If you’re an actor living outside Europe, you might be wondering if enCAST, a platform mainly for actors and casting directors in Europe, can help you in any way. Let’s break it down to see if enCAST could be useful for you.

enCAST is famous for its many casting opportunities, but most of these are in Europe or meant for actors easily available in Europe. Casting directors usually prefer actors who can attend auditions and work in Europe, which can be tricky if you’re living elsewhere.

• It’s Free: You can join enCAST for free, so you can explore it without spending any money.
• Occasional Chances: Sometimes, there are opportunities for non-European actors. These could be when a production needs actors from different backgrounds or has specific casting needs.
• International Exposure: Being on enCAST lets you showcase your talent on a global platform. Directors and filmmakers from Europe and around the world might notice your profile.

• Fewer Opportunities: Keep in mind that there are fewer casting calls for non-European based actors compared to those available for actors based in Europe.
• Travel Costs: Casting directors usually expect actors to come for auditions and filming in Europe, and they typically won’t cover travel expenses for non-European actors.
• Competition: You’ll be competing with local actors who are closer to the production locations.

Your decision to join enCAST as a non-European actor should depend on your specific situation and career goals. It doesn’t hurt to create a profile and explore the platform, especially since it’s free. However, remember that success in acting often requires persistence and trying different avenues.

enCAST can be a useful way to show your talent to a wider audience and occasionally find interesting opportunities. Still, if you’re looking for regular acting work outside Europe, you might want to explore other casting platforms that cater more to your location and preferences.

In short, enCAST can be a helpful tool for actors living outside Europe, but it might not be the only solution if you want consistent work in the acting industry.
