About casting
Do I have to pay to audition?
Never. Ember does not charge actors for anything, and no one should ask you to pay on our behalf.
Are roles paid?
Every role is paid, including background. Rates are stated when we offer the role.
Can I apply without experience?
Yes. Many of our background and some speaking roles go to first-timers.
Next set-up
Not an actor, but want in?
