The National Film Authority (NFA) has cautioned aspiring actors and filmmakers against fraudulent audition calls that require participants to pay before they can showcase their talent.

In a public disclaimer shared on its social media platforms and by its Executive Secretary, Kafui Danku, on July 23, 2026, the NFA stressed that genuine auditions should be free and serve as opportunities for talent to demonstrate their abilities.

“A genuine audition is an opportunity to showcase your talent, not something you should pay for. Legitimate casting calls do not require an audition fee,” the Authority stated.

It urged the public to verify audition announcements and remain cautious of individuals or groups demanding payment prior to participation.

“Stay informed, verify casting announcements, and be cautious of anyone demanding payment before you can audition,” it added.

The NFA reiterated that talent should be the sole basis for opportunities in the film industry, adding, “Talent earns opportunities. It shouldn't be bought.”

The disclaimer follows continuous reports of aspiring actors being made to pay exorbitant fees before auditioning for movie roles.
