Want to be in a commercial? You don’t need to be a professional actor to apply!
At Vitamin Enriched, we specialize in real people casting for television commercials, advertising campaigns, documentary-style projects, and branded content across the United States. W e’ve helped brands and filmmakers discover authentic people with unique stories, experiences, backgrounds, and personalities. One of the questions we get asked most often is: How do I apply for one of your real people casting calls?The good news is that it’s easy, and you don’t need any acting experience to get started!
The first step is to visit the Vitamin Enriched website at http://www.vitaminenrichedfilms.com.
We regularly post real people casting calls for upcoming television commercials, advertising campaigns, and other projects.
Our casting searches vary depending on what our clients are looking for. Sometimes we’re searching for people with specific jobs, hobbies, talents, or life experiences. Other times, we’re looking for families, friends, couples, small business owners, or people with interesting personal stories.
We cast people of all ages and backgrounds, and many of our casting opportunities are open to applicants nationwide.
Every real people casting call is different, so it’s important to read the full description before applying.
Our casting notices typically explain:
If you think you’re a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
When you find a casting call that interests you, follow the application link provided in the posting.
Most of our real people casting calls include an online submission form where we ask for some basic information about you.
Depending on the project, we may ask you to share:
Our biggest tip? Be yourself!
We’re not looking for perfectly rehearsed answers or professional acting performances. We want to get to know the real you.
If we’re asking about your experiences, hobbies, family, or career, tell us your story in your own words. The little details are often what make someone interesting and memorable.
Many of our casting applications ask you to upload photos.
You don’t need professional headshots or modeling photos to apply for real people casting calls.
In fact, we often prefer natural, recent photos that show us what you actually look like.
Here are a few tips:
A simple photo taken on your phone is usually perfectly fine!
Once you submit your application, our casting team reviews submissions to find people who match the needs of the project.
If we think you might be a good fit, someone from Vitamin Enriched may contact you for additional information or invite you to participate in a casting interview.
Our real people casting process often includes a video interview over Zoom, where we’ll ask questions and get to know you better.
Don’t worry if you’ve never auditioned before! Our casting directors are experienced in working with people who have never been in front of a camera.
We want you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident sharing your story.
Depending on the project, there may also be additional interviews or callbacks before the final casting decisions are made.
Please note: Because we receive many submissions, we may not be able to respond to every applicant. If you’re selected to move forward, our team will reach out with next steps.
Absolutely not!
Real people casting is different from traditional acting auditions.
We’re looking for authentic people with real experiences, stories, personalities, and connections.
You might be a small business owner who loves what you do, a grandparent with a special relationship with your grandchild, an athlete with an inspiring story, or someone with a unique hobby or profession.
You don’t have to be an actor, influencer, or public speaker.
You just have to be you.
Many of the commercial casting opportunities we work on are paid.
Compensation varies depending on the project, the role, the filming requirements, and how the footage or photographs will be used.
When compensation details are available, we’ll include them in the casting notice or share them during the casting process.
Yes! If you meet the requirements for multiple casting opportunities, you’re welcome to apply for more than one.
Each project has its own requirements, so be sure to complete the application for the specific casting call you’re interested in.
And even if you’re not selected for one project, that doesn’t mean you won’t be a great fit for another.
After more than two decades of casting real people, we’ve learned that the best submissions are often the most genuine.
A few things can help your application stand out:
Remember, some of the most memorable people we’ve cast had never auditioned for anything before.
At Vitamin Enriched, we believe everyone has a story worth telling.
Whether you’re interested in appearing in a television commercial, sharing your personal experiences in an advertising campaign, or participating in a documentary-style project, we’d love to hear from you.
