casting requirements to
find a suitable newcomer
that fits the bill.

Or if you are seeking representation, agencies can recruit you as a new client. With the contact form, they can send you a detailed message with up to 3 attachments. Once the 'Send' button has been clicked, the message will arrive in your Inbox.
You can also choose to have these messages
forwarded to your email address by turning Email Notification 'On'.
You (or your agent) can reply directly to the sender
and a copy of all communication will be kept in your Sent Mail folder.

Casting
Invites
•
Auditions •
|
 |
|
|
|
This 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. They
can print this list and
use it as a schedule for
the day.
|
|
Receive Casting
Invites
Casting directors can
invite you to attend a
casting / audition by
simply clicking the
‘Invite to Casting’
button on your 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 agent) 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). Their agent will
be notified instantly when
they respond.

personnel in an email
eliminating the need to
send large attachments.
You may also link to
your page from other
websites.

|
Privacy &
Settings
Your profile page can only be accessed by registered casting professionals
(or by people with whom you share your Viewing PIN). However, you also have full control over who can see your basic listing.
You can make your basic listing visible to all users to increase exposure without divulging personal information (eg: using an alias or your first name only) and your profile will always be kept private. However, you can also choose to hide your basic listing from the search results at any time and make it visible to 'Registered Users Only' when they are logged in to their account. It's entirely up to you!
