Casting Nation, the newest and best casting site on the web, is extremely pleased to announce a cross promotional partnership with one of the world’s premier acting schools, The Beverly Hills Playhouse. For those unfamiliar with the BHP, it is a 40 year old school in Los Angeles with a reputation for training actors who are not only talented, but also bring an unparalleled professionalism to the stage and set.
This partnering was created to let the industry know that when it’s dealing with Casting Nation, it’s dealing with industry professionals whose only concerns are getting the right actors seen for the right jobs and getting that done with integrity.
Casting Nation will be the primary recommendation for online protfolios for BHP students and in return Casting Nation will be recommending the Playhouse’s classes in LA, NY and San Francisco (opening in September 2009). It is hoped that in the near future they will also be co-sponsoring seminars around the country.
The BHP has trained some of the finest and biggest names in entertainment and these same artists have won every kind of award imaginable from Tonys to Emmys to Oscars. Michelle Pfieffer, George Clooney, Giovanni Ribisi, Jenna Elfman, Jorge Garcia…these are just a few of the dozens of actors who have studied at the Playhouse.

Dear Members,
Well, May turned out to be a huge month. Not only did we get our first 250 members on schedule, we received a ton of suggestions and adjustments from everyone including the casting directors we’ve been talking to.
As a result of all this imput we have already added the following features:
-You may now mark your Portfolio as ‘Private,’ which means only registered casting directors will be able to see your portfolio on this site. We designed it primarily for our under eighteen members, but anyone can use it!
-The Casting Calls to which you submit are now automatically marked that you’ve already sent in to that particular project.
-You can also look at ALL the Casting Calls to which you’ve submitted.
-Once you submit a project you will be taken back to exactly where you were before on your Casting Call list.
And in the first two weeks of June we will have added:
-Video & Audio Uploads
-Casting Call searches by Zip Code!
-Major projects for Summer & Fall
We should also have a few surprises…
Bottom line? Casting Nation is working hard to make this the simplest, most effective and most user friendly site on the web. If you have ANY suggestions or comments we would truly love to hear from you.
Casting Nation…Our vision, your site.
