To me the biggest spark of this app is it gives me consistent practice which is really important for this craft. And I’m slowly learning about craft and brand.
Castability For Actors
Published by:
Castability
Description
By taking on small Castability challenges, the actor targets their skillset toward the genre and character type that they believe would get them the best traction in the industry. For once, the actor is in control. Think you belong in a three-camera sitcom as the funny neighbor? Go for it. Think you’re meant to be the villain in a feature thriller? Your call.
After each challenge, you will be given the most actionable feedback ever provided to the actor. Top-level casting directors will evaluate your performance against four other actors performing the same scene. We use these casting directors not for their status, but for their talent honed over many years of evaluating thousands of actors competing for thousands of roles.
Here is how it works:
You choose the genre and character type challenge of your choice.
There you will find a scene we’ve written for the occasion. Using the app, you can shoot the scene as many times as you want, using the in-app scene partner, or by uploading the scene without it.
Once you’ve nailed the take, submit it for your first challenge. Once four other actors have submitted the same scene, one of our Casting Curators will review the challenge to provide unique feedback using our Castability method, and to invite one actor into our Castability Gallery.
The Curation
One of our Curators will rank the five actors from first place to fifth in four quality metrics:
Creativity. Being creative means making unique choices that can surprise, delight, or enhance a performance. It’s making a choice that stands out from the pack.
Believability. The believable actor seems never to be acting but instead embodies the role. They are authentically the character, as described within the required specifics of the role - and in the emotional context of the story.
Specificity. The specific actor has identified the motivation of the character and is tactical in their scene analysis. In a drama, they don’t miss a beat or a transition, and in a comedy, their timing is impeccable.
Personality. Personality is the X Factor. Call it Charisma, sex appeal, great energy, or just a great look. This actor just has something that makes you want to watch them.
Finally, the Castability Curator makes the final call:
Castability. Simply put, who is best suited for the role. It is not a judgement on the actor’s overall ability. It is a limited, practical decision of which actor best fits the role submitted. All actors, after each challenge, receive a report on their placement, which provides them with insight never before provided to actors.
The submission chosen as most castable moves on to the next round where their scene stands against other actors chosen as most castable for the same scene. These rounds continue until one last scene is left standing. Actors receive a star for each round in which they’re chosen, moving up the rankings of the Castability gallery with each additional star. The last actor standing gets a free credit to shoot their next scene.

Excellent for practice
Castability is a like an acting gym. I try not to focus on the outcome of each challenge (easier said than done!) and instead use each scene like an experiment for something I want to work on. Could be memorization, going with my gut or just pure play and going bigger than I would normally -just to see! It’s especially useful right now as real auditions are non-existent.
Much needed app for actors!
With terrible software like Casting Networks and Actors Access floating around, this app is a breath of fresh air.
Innovative and Exciting!
The data collection and analysis is phenomenal and unique. So worth it if you’re a new actors trying to break in.
Great app for actors
Honestly, this has been a game-changer for me in terms of motivation. I needed help with accountability to practice and knowing if my work was actually competitive. Plus, I have always wanted to know exactly what was going on in castings head and this helps me understand what they look for. I also love how I can keep track of my growth and see if my classes are truly making me better. I’m pretty sure there are parts of this app that are still in development, but I already love what it has to offer. Highly recommend if you’re looking for accountability and learning!
Worth the effort
Love the original scenes and have even gotten some agent response after sending out my best tapes in a self tape reel. Very worth the hard work, finally feel like I have the information to grow.
Great Data and Accountability
I’m really happy I joined Castability as it keeps me regimented in my self-tape practice and honing my work! Looking forward to getting my data report and learning how to improve more! A few bugs in the app, but overall works great.
Good potential
Good concept - very similar to scenebot. App itself has quite a few bugs. Some can be fixed by deleting and reinstalling the app, some not. The in-app reader is nice, but you can’t adjust the beginning and end of the recording to allow for a moment before/moment after. You also don’t get any specific feedback besides a 1-5 ranking, which can be helpful over time, but it would be beneficial to have specific feedback from those casting directors in order to truly understand the rankings. It is in beta phase, so looking forward to see how it improves.
Technical issues
The idea of this is super cool so I hope they get it figured out, but the technical glitches within the app cause so much frustration which steals the joy of this practice. The way the app is laid out does not match the size of my phone screen so some of the buttons, like the < (back button), are not accessible ergo causing me to get stuck on a page in the app. So I end up having to close the app every single time it gets stuck, then open it and start all over again. Also glitches with purchasing credits and updating profile. Please fix the app!!! It’s such a good idea!
I enjoy this app so much I became a member!
This app has brought the fun back to acting for me. The scenes are super creative and allows me to give myself permission to do something out of my wheelhouse. My absolute favorite thing about Castability is their in depth data analysis zoom calls. After submitting 12 scenes you can set up a zoom meeting and get an in depth breakdown of your data and discuss where you can improve. I learned that I needed to try more scenes with the archetypes Ruler and Creator. Having that meeting gave me so much insight and encouragement to grow and try out those archetypes that I would have simply given up on. I also love the Castability community. I have created my own separate self tape Instagram page and so many other Castability members follow and show me so much support. I also learn so much from my peers on Castability from their Winners Gallery. I could honestly go on about why I have so much fun with this app but my thumbs are tired hahaha. Thank you Castability for all you do. I’m glad to have joined in the beta stage and cannot wait to continue to see the growth of this application :)
