Casting Call Club

What Casting Call Club does

Casting Call Club (CCC) is a free-to-use web-based collaboration marketplace that connects creative talent — primarily voice actors, audio engineers, artists, animators, writers, streamers, and YouTubers — with indie creators and project owners needing those skills for productions such as indie games, animations, audiobooks, and podcasts. The platform is built on AWS infrastructure (us-east-1) and features searchable Creator Portfolios, project and role management tools, in-platform messaging, profile analytics, and a virtual currency system (cccCoins). The product has been operational since 2015 and has grown to 1,100,000+ registered talent members across 100+ countries, with 18,000 new roles posted per month.

CCC operates a freemium subscription model with four tiers: Free, Apprentice ($6/mo annual or $15/mo monthly), Maker ($8/mo annual or $25/mo monthly), and Business ($12/mo annual or $30/mo monthly). Paid tiers unlock features such as profile customization, analytics, featured visibility in search, expanded messaging limits, higher cccCoins issuance, and project co-management. The Business tier also bundles access to Closing Credits, an education platform offering live instructor-led courses in voice acting, audio engineering, acting for film/TV, and video game performance. Distribution is exclusively via direct web signup with community-led growth through Discord, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok), and user testimonials. The company is founder-operated by Buford Taylor, structured as Casting Call Club, LLC in California, with 1–10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.
