In today’s fast-moving production world, casting needs to be efficient, flexible, and far-reaching. Fishpond gives casting directors the tools to discover, audition, and cast the right actors quickly — all in one place. Whether you’re casting for film, TV, theatre, commercials, or voice-over work, Fishpond connects you with Ireland’s most comprehensive pool of professional and emerging talent.
1. Post a Casting Brief in Minutes
Once registered (free for casters) you can create a casting brief tailored to your project, specifying the role, requirements, and how you’d like actors to audition. You control who sees the job: send it to the full Fishpond community, a select group of actors, or specific agents. Clear briefs attract strong submissions and save valuable time.
2. Search and Filter Ireland’s Talent Database
Need a specific age range, skill set, or look? Fishpond’s searchable database makes it simple. Casting directors can filter by age, gender, location, skills, and more, then view detailed actor profiles complete with headshots, CVs, and showreels — everything you need to make an informed first impression.
3. Streamlined Self-Tapes with AuditionCam® and AuditionMic®
Fishpond’s exclusive tools — AuditionCam® for on-camera auditions and AuditionMic® for voice work — make remote auditions seamless. Actors can record self-tapes directly from their phones, and their clips upload straight to your dashboard. You can review, rate, and organise auditions from anywhere, sharing select clips easily with colleagues or clients.
4. Shortlist, Share, and Collaborate
Your dashboard lets you manage every step of the casting process. Create shortlists, add private notes, and share selected auditions securely. Collaborators can view clips without needing full Fishpond access, keeping everything organised and confidential.
