About this app

Actor App (actor.app) is an essential video and voice recording app that's built by industry professionals specifically for actors to create and share self tape auditions quickly and easily with their team of managers, agents, production and casting.

​​Actor App works in tandem with Casting Workbook, one of the leading platforms for casting solutions in the world with over 330,000 roles cast to date.

​​Casting Workbook was contracted by Twentieth Century Fox feature film casting to create the first digital audition management solution in 2003 and has been perfecting this process ever since.

​​Our video and voice recording features are robust yet incredibly simple to use and are designed to mirror current studio & network audition standards. Just some of the key professional functionality for video capture includes your ability to easily adjust lighting, zoom, shoot multiple takes including slates, add captions, titles and fades, trim clips and send individual clips or combine them and then drag-and-drop the order of clips and title cards. Clips can be renamed and when requested by your agent, a copy is sent to their dashboard for approval and sending to casting.

​​The best part is that everything can be shared and used with all other casting services.
​​Active members to Casting Workbook can use their ID and password to access the app. If your agent or manager invited you to download the app please refer to their email invitation or contact Casting Workbook for your login details.

​​Please note that Actor App is exclusively available to invited or active Casting Workbook members

Ratings and reviews

I'm not crazy about using my phone for self-tapes, but it was requested by the CD so I tried it. It froze the first time I tried to upload the video but after closing the app and trying again it worked. Once uploaded, the video was submitted directly to my agent without me having to fiddle around anymore, which I liked. The freezing in the first download attempt was annoying though and if I had the choice I would reduce my rating by another 1/2 star.

Still hoping to see a slate feature that allows you to record vertically. Cant import vertical viedos either. such a pain to have to contact casting workbook for them to edit it. Also last time the frame size was all messed up. If that was available it would be the perfect self tape app. Without it I really cant use it at all.

Edited: Very useful. Makes submitting so much easier and streamlined. If I could add it to chromebook it would be ideal and if there was a way that I could make sure I was in frame but then it would stop showing the screen once I started filming in selfie mode it would be perfect! Sometimes I film and it is upside down?? Also is it possible to archive previous projects?
