"It's very streamlined, even now in the virtual world. It's more about quality of cast - and quality of casting tapes - as opposed to having a lot of people to look at."

We worked with director Paul Ward and producer Martina Schieder for Giant Films to cast the latest Sanlam ad during lockdown.

We cast in The Virtual Studio for all initial castings and majority of callbacks with Paul present virtually. He also virtually joined the physical callbacks of several people who had to be seen together in the physical studio.

"I don't think I've enjoyed a casting as much in all the years I've worked, as I have with the [Kayos] Virtual Studio casting."

Erica Brumage, director at Groundglass, has reflected on The Virtual Studio casting process with us. We recently cast the lead for the 60 minute, 3 part series with Erica. We began with casting the lead presenter, and thanks to The Virtual Studio were able to see men and women from around the world to find the right person.

"The Virtual Studio was an amazing experience, not only for the planet - for this industry to work in a greener way - but also access to castings as far a field as London."

Katherine Leach-Lewis, Executive Producer at Up A Gumtree, has eloquently articulated what she valued about Kayos, as well as her experience casting The Virtual Studio.
