The role of the Casting Director is to book auditions and hire performers (in most cases, through a performer’s Talent Agent). If you do not have a Talent Agent, it can be difficult to know what roles are available and when. Audition sessions happen so quickly ACTRA does not have an opportunity to post them – it’s up to you to find out about them either by keeping in contact with the Casting Directors or through your Talent Agent if you have one.

The Casting Directors listed below operate in CALGARY and EDMONTON. You can cross-reference this listing with the What’s Shooting list to discover which Casting Directors are currently casting for shows in Alberta.

Note: Performers should not be charged for courses conducted by Casting Directors on how to be a Background Performer or set etiquette as a condition of their employment.
