Directors, Casting Directors, Producers, Agents, Managers
Are you looking for new talent? Are you looking for a performer with a specific look or talent? You can browse our database of actors including in your search detailed information regarding the talent you're looking for, including location, gender, physical appearance, special skills. If you are a film student and have little time to cast your project you can search our database and find actors or acting students in your area, city or university.
You can also create a user profile where you can include information about yourself, current or future projects, upload projects you've already completed. If you find talent that interests you but are not suitable for your current project you can include them in your interest list.
Monologues and Scenes
Actorama.com has a searchable database of monologues and scenes from films, plays, television and books. The purpose of this section is to make it easier and faster for actors to find material to work on for auditions or training. The monologues and scenes are categorized and are searchable according to gender, source material, period, type (dramatic/comic/serio-comic), the driving action taking place in the scene and main emotions explored. Scenes are also searchable according to the number of characters present in the scene.
Each monologue and scene can be rated by members (up to 5 stars) and has a summary of the action in the story leading to the monologue/scene. Members can upload comments about the monologue or scene to share their ideas on how to perform it, opinions on author, source material and themes explored or just ask questions to other members. Members can also reply to other members' comments.
As an Actorama.com member, you can additionally upload videos or links of videos of yourself performing a particular monologue or scene. The videos are displayed at the bottom of the monologue or scene page. The purpose of this feature is to get feedback and advice from other members on how to improve your performance and delivery of the piece. The comments written by other members will be displayed under the video. Videos can also be rated (up to 5 stars).

Even if only a few lines of text are displayed, the website can still be used as a reference to make it easier and faster to find material to work on as copyrighted monologues and scenes are categorized, rated and include summaries, comments and videos from members.
