Position Overview

The Casting Assistant will support the daily casting, scheduling, administrative, and event-coordination needs of our company.


This position requires someone who can manage multiple events simultaneously, communicate professionally with actors and clients, and remain calm when an event requires an urgent casting replacement or last-minute adjustment.


This is not simply a general office position. Applicants should have experience or strong working knowledge in casting, live entertainment, theater, event planning, talent coordination, production, or a closely related field.


Primary Responsibilities

  • Organize auditions and performer interviews
  • Prepare and distribute casting calls
  • Review actor and performer submissions

  • Schedule performers for events
  • Prepare call times, event instructions, addresses, and directions
  • Confirm that performers received and understood their instructions
  • Contact clients to verify event details
  • Coordinate events with corporate and private event planners
  • Maintain accurate performer and event records
  • Update website information and company databases
  • Post casting and promotional content on social media
  • Track open roles and casting deadlines
  • Follow up with performers who have not confirmed
  • Assist with last-minute performer replacements
  • Communicate changes to clients, performers, sales representatives, and production staff
  • Maintain organized documentation for multiple events in different cities


Required Qualifications

Applicants must demonstrate:

  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills
  • Strong professional phone etiquette
  • Superior verbal and written communication skills
  • The ability to manage several events and deadlines simultaneously
  • Good judgment under pressure
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Professionalism when communicating with actors, clients, and event planners
  • The ability to follow instructions and complete assignments without constant supervision
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Google Workspace, email, calendars, and online business systems
  • Familiarity with WordPress or similar website platforms
  • Knowledge of social-media posting and promotion
  • General knowledge of television, movie, historical, theatrical, and popular entertainment characters
  • An understanding of the relationship between sales, casting, creative development, and event production


Preferred Qualifications

Preference may be given to applicants with experience in:

  • Casting actors or entertainers
  • Theater or film production
  • Talent agencies
  • Corporate-event planning
  • Entertainment booking
  • Preparing actor call sheets
  • Working with performers in multiple cities
  • Coordinating costumes, rehearsals, travel, or event logistics
  • Handling last-minute event or talent emergencies


Schedule and Availability

This is a full-time, in-office position in Austin, Texas. It is NOT remote or hybrid.

Applicants must be able to report reliably to the Austin office for all scheduled shifts.

Because live events may occasionally involve last-minute changes, applicants should be available for reasonable evening or weekend communication when an urgent casting issue affects an upcoming event.


Who Will Succeed in This Position

The strongest candidate will be:

  • Dependable and punctual
  • Loyal and committed
  • Calm during stressful situations
  • Comfortable making professional telephone calls
  • Persistent with performer confirmations and follow-up

To be considered, applicants must submit:

  1. A current resume
  2. A cover letter
  3. The city in which they currently reside
  4. A description of their relevant casting, entertainment, theater, production, or event-planning experience
