"The Virtual Studio has turned out to be an amazing solution for what we do."

"The virtual studio has turned out to be an amazing solution for what we do," says Casting Director Terence Yawa loves working in The Kayos Virtual Studio because it allows for a casting process that is engaging and convenient for everyone involved.

Terence can also cast talent in The Virtual Studio no matter where they are, meaning no-one misses an opportunity to cast for a job: "and that's our primary goal as casting directors - to source the best talent... and ultimately get the best person fit for the job for our client."

"We've really been able to retain as close a connection with the talent in the Kayos Virtual Studio as we would in the physical studio."

Casting Director Monique Murray reflects on her experience working with actors in The Kayos Virtual Studio. She highlights how The Virtual Studio opens the casting room to actors who might not be able to attend live castings.


It also creates a safe meeting space for the actor and casting director where both can focus on building relationships and producing an excellent performance for the client. When we asked Monique what she's enjoyed most about this the last few months she said: "We've really been able to retain as close a connection with the talent in the Kayos Virtual Studio as we would in the physical studio. So, in fact, on some levels it's been even more connected than the physical process."

"Besides being the safest way for us to audition in the context of a global pandemic, the Kayos Virtual Studio allows me to do my job as a casting director effectively and without wasting time."

Casting Director Chris Geils shares why he loves working with actors in The Kayos Virtual Studio: "Besides being the safest way for us to audition in the context of a global pandemic, the Kayos Virtual Studio allows me to do my job as a casting director effectively and without wasting time."

Rather than having to organise another take with an agent if an actor's performance needs to be tweaked, Chris can work directly with the actor to streamline the audition process: "it is as close to a physical casting as possible, but everything is done virtually...and by the time the talent leave the Kayos Virtual Studio space, we have a clip that I can share immediately with my client."
