The ‘Castability’ App, Which Offers Actors Critiques from Casting Agents officially launched earlier this month, founder Jay Boyer and director of casting Amanda Lenker Doyle, CSA, told Variety and the app’s site.
Castability asks actors to film original scenes on their phone and delivers feedback and scores from working casting directors, the Variety report says and the company site confirms.
The app was founded by Jay Boyer and is led by Amanda Lenker Doyle, CSA, who is listed as Castability’s director of casting on the platform’s site and in Variety’s coverage.
Castability positions itself as an “audition simulator” that gives actors data dashboards to track scores, rankings and progress over time, and says every score comes from an established casting professional working in TV and film.
The company site advertises a two-week free trial and a subscription price of $35 per month after the trial, a detail the platform displays alongside its description of weekly original scenes, in-app teleprompter and an in-app reader for self-tapes.
How the app works and who scores tapes
Actors film short scenes supplied by the app and submit them for evaluation by a roster of casting professionals, the Variety story reports and the Castability site lists those casting directors by name and credits.
Castability’s site names Amanda Lenker Doyle, CSA, as Director of Casting and shows a roster of casting directors who score work on the platform; Variety notes the app moved out of beta testing and into an official launch earlier this month.
Why actors and casting rooms are watching
Proponents say the app offers actors a way to get targeted notes from professionals and to build a track record of scored work that can be shown to reps, while the company cautions Castability does not guarantee work or representation.
Variety reported the app’s move from beta into an official launch this month and described the product as a platform where actors can “film original scenes on their phone and then receive feedback from professional casting directors.”
That framing is echoed on Castability’s site, which highlights weekly new scenes, scoring and a Winner’s Gallery where top submissions are showcased.
For actors considering trying the service, the two-week free trial followed by a $35 monthly subscription is the clearest published pricing signal from the company’s own page.
