CastMeNow x Michael Masini Launch the First AI to Match Talent with Reps

Hey CastmeNow community,

We know it’s been a little quiet on our end — but that’s only because we’ve had our heads down building something massive. Today, we’re beyond excited to finally let you in on what we’ve been working on:

📣 Introducing: Find a Rep

Find a Rep lets you reach out to hundreds of top talent agents with a single click — powered by AI, backed by Michael Masini, our new Industry Advisor and working actor, and built to get you real traction through the most comprehensive agent outreach system in the industry.

We’re launching with four expertly curated lists:
1,500+ agents in Los Angeles, 1,000+ in NYC, 200 in Atlanta, and 100+ across the Midwest — all sourced and curated in collaboration with Michael Masini — a successful working actor who's been repped by many of the industry's top agencies.

But this isn’t just a list — it’s a full-stack, AI-powered experience built to get you real traction.

Here’s how it works:

• Purchase a list only once (affordably priced)
• Connect your casting accounts + email
• Tell us what kind of rep you’re looking for
• Our AI instantly matches you to the right agents, assigning scores to every agent in the list
• Set a default outreach template or personalize each message

Hit send — we schedule emails to go out on weekdays, during business hours for maximum visibility. We track email opens as well!

And the best part? Every agent profile includes a detailed bio — who they’ve repped, what they specialize in, agency details, and key insights — so you can pitch with confidence and precision. You've got all the research at your fingertips!

And as an artist-first platform, we’re giving all users free access to 10 agents. We want you to test it out, see the value, and feel confident before purchasing. We've jam packed this feature with so much utility, value and care that we truly believe there’s nothing like it anywhere else in the industry.

🔧 What Else We've Been Up To
June was a great month for us. While we were heads-down launching Find a Rep, we also onboarded a wave of new users — and spent a lot of time listening. From longtime users to first-timers, your feedback came through loud and clear. Now that we’ve freed up some engineering cycles, we’re back to shipping the core improvements you’ve been asking for:

• Multiple headshots + reels per submission — long overdue 😅
• Backstage Support — at last 🙌
• Custom submission notes — yup, we know! 😎
• 🗣️ Revamped onboarding — now with voice
  We’re testing a voice agent that talks to you during onboarding, asks smart questions about your goals, and auto-fills your preferences for accurate matching. It just works — especially for users who’ve struggled with setup.
• 📊 Artist Analytics — Coming Soon (BIG)
  Guess what? We’ve partnered with a data scientist to dig into thousands of casting breakdowns and past submissions — not just to show trends, but to bring real transparency into the casting world. You’ll soon be able to see what skills are in demand, which cities are heating up, how your submissions compare, and yes — even what people are getting paid. Artists finally getting access to insights that were always behind closed doors.

In the meantime, check out our new Instagram series Breakdowns Weekly, where we’re already sharing early findings:

These features are directly shaped by your feedback — thank you for being vocal.

Our vision is for CastMeNow to become the complete artist stack — a powerful toolbox to help actors win, stay ahead, and stop guessing. You've probably seen our new website upgrade, and will continue to see product updates move intentionally in this direction, with this as just the beginning. We’re building this for you, and with you.
