There are no fees to become a standard member of In House Casting. Once your membership is approved your 30-day free trial period will commence.

What is the 30-day FREE trial period?

In House Casting offers a 30-day 'cooling off' period to our new members. This is a legal requirement of the UK's 'Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2010, amended to combat the rise of rogue agencies and entertainment companies whose sole purpose is taking advantage of aspiring performers. For further information on this matter, please view the corresponding legislation.

What does my 30-day FREE trial period entitle me to?

Your free trial will allow you the opportunity to experience the benefits of using In House Casting. During this period you may view and apply for castings and auditions, and you will have access to many features of the In House Casting website, although certain areas, discounts and promotions will remain restricted. Once your free trial period ends, your membership will revert back to a standard package and you must upgrade to a Premium membership to have complete access to In House Castings services.

How much does a Premium membership cost?

The entire In House artistic team have worked as professional performers at some point, and we completely understand the struggles, financial difficulties and often long periods of unemployment that performers have to face! Because of this we have kept our membership prices to an absolute minimum: an In House Casting Premium membership could cost you as little as £1.35 per week!

  • Monthly Premium Membership - £9.99.
  • Quarterly Premium Membership - £24.99.
  • Annual Premium Membership - £69.99.
