Cast from proof, not a pile of reels.

Ranked on certified craft — defensible to any producer
The problem with reels

A great reel proves a great edit.

You are paid to read real ability — but everything you receive is pre-selected, pre-lit and self-described. The signal you actually need is buried.

!

Polish is not proof

A flattering self-tape and a self-claimed credit tell you what a candidate wants you to see — not whether the craft holds up across tone, range and emotional truth.

!

Shortlisting eats your week

Hundreds of submissions, no reliable filter. You spend hours getting to the handful worth a callback, time you would rather spend on the work itself.

!

Credits you cannot check

"Trained at" and "appeared in" mean nothing you can confirm. When a producer questions your shortlist, gut feeling is the only thing backing it up.

Compare, do not guess

Two candidates, side by side.

Put your top contenders head to head on the same four dimensions of craft. The certified candidate brings coach-validated, verifiable proof; the self-claimed one brings only their word.

Same sides, same four dimensions, same scale — the only honest way to compare. Certified candidates are weighted higher because their scores are coach-validated, not self-reported.

Read the craft, not the edit

Every score breaks down into four dimensions.

No single opaque number, no black box. Each candidate is read across tone, expression, body language and emotional delivery — the same craft you assess in the room — so a shortlist is something you can stand behind, line by line.

  • Tone — control, pitch and vocal intention
  • Expression — facial and gestural range
  • Body language — physical presence and stillness
  • Emotional delivery — truth and depth of the moment

Certified skills are reviewed by a real acting coach and weighted above self-claimed ones — so the ranking rewards proof, not presentation.

Verify before you invite

One click confirms it is real.

Every certified skill carries a unique credential code anyone can check on a public page — no login, no account, no calling a studio to confirm a class. Confirm the skill, level and issue date before you spend a single slot in the room. When a producer asks why someone made the cut, the proof is a link away.

Defend the shortlist

From a ranked list to a final cast.

Move candidates through a single pipeline, keep your reasoning attached to every name, and bring producers and directors into the same view — so the decision is shared, documented and easy to stand behind.

A shortlist with reasoning

Move candidates through review, shortlist, callback and select. Pin notes to each name — the score that swayed you, the moment that did not land — so your shortlist carries its own justification.

Producers in the same view

Invite producers, directors and assistants onto the role. Everyone sees the same scores, credentials and notes — alignment happens in one place instead of across a thread of forwarded reels.

Certified vs self-claimed, always visible

We never hide who has proof. Coach-validated credentials stay visually distinct from self-claimed ones at every stage — so a candidate without a verifiable badge never quietly slips up the list.

Request self-tapes in-line

Want to see a specific scene before you commit a callback slot? Request a self-tape from any candidate without leaving the pipeline, and let it land scored, beside everything else you are weighing.

Re-ranks as new tapes arrive

Late submissions do not break your process. New applicants are scored on the same scale and slotted into the ranking automatically — your shortlist stays current without a manual re-read.

A record that holds up

Every credential is publicly verifiable and every decision is logged with its reasoning. If a casting choice is ever questioned, you have an audit trail of proof instead of a memory of a reel.

Casting director questions

The AI gives a consistent first read across tone, expression, body language and emotional delivery — the same four dimensions you assess in the room. It does not replace your judgement; it triages hundreds of tapes down to the few worth your full attention. And the part you stake a decision on — the certification — is signed off by a real acting coach, not the model.

A certified skill has been reviewed and validated by a qualified acting coach, not self-asserted by the actor. Each certification carries a unique credential code anyone can verify on a public page — so you can confirm the skill, level and issue date before you ever invite the candidate in.

Every candidate carries a transparent four-dimension breakdown and, where certified, a publicly verifiable credential. You can show the scores behind the ranking, the notes behind each decision and a verification link for every credential — a documented case, not a gut call.

Yes — that is the heart of it. Put your contenders side by side on the same sides, the same four dimensions and the same scale. Certified, coach-validated candidates are weighted above self-claimed ones, so the comparison rewards proof rather than presentation.

Registration is open and free — no card required to sign up and explore. You can create casting calls, review AI-ranked candidates and verify credentials right away. Paid plans for high-volume casting are introduced separately, always with the price shown up front.
