Not what you imagined? Remix it!
Remix this castKeep track of characters
It can be hard to remember who's who when you're three plotlines deep into a novel.
Casting helps you keep it straight and vividly imagine scenes.
Cast anyone
Actors, sure, but also musicians, athletes, your old roommate, or even your Uncle Gary with the weird beard.
Can't think of anyone? Let Typecaster suggest actors that might be a good fit.
Public or private
Make your casts public to make them discoverable and allow others to remix them.
Or keep them private for your own personal reference.
How it works
- 1
Search for a book
Search for it. The cover, author, and description fill themselves in.
- 2
Review the characters
You get the main cast as a list, ready to fill. Add anyone missing.
- 3
Put a face to each one
Search actors or upload a photo of whoever you actually pictured.
It's all free.
Typecaster is free. No ads, no tracking, no subscription tier waiting behind a door. I am not building a startup here.
I made this because I kept losing track of who's who in novels, and pinning a face to each character helped. (It's also fun.)
If it ever costs real money to keep running, I will say so on this page before anything changes.
