Languages on enCAST
We try to keep the list of languages simple. Most languages are shown as one single option, without dialects or accents.
For example, we only list Italian — we do not list Tuscan, Venetian, or Napolitan separately.
But for some languages we do offer major variants:
Because many casting calls (especially American films shooting in Europe) ask for actors who sound American, we offer:
-
English
This means any kind of English, such as British, Irish, Canadian, Australian, South African, or neutral/international English. -
English (British)
This is for people who speak specifically British English and can pass for a British person. -
English (American)
This means you speak with an American accent and can pass as someone from the USA.
If you can speak with a perfect American Accent, then by all means select both English and English (American).
Accents & Dialects #
Sometimes a casting call may ask for a specific accent or dialect which we don't have on our list of languages. For example:
-
“The actor should speak English with an Australian accent.”
-
“The actor should speak Italian with a Sicilian accent.”
In these cases:
-
You must write in your application email that you speak this accent or dialect.
-
You must include a voice sample or showreel where you speak in that accent.
Important Notes
- Always be honest about your accent — casting directors will listen carefully!
