Agency Automatic
With this innovative feature, agencies can choose to add an additional set of contact details for clients to be used when their office is unattended.

This is an invaluable feature which can help you organize castings at short notice, during holidays or over the weekend.

With the contact form, you may send a detailed message with up to 3 attachments. Once the Send button has been clicked, the message will arrive in the member’s Inbox.

The members (or their agent) can reply directly to you and
a copy of all communication will be kept in your Sent Mail folder.

You may choose to have incoming messages forwarded to your email address by turning Email Notification ‘On’.



Issue Messages & Breakdowns to Groups

You can send messages with your casting requirements to multiple members by simply entering their file numbers.

You can also send a message to members on a Short-list that you have created or members that you have 'starred'.

Alternatively, you can email all registered Agencies or select the ones you want from the Agency list.

  
Create a Mailing List
based on your Search Criteria


By clicking the 'Star All' and 'Short-list All' icons at the top of the search results page, you can add all results which match your search criteria to a Short-list or to your Starred Members. This allows you to send a casting breakdown / group message to specific members that match your specialized search criteria by simply selecting that short-list when sending the message / breakdown.



  
Casting Invites
 
 


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). Their agent will be notified instantly when they respond.

Send Casting Invites


If you wish to invite a member to a casting / audition, you may do so by simply clicking the ‘Invite to Casting’ button on their profile and completing the form.

By completing the form, you can send full details of the appointment with a detailed message and attachments such as audition scripts, etc (if necessary).

Members (or their agents) can respond to the invite by clicking ‘Confirm’, ‘Decline’ or ‘Request a New Time’.


Save Templates & Re-issue

We've thought of everything! Instead of having to re-type the message of your casting invite and re-attach audition sides, you can simply save your casting invite as a template. This will appear in a drop-down menu at the top of the page when issuing an invite. By selecting the template from the drop-down menu, all the details including Date, Time, Venue, Project, Role, your Message and Attachments will be there ready to send.

So if you wish to invite
another member to audition for the same role, it has never been easier - all you need to do is simply select the template for that role, give them a new time and click 'Send'. That's it!
 

 
Appointments

 

 
Manage your Appointments

After you have sent a casting invite, the details will be displayed in your Appointments folder. The status will initially read ‘pending’. If an invite is confirmed, this will change to ‘confirmed’ and turn green. Likewise, if an invite has been declined, cancelled or expires, the status will be shown here. You can enable email notification to keep track of all your appointment changes.

You can easily filter appointments according to their status. As a casting director, this should make your job a whole lot easier as you can view a full list of candidates who are confirmed for a casting in the order that they will be arriving. With the printer friendly version, you can easily print this list and use it as a schedule for the day.
