Meet some of our talent
For talent
We only win when you get booked.
Most talent platforms charge you every month, booked or not. Castmira is free, and we earn a fair commission only when you're paid.
Free. Actually free.
No joining fee, no subscription, no "portfolio package". If anyone asks you to pay in our name, it isn't us.
15%, only when booked
Below the 20 to 30% many UAE agencies take. You see the rate before you say yes to any job.
Paid within 7 days
Not 60 or 90. We pay you within 7 days of the client paying us, with a statement for every job.

Questions
Do I have to pay anything to join?
No. Castmira is free for talent. We take a 15% commission only from jobs you're booked and paid for. We will never ask you to pay for photos, courses or registration.
I've never modelled or acted. Can I join?
Yes. Many jobs (commercials, e-commerce, extras, events) want real people, not just professionals. Tell us your experience level and we'll match you to suitable jobs.
What photos and videos do I need?
A clear headshot and a full-length photo are the must-haves, taken on a phone in daylight with no filters. More photos and a 30-second intro video ("hi, I'm…") get you booked faster. You can add up to 12 photos, 3 videos and links to any showreel.
Who can join?
Anyone aged 18 or over who lives in the UAE and can legally do the jobs they accept. We ask about your visa so we only put you forward for suitable work.
Can I update my profile later?
Yes. Log in to My profile any time with your email and password to change your details and add or remove photos and videos.
When do I get paid?
Within 7 days of the client paying Castmira. Clients pay 50% upfront and the balance within 14 days of the job, and you get a statement for every booking.
How much does booking cost a client?
The talent's fee plus a 20% booking fee. You see the full cost before confirming.
Who sees my details?
Once approved, your public profile in our talent gallery shows only your first or stage name, photos, videos, playing age, height, look, skills and rates. Your surname, date of birth, email, phone number, social handles and body measurements are never shown. We never sell data. See the privacy policy.
