From your local TV Commercials to major Hollywood Blockbusters, HeyCast’s pricing is scalable to suit any project’s size.

For Casting Directors, our plans are all project-based, which in turn allows each individual project to manage its own seperate billing information. Our pricing scales, based on the number of Talent booked for your project – we call these bookings ‘Mandays’ in HeyCastland.

In essence – it it not based on shoot days or how many days out of the month you use, simply how many bookings you confirm in your schedule.

For Talent Agencies, your month subscription is based on how many talent you have in your database.

It is free to have a Talent User account with HeyCast.

No, we’re the software that Agencies and productions use to manage talent in film and television. We want to help your Agency run more efficiently.

Not at all. We’re just a tool Casting Directors use and the process is the same as it’s always been. 

For example, a Casting Director can send a casting brief by email directly to an Agency – if the Agency has the right Talent for the job, then the Talent can be invited to join the production in HeyCast. When Talent creates a profile, the Agency will automatically be added to the profile.

Alternatively a Casting Director can publicly post a link to their casting call – much like you might with a Facebook post. If Talent wants to apply, they’ll be asked to create a HeyCast profile, and if they are already with an Agency, they’ll be required to list them. If they get booked on a role, the Agency will be notified.

But if your Agency is already on HeyCast, you’ll see the Casting Directors brief immediately. How good is that!

Because it’s how the Talent Agents and Casting Directors using HeyCast manage them in productions!

Unfortunately some Talent may be dishonest and choose not to correctly represent themselves, much like responding to a facebook post casting call without your knowledge. We recommend keeping up good communication with your Talent to ensure they are not attempting to work without your knowledge.

Talent can only create one profile, that is used to apply for all roles.

Nope! We’re a software that productions use to manage the talent they cast.
HeyCast does not represent any Talent.

Because it’s how the Casting Directors and Talent Agents can manage you for film productions!

Of course! If you are already with an Agency, you must list your Agency in your HeyCast profile.

Sorry we don’t make recommendations. There are plenty of fantastic Agencies in Aotearoa and choosing representation is an important decision, so we recommend taking your time to find the right fit.

You can only create one account and we actively remove duplicate profiles.
