Don’t sign up! This is NOt safe!
Don’t sign up, definitely don’t pay! I wish I didn’t sign up for this, their 10 day cancel window is just not long enough to understand how the site operates. They provide a listing of casting calls. They state they will give you listings based on a number of miles you select. But they give you several that claim to be within that mileage, when you click them to read, they aren’t. Most of them will say local talent only and you are several states away. I have given this feedback and nothing changes no one cares. Usually if one is local, it’s not shown to you until the last day of auditions and then it’s too late to sign up. It makes no sense. You’ll never be able to interact with any real employees of kids casting. They aren’t agents and do not help you obtain any casting calls. They simply provide you with some casting call info. Also, they sell your contact info. I get tons and I mean tons of scam texts pretending to be casting directors interested in my child. Then they want money for something or another. There are also several scam auditions/casing calls on their page. Magazines that don’t exist that want your kids pictures, some that claim to be modeling agencies that want you to pay to belong or to enter your child’s photo for a chance at a page with your child’s bio and picture in their fake magazine. A simple Google search shows these magazines aren’t real. A simple google search finds several others have proved these are scams. The site does nothing to remove them. They simply say don’t respond! They clearly do NOT do any vetting at all. Which means your child’s info and pictures are available to anyone pretending to be a casting director, agent, agency, and the list goes on. This is downright dangerous! This site should be shut down. I’m disgusted I ever signed up and paid, but of course they put a ton of good reviews at the top and all the negative ones are drowned out. Please don’t make my mistake! Do NOT use this site. There are other free sites, there are agencies and private agents you can use. This is NOT safe nor worth any money. You won’t get any real jobs from this. Taking a moment to edit my review due to a call and the below response from Kidscasting. Please see edits below. Kids Casting charges you to see these casting calls. These casting calls should be vetted. It’s unclear if they are or aren’t vetted at this point. A Kids Casting rep called me and assured me they do vet them, below it’s clearly stating they do not. Ask yourself how safe it is to have your and your children’s location, phone number, specific descriptions, pictures, and an entire bio available to any random person that claims to be a casting director and creates a fake casting call?.. With this said, the Rep from kids casting was very polite. He offered me a 3 month extension free of charge and to add my child to “their list of children’s profiles they pass along to casting directors in immediate need.”. I said thanks, they then asked me to remove my review. I said I’ll have to think about that. They followed with informing me of this list again, and by providing me a 6 month free extension. Let’s again think about this.. Why are we paying for this service, when they are providing this Top Secret list to directors of children whose parents wrote a bad review? Why aren’t any paying customers already on this list? Does this list exist? Who does this list go to and how often? Are they passing it to more random fake casting directors who are not vetted? I asked about safety several times and was assured the texts I got from these fake casting directors had nothing to do with them… Well, I disagree. My phone is unlisted, my child’s information was in that text, and that information was on Kids casting. According to Kidscasting one of those messages was from someone they removed from the site several months ago… well we joined after they stated they removed him, so clearly he has a new fake unvetted profile. Kid’s casting, I’ve decided not to remove my review. I should be offered a refund at this point as now I know, you pass this “list” on without all paying customers on it.
