When you apply for a casting, you can only apply for one role – even if the casting has several different roles listed. This is not a mistake or a technical limit; it’s a deliberate choice, based on how casting professionals work.

Why Only One Role? #

Casting directors don’t like receiving multiple applications from the same person for different roles in the same project. It can look unprofessional and make the casting process more complicated. Instead, they prefer each actor to apply for just one role – the one they feel fits them best.

This doesn’t mean you won’t be considered for other roles. Quite the opposite. A casting director will often review your application and think: “This person may not be right for the role they applied for, but they could be perfect for this other role.” It’s part of their job to match the right people to the right roles. But they prefer to make that decision themselves, based on a single, focused application.

What You Should Do #

Before applying, take a moment to look through all the roles in the casting and choose the one that suits you best. Think about your look, your skills, and your experience. 

By applying for just one role, you’re showing that you understand the casting process and that you respect how the industry works. And that professionalism will always work in your favour.
