FAQ

Can you represent me as an actor?

This simple answer is no. Our job is to liaise with agents to cast actors for the production companies, directors and producers we work for, however we do not represent actors. We love working with actors.

Do you run Classes?

We do! We have Online Courses available to do better in your auditions and upskill your work. We also have amazing in person acting classes in Brisbane.

What is your Returns Policy?

Online Courses:

Refunds/Credits on online courses are entirely at the discretion of Rasmussen Casting.

You will be eligible for a refund of fees paid ONLY if you cancel within the 48 hour money back guarantee period after purchasing. PLEASE NOTE an administration processing fee of $50 will be deducted from your refund to cover our expenses.

In-Person Courses:

Due to the small class sizes and individual attention for this course, change of mind refunds are not available after the 48 hour cooling off period. Please ensure you can commit to the whole course before you enrol.

Can you recommend an agent?

We don’t recommend agents. You can contact the MEAA for a list of agents for each state in Australia. Also, if you are on the hunt for an agent please consider Career Supercharge to learn a great process to find the agent that is right for you.

Can I send you my headshot, reel and bio?

Yes please. Email to [email protected]

Is it essential to be on Showcast and Casting Networks?

Absolutely. We use these systems everyday to communicate with agents and with our clients. We use it for organising auditions. If you aren’t on there you most likely will be overlooked as it makes our job many times harder trying to present you.

It is also extremely important to be on any databases your agent has asked you to be on. They won’t be able to help if you don’t.

Actors are at a disadvantage if you do not have a presence on these sites or if your profile is not up-to-date and well populated with photos and your work. Think of these sites as your professional resume and please make sure you have a showreel or a few self-tapes on there so we can see you in action.

If you're not a member you can sign up here: Showcast / Casting Networks.

Can I check the progress of my audition submission?

Due to the high volume of submissions we receive we do not have the capacity to respond to unsuccessful auditions. We encourage you to sign up for our email list Here to make sure you're the first to hear our news.

Make sure you are following us on Facebook and Instagram for future casting calls.

How do I record a self-test?

All of our audition briefs include specific instructions attached so please read them carefully. Different casting directors will have different instructions so please do take the time to read. And of course - read the script!

If you are looking to hone your self test technique please look into our current courses. I highly recommend Audition Academy for actors looking to hone their self-test and audition skills.

What is a slate?

A ‘slate’, ‘ident’ ‘ID’ or ‘chat to camera’ is a short video at the end of your self-tape where you detail your: name, height, age (if under 18), location, show side profiles and a long shot.

I want to be an actor, where do I get started?

There are many avenues to gaining experience - from drama school, workshops, courses, masterclasses etc. Please look into our classes Here.

Are you doing go-sees at the moment?

We don’t do go-sees, but we are more than happy to receive a link to your Showcast or Casting Networks profile.

How do I become an extra?

Join an extras agency – find the lists on the MEAA website for a list of extras agents in each state.

Do you consider freelance actors?

Yes! Make sure your Showcast and Casting Networks profiles are up-to-date.

Do you accept work experience/internship applications?
