A casting agency is basically a company that specializes in match making between ad agencies, film makers etc with the right talent.
Casting agencies usually have a huge database of videos, photos and resumes of individuals who want to work in show business or are looking for some cash.
They usually film the aspiring actors and actresses while performing several roles; comedy, speech, acting, singing etc. Once they receive a brief from a film maker or ad agency, they dig through their files and come up with several candidates that can fit the role.
The short listed individuals are then summoned for an audition and once they are selected, the casting agency charges a fee for their services.
