Toronto Casting Calls: How to Audition for Movies, TV Shows, Commercials, and More
Overview
Toronto is one of Canada’s largest film and television production hubs, creating opportunities for actors, background performers, models, stand-ins, photo doubles, voice actors, and specialty talent.
Productions filming in Toronto and across the Greater Toronto Area regularly look for performers for feature films, television series, streaming projects, commercials, independent films, music videos, and branded content.
Whether you are an experienced actor or just beginning your career, Toronto offers a wide range of opportunities to gain professional experience and build your résumé.
Toronto Casting Opportunities
Casting calls in Toronto can include opportunities for both union and non-union performers.
Common roles include:
- Principal actors
- Supporting actors
- Background actors
- Featured extras
- Stand-ins
- Photo doubles
- Models
- Voice actors
- Child actors
- Teen performers
- Seniors
- Dancers
- Musicians
- Athletes
- Specialty performers
Casting needs vary from production to production, so actors should regularly monitor new opportunities and apply for roles that match their age range, appearance, experience, skills, and availability.
Who Can Apply?
Toronto casting calls can be open to performers of all experience levels.
Some productions specifically seek experienced actors with professional credits, while others welcome newcomers for background work, commercials, student films, independent productions, and specialty roles.
You may be a strong candidate if you have:
- Acting or performance experience
- Professional headshots
- A current acting résumé
- Background acting experience
- Stand-in or photo double experience
- Strong self-tape skills
- Athletic abilities
- Dance or musical training
- Unique skills or talents
- Reliable transportation
- Flexible availability
- Professional on-set behaviour
Even if you are new to the industry, smaller productions and background roles can provide valuable experience working on a professional set.
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.
Include:
- A recent headshot
- A current full-body photo
- Your playable age range
- Height and measurements
- Toronto or GTA location
- Acting experience
- Film and television credits
- Background acting experience
- Special skills
- Languages
- Accents
- Athletic abilities
- Union status, when applicable
- Current contact information
- Availability
Your photos should accurately represent how you look today.
Avoid heavily edited images, filters, sunglasses, hats, or group photos unless a casting notice specifically requests them.
Step 2: Search for Toronto Casting Calls
Once your profile is ready, regularly search for new opportunities.
Useful search terms include:
- Toronto casting calls
- Toronto acting auditions
- Ontario casting calls
- GTA casting calls
- Toronto background actors
- Toronto extras
- Toronto film auditions
- Toronto TV auditions
- Toronto commercial casting
- Toronto child actor auditions
- Toronto stand-in casting
- Toronto photo double casting
- Toronto modeling jobs
- Canada casting calls
Casting opportunities can appear quickly and may only accept submissions for a limited time.
Applying early can help ensure your profile is reviewed before casting closes.
Step 3: Read the Casting Notice Carefully
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.
Casting teams receive large numbers of submissions, so applying only when you genuinely match the role can improve the quality of your applications.
Step 4: Submit the Right Materials
Casting directors may request different materials depending on the role.
You may need to submit:
- Headshots
- Current snapshots
- Full-body photos
- Acting résumé
- Demo reel
- Self-tape audition
- Slate video
- Contact information
- Height and measurements
- Clothing sizes
- Availability
- Special skills
- Work experience
- Driver’s licence information
- Vehicle information
- Union status
Always follow the casting instructions exactly.
If casting requests a specific photo, video format, subject line, or file name, make sure your submission matches those requirements.
Step 5: Prepare for Self-Tape Auditions
Self-tapes are an important part of modern casting.
Toronto actors should have a simple setup that allows them to submit auditions quickly.
A good self-tape setup includes:
- Clear lighting
- Clean audio
- A neutral background
- Stable camera placement
- Proper framing
- An off-camera reader when required
- Minimal distractions
- Natural performance choices
You do not need expensive equipment.
Casting directors primarily need to clearly see your face, hear your performance, and evaluate your acting choices.
Step 6: Be Professional If You Are Booked
Getting booked is only part of building a successful acting career.
Professionalism on set can affect whether casting teams consider you again.
Performers should be prepared to:
- Arrive on time
- Follow production instructions
- Bring required identification
- Maintain wardrobe continuity
- Stay attentive
- Avoid disrupting filming
- Respect cast and crew
- Remain available for the full booking period
- Respond promptly to production messages
Film and television days can be long, particularly for background performers.
Be prepared for early call times, waiting periods, repeated takes, and changing schedules.
Toronto Background Acting Opportunities
Background acting is one of the most common entry points into Toronto’s film and television industry.
Background performers help create realistic environments for scenes set in:

- Nightclubs
- Sporting events
- Neighborhoods
- Stores
- Courtrooms
- Streets
- Public transit
- Parties

Productions may also search for people with specific vehicles, uniforms, professional experience, athletic abilities, or unique appearances.
Background work can help new performers understand how professional sets operate before pursuing larger acting roles.
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
- Skin tone
Stand-ins may work multiple days or even throughout an entire production.
Photo Doubles
Photo doubles are used when a performer needs to resemble an actor for shots where the actor’s face is not clearly visible.
Matching characteristics may include:
- Height
- Weight
- Body type
- Hair
- Skin tone
- Clothing sizes
- Hand or foot size
Accurate measurements are especially important when applying for these roles.
Opportunities for Child and Teen Actors
Toronto is also a major market for young performers.
Children and teenagers may find opportunities in:
- Television series
- Feature films
- Commercials
- Streaming productions
- Voice-over projects
- Educational content
- Independent films
- Background roles
Parents or guardians should carefully review all casting requirements, filming dates, and production details before submitting a young performer.
Keeping current photos and accurate height measurements is especially important because children can change quickly.
Toronto Commercial Casting
Commercials can be another strong opportunity for Toronto performers.
Commercial casting may seek:
- Actors
- Models
- Families
- Couples
- Athletes
- Professionals
- Seniors
- Children
- Real groups of friends
- People with specific hobbies or occupations
Some commercial campaigns look for professional actors, while others specifically want people with little or no acting experience.
Always check the usage terms, compensation, dates, and exclusivity requirements listed in the casting notice.
Specialty Casting in Toronto
Not every casting opportunity requires traditional acting experience.
Productions frequently search for people with real-world abilities.
Specialty casting may include:

- Hockey players
- Soccer players
- Swimmers
- Martial artists
- Dancers
- Musicians
- Singers
- Drivers
- Chefs
- Medical professionals
- Tradespeople
- Fitness professionals
