Until the next Film and Mass Media General Casting Call event.
In an effort to better facilitate the education of effective casting, and to help students connect with talented, trained professional actors who would like to participate in their films; the Film and Mass Media Program at the UCF Nicholson School of Communication and Media has partnered with Truthful Acting Studios to host a General Casting Call every Fall semester. Actors will have the chance to submit auditions for dozens of student directors with films heading into production; students will be able to participate in casting sessions and apply directing techniques under guidance from UCF faculty and Truthful Acting Studios. UCF Film is excited to offer this annual event to enhance the relationship between its student filmmakers and Central Florida area actors.
We will be conducting a limited casting session with individuals in person. Each audition will be comprised of a cold reading, feedback, and directional adjustments. We are initially asking interested actors to record and submit a monologue. These video submissions will be evaluated and a selection of actors will be chosen to participate in a casting session with faculty and students.
The event is taking place on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026, from Noon – 4pm.
It will be hosted in-person on the Film Sound Stage NSC-181A in the Nicholson School of Communication and Media Building on the UCF Main Campus.
Student filmmakers are invited to join the casting session, where they can observe and participate in directing a curated selection of 24 actors interested in working on student productions. No reservation is necessary. Just show up and get involved.
