What does Casting Notice mean?

Casting Notice is a public or private announcement made by casting directors or producers to find actors for specific roles in film, television, theater, or commercials. These notices typically include details about the project, the type of roles being cast, submission deadlines, and any specific requirements such as age, gender, or physical attributes. For instance, a casting notice might specify that they are looking for a young male actor, aged 18-25, for a supporting role in a feature film. Actors or agents can submit headshots, resumes, and reels in response to casting notices.

Example:A casting notice for a new TV series requested submissions for actors aged 25-35 with experience in comedy.
Example: The production company posted a casting notice looking for background extras for a crowd scene in an upcoming movie.
