TV COMMERCIAL CASTINGS
Whether you have been involved in commercial productions before and are eager to do more or want to dip your toes in for the first time, we have so many castings popping up all over the Tampa Bay, FL area there may be a role that is right for you.
Please note my Facebook account was deactivated in Nov 2025 due to a connected IG account that was hacked and penalized. I have had to start my social media all over so I do not have the following and history on it now that I had built over the past 10 years. So, in addition to following my new Facebook page I encourage you to sign up on the website newsletter so you get casting alerts and I have your email for the future vs being reliant on the whims of social media.

ATTACH CURRENT FULL LENGTH PHOTOS IN FITTED CASUAL WEAR OR BUSINESS ATTIRE - photos need to have been taken within the past 2 months, have NO filters or editing done to them. No sunglasses or hats.
Photos do not need to be taken by a professional, but you should still take stand alone photos of just you in natural/good light so photos are clear and high resolution.
DEADLINE JAN 27, 2025
What to Know:
You do not need to have professional acting or modeling experience to apply. Nor do you need to have expensive professional headshots.
What you do NEED is a professional demeanor, a quick response time, a positive attitude and excellent followthrough.
If you are new to production you should know this can be fast moving or it can be "hurry up and wait", so being flexible and understanding is the best way to come into this business and have longevity here.
PHOTOS:
-
Always send CURRENT photos, meaning, the same hair color and style and for men the same facial hair that you would show up to set with. If you wear wigs, change up your cut/color often, etc then make sure you are sending photos that represent the most current you.
-
Send one headshot smiling (show the pearly whites) - unless it is a "serious" roll you are casting for, please don't "tough - guy/ mean mug it"
-
Send 2-3 lifestyle full-length photos in different outfits, for example casual (jeans and t-shirt, athletic wear and business casual or date night attire)
PRO TIPS:
-
DO NOT send photos wearing sunglasses or hats.
-
DO NOT apply filters, skin touch ups/blurring or send monochromatic (black & white) photos.
-
Simple naturally lit photos that represent the fun but professional, day-to-day, put-together version of you are perfect.
-
We typically want to see you more natural and not over glammed up. This especially applies to children who are being submitted. Please do not send in pageant-style photos - we want kids to look like kids.
VIDEOS:
Not all roles will require speaking, but if you are applying for a speaking role you will need to do a self-taped audition. This is typically 30-60 seconds with your name, age, occupation, an answer or description of whatever topic the casting producer may request or something interesting about yourself.
PRO TIPS:
-
If your casting requires a video submission BE YOURSELF. Do not write a script and read from it, when possible or unless asked to read a specific script. We are looking for people who can speak from the heart and head as if talking to a friend (unless otherwise directed) not reading from a piece of paper.
-
Do NOT make your tape long-winded. We have a lot of people to get through and if we think you cannot be concise and respect people's time you may not get chosen.
