For talent

A new kind of casting.
For a new kind of production.

AI-generated film, advertising, and broadcast is the fastest-growing category in media — and every production needs real, licensed, paid human talent to anchor it. Synthetic faces don't pass legal review. Stolen faces don't pass audience trust.

Human & Talent is the casting agency that supplies the real ones. We represent working actors, presenters, models, and creatives to the productions paying the most for them.

  • 01

    You decide every job

    You approve every booking before money changes hands. You set the floor on what you'll accept. You exclude what you won't work on. We never book you into anything you haven't said yes to.

  • 02

    75% to you, every time

    Industry-standard casting agency commission is typically 15–20%. Our model returns 75% of every booking fee directly to talent — 90% if you're agent-managed. Transparent. Itemised. Paid within 30 days.

  • 03

    Protected by law, by contract, by default

    Every booking is a fully-specified licence: where, how, for how long, by whom. Compliant with SAG-AFTRA's Digital Replica Rider, the EU AI Act, California §927, and UK GDPR. Revoke any time.

Why Human & Talent

Old casting. New casting.

Traditional Casting

The way it's always worked.

Talent submits to a casting brief, hopes for a callback, signs whatever the production sends over, and waits weeks or months to get paid through three intermediaries.

  • 15–20% commission, opaque deductions
  • Paper contracts, hard-copy releases
  • No standing protection of your likeness
  • Payment terms 60–90 days, sometimes longer
  • No say in how AI is used after the shoot

What working talent tells us.

"
The first agency that treats AI bookings as proper work. Clear fee, clear contract, clear rights, paid on time. This is how all casting should run.

I'd been turning down AI work for two years because the contracts were terrible. Human & Talent rewrote the standard. Now I take the jobs and keep the rights.

The fee was higher than my last three campaigns combined. The contract was clearer. I knew what I was agreeing to. And it took ten minutes to join.

Questions, answered

What you're actually asking.

01

Is there a fee to join?

No. The roster is free to join. We earn commission only when you earn — 25% on direct bookings, 10% on agent-managed bookings. No subscription, no membership fee, no upfront cost of any kind. If you never book, you never pay.
02

Do I have to accept AI work?

No. You can register, hold your provenance record, and reject every brief. Many of our roster sit in protect-only mode and never accept a booking — and that's a legitimate use of the platform. Your face is your decision.
03

Will I be replaced by AI?

No. The whole point of this work is that productions need real, licensed human talent to anchor their AI output. Synthetic AI fails legal review (EU AI Act, California §927, SAG-AFTRA), it fails E&O insurance, and audiences detect it. Real talent — your face, your voice, properly licensed — is what they pay for. The work is expanding, not contracting.
04

What happens to my face after a booking?

Whatever the licence specifies, and only that. Every booking defines the exact use, channels, territory, and duration in machine-readable form. When the licence expires, the production loses the right to use your likeness. If you revoke, downstream use is suppressed on a defined SLA, fully logged. We never promise magic untraining of model weights — but the contractual options are explicit and we walk you through them before you accept anything.
05

How much will I actually earn?

It depends on the role. Background work might be £1,500–£3,000 per project. Featured talent £3,000–£12,000 per campaign. Lead presenter roles can be £20,000+. Long-form productions and exclusivity premiums can push fees substantially higher. The fees shown on our open castings are talent net of platform commission — what you actually receive.
06

I have an agent. Does that change anything?

It makes everything easier. We integrate with Spotlight directly, and your agent can manage your roster profile alongside your other castings. Our commission drops to 10% on agent-managed talent, and your agent handles the deal terms with us as they would for any other booking.
07

How is my identity data kept secure?

UK GDPR Article 35 DPIA completed. ICO membership active. ID documents, biometric data, and contract terms stay encrypted on Google Cloud, accessible only to authorised casting parties. We use blockchain only to record cryptographic proof of consent — never your face, your voice, or your contracts.
08

What about minors?

Under-18s can only join through a parent or legal guardian, with enhanced safeguards on every stage: stricter consent, mandatory cooling-off periods, restricted use categories, and elevated review on every booking. Full guidelines available before you begin.
