If you’re an actor looking to take your career to the next level, Fishpond is one Ireland’s leading casting platform — connecting you directly with professional opportunities in film, TV, theatre, commercials, and voice-over.
But Fishpond is more than just a casting site. It’s a supportive community designed to help you develop your craft, grow your confidence, and get noticed by the right people.
1. Create a Professional Acting Profile
When you join Fishpond, you’ll set up your actor profile — your professional portfolio for the industry. Upload your headshots, showreel, voice clips, and credits so casting directors can see your full potential at a glance.
Your profile is fully editable, so you can update credits, new skills, or fresh media anytime. A strong, current profile makes you stand out when casting directors search for new talent.
If you have an agent, you can add their details to your profile, so that any opportunities shared with you are also shared with them too.
2. Receive Real Casting Opportunities
Once your profile is live, you’ll receive casting calls that casters choose to share with you. You can apply directly through the platform — no endless searching or guessing where to find genuine roles.
Fishpond partners with leading casting directors, producers, and ad agencies across Ireland and internationally, so the opportunities you see are real and active.
3. Audition Anytime, Anywhere
With Fishpond’s exclusive audition tools — AuditionCam® and AuditionMic® — you can record self-tapes or voice auditions directly from your phone and send them securely to casting directors.
This means you can audition for projects anywhere in the country (or beyond) without needing to travel. It’s fast, professional, and the standard for today’s casting process.
4. Be Seen by Casting Directors
Even when you’re not applying for a specific role, casting professionals can still find you. Fishpond’s searchable actor database allows casting directors to discover talent by age, skills, or experience — so your next opportunity could come from a simple profile search.
Fishpond supports both represented and independent actors, helping everyone gain visibility in the same professional network.
5. More Than Casting — Ongoing Actor Support
At Fishpond.ie, we believe in nurturing talent, not just listing it. That’s why we offer ongoing support and development for all our actors, including:
Monthly Actor Challenges — fun, practical exercises to help you stay creative, build confidence, and keep your skills sharp between jobs.
Industry Talks & Q&A Sessions — hear directly from casting directors, agents, and working actors about how to succeed in today’s industry.
Showcases — opportunities to present your work and get your talent in front of real industry professionals.
Personal Support — we’re always just an email away for any questions, advice, or guidance. Whether you need feedback on your profile or help preparing for an audition, we’re here to help.
You’re never on your own at Fishpond — we’re here to help you grow.
6. Opportunities for Young Performers (Under 18)
Fishpond.ie also welcomes young actors under 18, giving them a safe, professional space to gain exposure and experience in the industry.
For child and teen actors, a parent or guardian manages the account on their behalf, ensuring all communication and applications are handled safely and responsibly.
This allows younger performers to build their profiles, gain experience, and be considered for suitable roles — while parents stay informed and in control throughout the process.
