A free professional tool aimed to increase the representation of Deaf and disabled performers in Australia has been launched by The Casting Guild of Australia (CGA) and the Australian casting resource Showcast. Showcasing the pool of talent to industry professionals, the edicated platform will be hosted on Showcast’s website and be made available to national casting directors, agents and producers.
The portal will host self-taped video footage of individual performers as well as a headshot and CV for industry professionals to use to cast their projects. Performers wanting to submit their details simply need to log-in to Showcast’s portal.
