How to Find Casting Calls in Toronto
The first step is making sure your casting profile is complete and current.
Step 1: Create or Update Your Project Casting Profile
Your profile should clearly show casting professionals who you are and what types of roles you may be suitable for.

Every casting call has different requirements.
Before applying, confirm that you meet the production’s:
- Age range
- Location requirements
- Filming dates
- Availability requirements
- Appearance requirements
- Experience requirements
- Union status
- Special skill requirements
Do not apply simply because a production is filming in Toronto.

A good self-tape setup includes:
- Clear lighting
- Clean audio
- A neutral background
- Stable camera placement

- Stay attentive

Stand-In and Photo Double Work
Toronto productions also regularly hire stand-ins and photo doubles.
Stand-ins
Stand-ins take an actor’s place while the camera, lighting, and technical departments prepare a scene.
Casting teams often look for someone who closely matches the actor’s:
- Height
- Build
- Hair colour

- Body type
- Hair
- Skin tone

Accurate measurements are especially important when applying for these roles.

- Streaming productions
- Voice-over projects

Commercial casting may seek:
- Actors
- Models
- Families
- Couples
- Athletes
- Professionals
- Seniors
- Children
- Real groups of friends
