This is the process we would like you to use to select specific talent to audition for specific roles from Dani's Agency when there is little or no cash compensation.
Dani's Agency represents over 800 actors of all ages, about 75% are professionally trained and the others are working on their craft or are too young to train. We encourage actors we represent to work on independent films for training purposes when there is little or no money, however we do not post auditions. If you wish to audition any particular actor we will gladly forward your information and email to the talent you request and they will schedule a time for the audition on the date you specify.
Please go back to Dani's Agency Home page and do a virtual casting online. I will gladly talk you through your first search using our new online talent database if needed, 602-263-1918 office or 602-505-0823 cell.
