ActressIt

ActressIt is a web-based platform designed to connect aspiring actresses with casting opportunities. The platform was launched in 2007 by actress and casting director, Jennifer L. Smith, with the goal of providing a centralized location for actors to showcase their talents and for casting professionals to discover new talent. ActressIt operates as a subscription-based service, offering various membership levels that provide access to different features and tools.

The platform allows users to create profiles, upload headshots, resumes, and videos, and submit to open casting calls. Casting directors and agents can search for actors based on specific criteria such as age, height, weight, and experience. ActressIt also offers a marketplace where users can buy and sell acting-related items, such as scripts, headshots, and audition tips.

ActressIt has gained popularity among actors and casting professionals due to its user-friendly interface and extensive database of talent. The platform has been featured in various media outlets, including The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and Entertainment Weekly. However, like any online platform, ActressIt has also faced criticism for its high subscription fees and the quality of talent it hosts. Despite these challenges, ActressIt continues to be a popular resource for actors and casting professionals seeking to connect and collaborate.
