Real people casting is at the heart of many commercial productions. Audiences want to see people they can recognise and relate to, and authentic casting can make a story feel natural, believable and engaging.

At Thea Meulenberg Casting, we specialise in real people casting for commercials, advertising campaigns, branded content, photography and online productions. Our talent includes authentic and relatable people of different ages, appearances, backgrounds, cultures and personalities.

We look beyond a traditional model or actor profile to find people who bring natural energy, character and authenticity to a production.

Diversity and authentic representation are an important part of modern commercial casting. Our talent pool includes people of different ages, sizes, appearances, cultural backgrounds, nationalities and languages.

Whether you are looking for a specific profile or a diverse group of people for a campaign, we can help you find talent that fits your creative concept and audience.

Our real people casting can include families, couples, friends, distinctive characters and people with specific skills, professions or backgrounds.

We also provide BIPOC casting, with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour talent represented in our casting pool. For productions in the Netherlands and internationally, we can help you find authentic BIPOC actors, models and real people based on your specific brief, including requirements relating to appearance, age, cultural background, language or skills.
