VIRTUAL CASTING

Mark Mullen and Associates Casting performed their last in-person casting just as it was announced that Tom Hanks had contracted the coronavirus and the NBA had suspended their season. At about that same time, Casting Networks was testing Virtual Casting through numerous video chat platforms before landing on an old favorite — Skype. In conjunction with Ecamm Movie Tools, the new Skype integrates seamlessly with Casting Networks, offering the highest video resolution, clearest audio, best compression rate, and securest platform for casting.  

By mid March of 2020, Mark Mullen and Associates Casting was up and running again with Virtual Casting, serving clients in LA and Florida for their multi-day casting projects from prep to casting and callback to booking with flawless delivery. 

Mark Mullen and Associates Casting is proud to offer this casting service to their clients during this challenging time, promising to ensure the same high quality service for which the company is known. Florida’s talent pool is registered and on board and have become quite proficient at auditioning through this system since its introduction at the onset of the pandemic. 

If you’re looking for the closest thing to an in-person casting, complete with direction for initial session(s) and a callback with unlimited client attendance and interaction with talent, and crisp HD video, rich sound, and rock solid security, this is it. As each state opens up, the casting company has similarly responded with newly established social distancing guidelines for in-person casting too. This includes talent waiting in their vehicle before text notification to enter the building, hands-free sign in, dedicated and spacious on-deck holding area prior to entering the audition room, and allowance for mask and gloves prior to and just after the camera rolls..  

Mark Mullen and Associates Casting has been in business casting in Florida and the Southeast since 1999. The company opened permanent offices in LA in the summer of 2017. These days, the team casts projects all over the country as well as in South America, Asia, and Europe. Regular commercial clients include Walt Disney World and Disneyland, Universal, Spectrum, EA, Tobacco Free Florida, and Visit Florida. Mark has been nominated for the Casting Society of America’s prestigious Artios Award for the last two years for casting Waves in 2019 and The Florida Project in 2018.
