Casting for your video
Who appears in your video can make a big difference to how your message is received.
Sometimes your own people are the best choice, bringing authenticity, credibility and first-hand expertise. At other times, the production calls for professional talent: perhaps a presenter to deliver a script, an actor to bring a scenario to life, or the right voice for an animation.
We’ll help you decide what works best and, where professional talent is needed, source presenters, actors, models and voiceover artists to suit your brief, audience and budget.
With access to trusted agencies and freelancers across the UK, we can give you a range of options and help you find someone who feels right for your organisation and your message.
Getting casting right
Good casting starts with a good brief.
We’ll work with you to understand what the role requires – from age range, style and tone to any particular skills or experience.
We’ll approach our network of trusted agencies and freelancers, review showreels and self-tapes, shortlist candidates and arrange auditions where needed.
Once you’ve chosen the right person, we can take care of the details too – including fees, usage rights, wardrobe and hair and make-up – managing the whole casting process as part of your production.
