Casting Policy

The Grey Hill seeks to employ the best talent for our advertised roles.  We are committed to supporting the artists that we work with and engaging a diverse and inclusive cast that promotes the producing values that we want to share with our audiences.  We aim to achieve greater diversity in gender, race, disability, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic background, faith, and age.

Diversity 

We are committed to employing the best talent for every role and supporting Scotland-based performers where possible. We strive to provide an anti-oppressive environment and do not discriminate based on a wide range of personal characteristics.

When casting culturally specific roles, we ensure that performers from that culture/lived experience are cast. Diversity in casting is our priority, including representing historically excluded groups. We provide opportunities for new graduates and performers our company hasn't worked with.

We manage the casting in-house and will mention our process upfront during the casting. Via our communications we will let everyone know how we cast the role that was advertised.  Role requirements are advertised via the advertised websites including our own.  All performers who audition with us receive a response. We hold at least one open call annually for new graduates and performers, with feedback provided. We offer annual free skills workshops for Scotland-based performers, prioritising historically excluded groups. We collect anonymous diversity monitoring and qualitative feedback from performers.  Our policy emphasises our commitment to equity, inclusion, and ongoing dialogue with performers to remove barriers and improve our casting practices. We welcome feedback as our policy evolves in collaboration with our communities.

Auditions

All auditions will be advertised to our members via our website, Creative Scotland Opportunities, Mandy.com, and Social Media channels. As we are Scottish-based, we email Scottish Stage and Television agents with links to our casting page for them to forward to their clients.

Introductory Meetings

We hold regular general meetings with artists, available on request where we are both available to meet.  We hold annual general group meetings online to introduce our company to you.  If you wish to arrange a general meeting, please get in touch with us via the chat button.

Contact

Our preferred method is via our chat icon on our website; please include a CV or Spotlight Link.
