Agency
Automatic
Let
your agency
run itself!
With this
innovative
feature,
agencies and
schools can
choose to add
an additional
set of contact
details for
clients to be
used when
their office
is unattended.
This allows
casting users
to contact
members for
the sole
purpose of
arranging
casting
appointments,
but all offers
of work,
contracts,
payments and
negotiations
must be
communicated
directly to
you, their
Agent. You
have full
control over
when this
information is
displayed. You
can set the
terms,
required rate
of pay and the
times of use.
This is an
invaluable
feature which
keeps your
agency running
even when
you're not
there. This
also allows
casting users
to organize
castings at
short notice,
during
holidays or
over the
weekend.

makes the
casting
directors job
a whole lot
easier as they
will receive a
full list of
candidates who
are confirmed
for a casting
in the order
that they will
be arriving.

Casting
Invites
Casting
directors can
invite your
clients to
attend a
casting /
audition by
simply
clicking the
‘Invite to
Casting’
button on
their profile.
You will
receive the
full details
of the
appointment
with a message
from the
casting
director and
any relevant
attachments
such as
audition
scripts, etc.
You (or your
client) can
respond to the
invite by
clicking
‘Confirm’,
‘Decline’ or
request a new
time from the
casting
director.
This
also greatly
reduces the
amount of work
for agents as
clients can
confirm
themselves for
a casting and
will already
have the full
details of the
appointment
(even if it is
outside agency
office hours).
You, as their
agent, will be
notified
instantly when
they respond.
