About Fanani Network
History
For more than 1 year, Fanani has been the most trusted place for actors to find career advice and casting information.
Started in December 2011 by Titus Julius and Nehemia Daudi, Fanani quickly became required reading for every young actor who came to East Africa to cut their teeth. The newspaper's original blue-and-red logo became as synonymous with EA actors as a class at The Actors Studio.
Fanani, was launched in 2011, and Fananinetwork.Tk came to life in 2013.
Today, the Fanani brand signifies something greater than simply casting notices: Fanani is a place where actors, singers and dancers can connect with the greater performing arts community.
More importantly, Fanani is where performers can get all the information they need to succeed in the entertainment business. Actors browse through our weekly newspaper, checking updated production listings or reading our periodic spotlights on photography, college programs, acting schools and coaches. Or they check our many interactive online features, from news, reviews, and advice columns to a vibrant message board, weblogs, video, and much more.
And, of course, actors browse through our Cast shop.
Auditions
Fanani takes pride in having the most up-to-date technology, whether you are creating a multimedia resume or viewing casting notices. Upload your resume, post photos, upload a reel - all can be done with the touch of a button.
But none of that technology means anything without the job listings. And we have the best notices in the business.
Fanani publishes between 50 to 100 top audition notices each week for every type of performance: film, stage, TV, commercials, multimedia, dance, voiceovers, singing, and more. Included are opportunities for both adults and children. Plus, we offer ads seeking people in related fields, such as stage/film crews, models, musicians, and writers.
Besides performance hubs Nairobi and Dar es salaam, we publish notices for dozens of other cities across the East African countries. Simply search by City or Country and job type to see what's available in your area.
Note: You do NOT need to be a subscriber to search our listings. To view complete notices, however, requires a Fanani Network Online subscription.
Protecting Actors
Actors are, unfortunately, highly vulnerable to all kinds of sleazy operators and scam artists. Backstage takes particular pride in trying to prevent that.
We offer every actor our unique Backstage Casting Pledge: We check out all casting notices before we publish them.
We never simply publish a casting notice as submitted. We ask questions, check references, and refuse to publish calls that seem less than reputable. No other publication takes the steps we do to protect actors.
For instance, we ask production companies whether roles are paid or not; if roles require nudity; whether they are seeking union or nonunion actors (and if it's union, under which contract); and so forth. We refuse to publish casting calls for pornography, or for projects that ask for exorbitant fees or for the actor to purchase headshots or classes to participate. (If a modest fee is requested, we'll include exactly what's expected in the casting notice.)
You should never go into an audition wondering if the person behind that door will try to take your money - or worse.
If you find that a casting notice or ad in Fanani is actually a scam or deliberately misleading, please let Fanani know ASAP. Fanani takes complaints very seriously.
We want to empower actors by supplying the most complete information possible about a project, so you know exactly what to expect at an audition before you attend. Then, if you are told something completely different, Contact us immediately, and we'll investigate.
Fanani works hard every day to be an actor's most trusted daily resource. Join Us Today!
