We receive lots of questions, especially from new members, asking how to use casting calls, travel and availability notices, and the browse tool on Model Mayhem. So, we’ve put together this quick guide that shows you how easy it is to use these very effective tools.
It’s important to understand the subtle differences and make sure you’re using the appropriate tool. Using these tools correctly will help you find jobs and/or the artists you’re looking to work with.
Using Casting Calls

Understand the differences between Casting Calls, Travel Notices and Availability Notices.
- Casting Calls are posted by people looking for specific kinds of artists to do a job.
- Travel Notices are posted by people who are traveling and will be available to work.
- Availability Notices are posted by people who are available to work.
Search Existing Castings

- Casting Calls are seeking artists
- Availability Notices advertise artists are available
Use the advanced settings to narrow down your search by date, compensation type, requirements (nudity, tattoos, piercings), members and keywords.
