performers actually use, credited to you.
Not a school?
The door is open either way.
The same principles apply. Useful to performers first, honest about what a listing can and cannot do, and no relationship described as a partnership unless both sides have agreed that word.
Agencies
Performers arrive with clearer materials and more realistic expectations, which tends to mean fewer of the applications you were never going to say yes to.
Productions and casting
Post a call directly, keep the brief accurate, and reach people who have been rehearsing rather than refreshing a feed.
Festivals, offices and funders
Open calls, bursaries, labs and deadlines reach performers who are looking for exactly that, through the Industry Hub.
Come and talk to us.
Tell us who you are, what you teach or cast, and what would genuinely help the people you work with. A short email is plenty to start.
What we will never do
