How to Apply to Tunceli Extra Agency?
Our agency evaluates cast applications throughout the year for those who want to be an extra from Tunceli. When there is a need for extras in various projects such as TV series, film, commercial, and short films, we select from our registered actor profiles. The more complete and updated your application is, the easier it will be for us to match you with a project.
The application process starts entirely online. It is sufficient to fill out our agency's application form, upload your current photos, and add a short self-introduction note. Instead of a detailed resume, accurately entering your face and body measurements is much more functional.
Points to Consider in Your Application
Your photos are the most critical part of your application. You need to include a clear portrait photo showing your face, with a plain and bright background, and a full-body photo. Unfiltered and unedited photos are the preferred option as they reflect you realistically.
Fill in physical information such as age range, height, weight, and eye color completely. This data is directly used to match you with the profile requested by the director during the casting process. Incomplete or incorrect information may cause your application to be overlooked.
If you have previously taken part as an extra or actor in any project, stating this provides an advantage. But being inexperienced is definitely not an obstacle; many projects also look for inexperienced extras.
What you need to prepare for the application
- Clear and current portrait photo (unfiltered)
- Full-body photo
- Accurate physical measurements (height, weight, age)
- A short introductory note or bio
- Contact information (active phone and email)
- Information about projects you have previously participated in, if any
Projects and Fee Expectations
When you are selected as an extra, you receive a fee based on the project and the number of shooting days. Fee amounts vary depending on the project's budget, shooting location, and duration. Our agency clearly shares the conditions with you before matching you with a project.
You may also receive shooting offers from outside Tunceli. Productions concentrated especially in Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir's sometimes request extras from different cities. Stating in your application that you can travel increases the opportunities available to you.

Selection Process and After
After your application is entered into the system, our team reviews your profile information. When a suitable project arises, you will be contacted directly. A separate cast process applies to each project; not being selected for one project does not mean you are excluded from consideration for another.
For some projects, a short screen test (audition) may be requested. This is usually done to gauge your on-camera experience and assess your compatibility with the director's expectations. Expressing yourself comfortably and naturally is much more valuable than technical skill.
After submitting your application, remember to keep your profile information updated. If changes such as hair color, weight, or contact information are not reflected in the system, the matching process may be disrupted.
Can I apply as an extra from Tunceli?
Living in Tunceli does not pose any obstacle to applying. Our agency accepts applications from all over Turkey. Since the shooting location may vary depending on the project, stating that you are open to participating in shoots in different cities provides a great advantage.
I have never been an extra before, can I apply?
Yes, inexperienced applications are also evaluated. The vast majority of extra roles do not require special acting knowledge. Being comfortable in front of the camera and following the director's instructions is often sufficient.
How do I learn the result of my application?
Your profiles are actively monitored by our team. When a suitable project arises, we will inform you by calling or messaging you via the contact information you provided in your application. It is also extremely important to keep your contact information updated during this process.
How are applications made from other cities?
The process for cast applications from different cities does not change. As you can see on our Tekirdağ extra agency application page, the online application form works with the same steps for all cities.
When is the fee paid?
Fee payments are made by the project's production company and occur after the shoot. The payment period and amount will be shared with you before the project begins. Our agency clarifies this information before the shoot.
How should I prepare my photos?
A simple portrait and full-body photo taken in natural light, in everyday clothing, is sufficient. A studio photo is not mandatory; however, clear, non-blurry photos that clearly show your face are preferred. Filtered or heavily edited visuals weaken the application.
