Vantage Casting is a scouting agency that is also a casting firm. We are hired by studios and producers (big and small) to discover talent and performers for their projects. We are paid a variety of ways from a flat-fee "head hunter fee" to royalty fee on the production. We take the risk up front of recruiting, casting and screen-testing talent at our expense to find the right performer for the client.We have also helped performers build their own brands and help them operate on subscriber based platforms, major content sites and in agreement with major studios.We get paid to find you, screen you, test you and recommend you.
Typically Vantage Casting does not "take on" performers or talent as represented clients. There are cases where this would happen and we have been successful with this type of arrangement in the past. We believe that performers and talent should retain as much of their earnings as possible.Vantage Casting can work with your current representation or Talent Agent. Vantage Casting can also recommend how and where to locate a Talent Agent or representation if a performer desires.

In many cases, our recommendation and approval can help open doors that may be more difficult to access independently.Most importantly, we work for the long-term success of the talent we cast, not simply filling roles. Our reputation depends on matching the right people with the right opportunities and helping both talent and productions have a positive experience.
