Aspiring actors often face one big question:
“Where can I find real, paying, and legit acting jobs?”
At Project Casting, that’s the exact problem we’ve set out to solve. Whether you’re new to acting or building your resume, we connect talent with real-world opportunities from agencies, brands, and production companies across the country.
In October 2025, we had the chance to prove this once again when Bailey’s Entertainment Group, a respected talent agency based in Lake Mary, Florida, contacted us about a high-profile opportunity: a Disney video production filming at Disney Springs, inside Walt Disney World.
This is the story of how, in under 24 hours, we helped aspiring actress Samantha Vethencourt land the job—and how Project Casting continues to deliver on its promise of real jobs for real talent.
The Opportunity: A Disney Springs Production Needs Talent—Fast
Bailey’s Entertainment Group reached out with an urgent need. One of their major clients—Disney—was filming a commercial video project at Disney Springs. The shoot was just days away, and they needed on-camera talent who fit a very specific profile:
- Professional, camera-ready presence
- Family-friendly tone, aligned with Disney’s brand
- Local to Florida for logistical ease
- Ready to work quickly with zero delays
They turned to Project Casting not just to list the job—but to help recruit, curate, and deliver the right performer, fast.
The Project Casting Process: Built for Speed & Trust
We treat every opportunity as a partnership. Once Bailey’s submitted the role, our team jumped into action using our five-step success framework:
1. Clear, Legit Job Postings
We created a high-quality, fully detailed job listing that outlined:
- Role description
- Pay rate
- Usage rights
- Location & date
- Application instructions
The result? No confusion. No vague listings. Just a clear opportunity that serious actors could confidently apply to.
2. Targeted Talent Matching
We didn’t just rely on who happened to browse the site. Using filters and performance history, we sent out targeted notifications to talent who:
- Matched the look and skills required
- Had a history of fast response time
- Were located in Florida
- Had reels and headshots already uploaded
3. Curation, Not Clutter
From the dozens of qualified applicants, we shortlisted talent based on:
- Strength of their reels
- On-camera energy
- Availability
- Professionalism in communication
And at the top of that list? Samantha Vethencourt.
Meet Samantha: An Aspiring Actress Ready for Her Big Break
Samantha was new to the professional acting scene but had been putting in the work:
- She had completed training and local theater roles
- Her Project Casting profile was up to date with headshots and credits
- She applied immediately with a strong self-tape and short note tailored to the role
What stood out most was her responsiveness and readiness. Within hours of applying, Samantha had:
- Completed all onboarding paperwork
- Responded to agency communication
- Aligned with the schedule, tone, and vision of the shoot
Bailey’s saw what we saw—a rising talent who was camera-ready, coachable, and prepared.
She was booked that same day.
From Post to Production in 24 Hours
Here’s a quick look at the timeline:

- The environment was supportive, and the creative direction was clear.
- Most importantly, Samantha walked away with a credible brand credit, a paid role, and an experience that can help open even more doors in her career.
