About us
We started in 1996 and we have been servicing the local and international community for 30 years. Andy Davis, our founder, is from the UK and after a spur of the moment visit to South Africa he never moved back.
Our services
We work with the many talent representatives throughout South Africa to find you the best talent for your project, with representation or without.
We have a strong knack for research and sourcing talent beyond the usual methods. We have a range of studio directors to fit any specialty project (kids, sports, acting-based, comedy etc.) and all in our team are professionals within the creative industry itself.
We also offer budgeting consulting services and have worked in all territories worldwide and have extensive experience consulting within all mediums and different platforms.
We provide our casting and audition material online to our clients to share with their clients within 24 hours of production. This comes in the form of presentations, links to footage and images of talent all in one.
Different types of casting include: in-studio casting at our studios, location castings (for example: at a skateboard park, in a park, at a sports arena etc.), photo castings, self-tapes directly from talent, Zoom or live online castings for clients based far away, and more.
Testimonials
We have worked with Andy and his fabulous team on countless commercial productions over the years, and they are always a pleasure to collaborate with. Dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring about finding the right people for every project. No matter how challenging the brief or how tight the deadline, they always go the extra mile to deliver.
What makes The Casting Studio special is not only their expertise, but also how wonderful they are to work with - responsive, reliable, and always willing to help wherever and whenever needed. We know we can count on them, and their commitment and positive attitude make them an invaluable part of every production.
It’s been a while since I worked with another casting director because my relationship with Andy is more of a collaboration. I habitually discuss my talent budget and approach with him in the quoting stages so we can find a happy balance that won’t compromise the outcome or jeopardise the budget. The result is usually a great turnout with good results.
The Casting Studio is flexible and will create the perfect environment to allow talent to perform at their best in the audition.
As an owner and producer of a production company, finding the right talent quickly and reliably is critical to every shoot we undertake. The Casting Studio consistently delivers on both counts. Andy and his team are always accessible, proactive, and willing to go the extra mile — qualities that matter enormously when you're working to tight deadlines and demanding client briefs.
In all our time working together they have never once failed to find exactly the talent our clients are looking for.
We've relied on The Casting Studio many times, often at the last minute, and they never let us down. Andy and his team are incredibly responsive, professional, and efficient in setting up castings.
Andy's expertise and industry knowledge consistently deliver outstanding results, and our clients were always extremely happy with the talent and overall outcome.
We have been working successfully with our casting partner in Cape Town The Casting Studio for many years, supporting major international clients and multiple brands across TV commercials and advertising campaigns. Their professionalism, reliability, and outstanding talent selection consistently contribute to the success of our productions.
From start to finish, the team delivers excellent service, communicates efficiently, and always goes the extra mile. We have been extremely satisfied with their performance from A to Z and highly value this long-standing partnership.
