My name is Jonathan Parker and I'm the Founder of Star Search Casting, LLC. ( http://StarSearchCasting.com ). Back in 1998, after working in the entertainment industry for a number of years as a talent scout, I became aware of so many individuals with tremendous potential that just weren't getting the exposure they needed to succeed. That's when I first conceived of Star Search Casting as a way to help people be "discovered" by getting their faces and resumes in front of thousands of entertainment professionals who were in the position to hire them. Years in development, Star Search Casting became not only the most sophisticated casting site with the most advanced search engine, talent database, and tools to help you get maximum exposure, it also became the number one site where industry professionals go to find new talent!! I can't tell you how absolutely thrilled I am that SSC has achieved the goal I had in mind when it was originally created!

In an industry that takes the statement, "It's not what you know, it's who you know," to the extreme, Elite Casting Network levels the playing field by granting everyone in the business equal billing.

In 1998, we recognized the entertainment industry was severely lacking a powerful, effective tool to bring together talent and those who hire talent. A tremendous number of performers were not being recognized or utilized to their full potential. Our goal is to provide a way in, and for all of our talent to work as often as possible. To this end, we provide free access to our Talent Database to Casting Directors and Agents.

For decades, agents and casting directors kept track of their talent by manually storing headshots in filing cabinets. This cumbersome and inefficient method is old-fashioned. Our online service has become a huge time saver for casting personnel. By using our sophisticated Talent Database, casting directors around the world can easily find the specific talent they need with a few clicks on our talent search page. Their search can be as general or as specific as needed, putting the power directly into their hands.

Step into the 21st Century. Give the Elite Casting Network ( http://EliteCastingNetwork.com ) a try.
