Question 1

When my director’s crew can already identify actors, will I not be wasting money by hiring a Casting Director?

Accepted Answer

At SST we search for, interact with and identify talent round the clock, strongly building an ever-growing catalog of both fresh and experienced actors. A production team will have many tasks to juggle and finding talent can become a burden
Our experience and unique offerings can support the team. Our casting service will ensure that you get more believable new faces for characters, and a more immersive experience in the story’s narrative
We save your time and effort by finding both new and experienced talents, with no compromise on performance quality. Consider us as a collaborator to reinforce your creative vision!
We do not handle locating/casting background actors. If that is a requirement, our costing would vary
Understanding the role and finding fresh faces is our fortay, and with the production experience our Casting Director Sharanya has, we would also get you your talent as much within budget as possible

Question 2

Do you handle the actor's cost negotiation & their schedule coordination?

Accepted Answer

At SST, we handle cost negotiations for secondary and tertiary talent. We are open to handling primary talent negotiations as well, unless the talent is established - the production team will have to handle negotiations and schedule coordination

Question 3

Do you make more money by taking commissions from actors also?

Accepted Answer

At SST, we do not take any commissions from the actors. All payments will be done directly to the talent, through cash, cheque or NEFT. We will provide you with all the necessary details to complete the transaction

Question 4

What are your charges and how do I measure your work?

Accepted Answer

At SST, we understand the script, your requirements and the budget, before we begin to find the right talent for you
This process is more than just looking through our existing roster of talent - we search, identify, audition, and sometimes train the talent before they start working with you. Therefore, depending on your requirements, each project is unique and will be handled and priced accordingly

Question 5

Have your services been beneficial to the makers of projects before?

Accepted Answer

At SST, we find the right talent, not just by how they look but also by how they perform and adapt. We ensure that talent is prepared for the role by training them, such that they arrive on set, receive direction and go!
We also pride ourselves in being able to bring a fresh perspective to the table - we are able to identify even seasoned actors for a role that they would not have been considered for, previously
Most importantly, we respect that all projects have budgets. We source talent that are not just good and well trained, but are also within the constraints of your budget
