As a company We decided to use star now because a few of our talents were working with them and figured that they should work.
But honestly the actors on this website are very desperate and beg for things that are not promised on the gig listing. On multiple occasions actors from other countries have submitted to my gig listing believing for some reason that they would be selected and feel as though we will be paying air and accommodations. We make no such agreement on our listing yet 90 percent of the applicants either do this or are either nothing like specified. Example if you are looking for an actor who can do a British accent you will get 90 applicants who do a Canadian accent. The people who apply for listing do not read. Any way a few of the people I asked star now about then began changing their story about it saying they were unprofessional I then asked them why didn't they tell me before hand? They said they just recently started doing this. Also Productions I would like to warn you about the up charging they do. I dont have a problem paying for a listing but I am here to tell you that your wasting your time. The guidelines to do match the quality of the service provided one bit. They need to encourage their talent to handle their selves in more of a professional manner! A few talent from this agency found me on other social media platforms and began being bothersome a bout a role they were not a good fit or qualified to do... mainly people from... you guessed it a differnt region than my location. The talent that we asked also mentioned that they ended up getting scammed as well. But once again they mentioned this way after I already posted my ad.
If you are looking to post an ad I would say proceed with caution and don't pay for an ad because itt would not be worth it in the end.

Hey Jaju,

I’m sorry to hear you have had a bad experience using our site.

To give you a bit of background, StarNow is a website that promotes casting calls. We are not a casting or modelling agency. Models, actors, musicians, and other talent come to our site to search for upcoming job opportunities and casting calls in their area. We offer agencies, Casting Professionals, and anyone else searching for talent a way to find the right people for their production.

If you are ever concerned with an individual members behaviour, please email contact@starnow.com from the email address associated with your account and our Customer Success team will look in to this for you as soon as possible.

All the best,
Maddy

UPDATE:

They stopped me using their services about two years ago and I couldn't understand why, they just kept saying it was their right to do so and kept referring me to their rules, but referring me to their rules was pointless when I had no idea what I was supposed to have done, finally, they claimed I created a site that inappropriately rivalled their site, which I couldn't understand because I am rubbish with computers and wouldn't know how, but they said the matter was closed and refused to discuss it further, I assumed they just had a personal issue with me and left it at that. Recently I discovered, thanks to the police I had, had my identity stolen and sites using my account was being made, which even created sites similar to starnow, but with the adult element, being a family man this is not something I would ever do or agree with. I have even a letter from the police, which I scanned and showed Starnow. Two issues here, one is that if they talked to me I would have realised what was going on years ago and I would have been able to stop this identity theft, and the second issue is, even though I have proven I didn't do anything wrong and was a victim in a crime, they are still refuse to allow me back, how nasty is that? They will probably try to justify this, but there is nothing they can say that justify's refusing to have me back when I proved I didn't do anything and was a victim of identity theft, I can only hope the same happens to them so they can understand how horrible it is to have this done to you.

They make false accusations about people. Refuse to take responsibility for accusing falsely and treat people poorly. They allow people who sexually harass people and they allow stalkers to stay. Starnow is bullies and mental abusers: Added Update: As you can all see they refuse to fix the issue when they are in the wrong. Please be careful with Starnow because even if you do not breach their rules they make things up about you and remove you anyway.
