Game Casting Joins Elite Ranks
3 Jun
Summary
- Video game casting is now a membership category by the Casting Society.
- Professionals involved with voice, motion, or performance capture can apply.
- This change acknowledges significant contributions in interactive media.
The Casting Society (CSA) has established video game casting as a new membership qualification category. This significant update allows professionals who have worked in senior roles within game casting, including directors, managers, and producers, to be eligible for CSA membership.
To qualify, applicants must have experience with voice over, motion capture, or performance capture on released video game titles. Associate casting directors are also included with similar eligibility requirements. This initiative aims to clarify and officially recognize the role of casting direction within the burgeoning video game industry.
This integration means approved members will hold the same status and obligations as those in film, television, theatre, and commercial casting. CSA President Destiny Lilly stated that this reflects the organization's commitment to recognizing excellence across all performance media and acknowledges the vital role of casting professionals in interactive entertainment.
