Michelle Smith Casting Ltd is one of the most imaginative Casting houses in the UK
With over twenty years in the Casting profession we have a wealth of experience in
TV, Film and Commercial Casting
Based in Manchester and London, we cast productions all over the UK - this year alone our TV and Film projects have seen us casting in London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds and Belfast. As well as casting the best actors for the role we also specialise in sourcing raw new talent by holding workshops in schools and theatre groups. As you can see from our online CV we have had a successful year in our TV and Film department.
Our diverse casting skills are also apparent in our Commercials casting, from auditioning professional actors to play the role of a fisherman, to sourcing real fisherman from Plymouth to Whitby! It's not unusual to find our street casting team mooching around a busy market place looking for 'faces' or going into the clients workplaces and finding the star of the commercial in their own staffroom. Our casting philosophy is to leave 'no stone unturned' in our search.
