Question 1

How much does the platform cost?

Accepted Answer

The platform is completely FREE for industry professionals. It will also be FREE for actors to see the noticeboard of castings, audition for roles and upload one headshot & a video clip. In order to upload a wide range of headshots and videos, as well as get access to premium areas of the website and exclusive partner discounts, actors will need a premium membership which costs £7.99 PCM if paid annually or £9.99 PCM if paid monthly.

Question 2

Can I upload audition tapes for my clients?

Accepted Answer

The quickest way to manage your clients self-tapes is simply for your client to upload the tape by following the submission link. You will then receieve a notification to check the tape before submitting it, or asking them to tape again. Once you have approved the tape, it will go into the casting director's shortlist. You do not need an agency account in order to approve your client's tape. Click here for a handy video guide to show you how it works.   If you do want to submit the tape yourself, you can do so by following the submission link, selecting 'agent' and uploading the tape from there.

Question 3

How do you keep the quality of actors high?

Accepted Answer

Our Intelligent Casting tool (explained in our intelligent casting tool answer below) ensures that the best actors appear at the top of your search. Therefore, rather than disqualifying actors from the platform based on their credits or training, actors are simply ranked based upon how well their videos are received by our highly vetted list of industry professionals.   This hugely increases accessibility, making sure that whatever an actor or your client’s background, if they are of a high quality, they have a platform upon which to be seen by industry professionals.

Question 4

How do you keep the quality of Industry Professionals high?

Accepted Answer

We have a very strict vetting process in order to control which industry professionals are allowed to use the platform. Our selection criteria is based on the professional’s concrete industry experience and/or membership of industry bodies and unions (e.g. The PMA).

Question 5

Will I have access to the messaging feature?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We want to make your workflow as efficient and easy as possible. Therefore once the messaging feature is live, you can directly contact your clients on the platform and they will be notified when you do. If they do not respond, they will receive another notification via email - we hope to put an end to chasing your clients again and again in order to let them know they have a casting or an email.

Question 6

Can I contact actors that aren’t on my books?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the same way that we want casting directors to be able to find up and coming talent to cast, we’re just as committed to helping agencies to find the very best talent to represent as easily as possible.

Question 7

How will you keep the quality of castings high?

Accepted Answer

All castings will be paid equity minimum rates as a minimum. We will also have a manual vetting process for any castings being displayed on the noticeboard.

Question 8

Can I apply for roles for my actors?

Accepted Answer

We recently launched 'The Box' which allows performers to apply for roles that they are eligible for - based on the casting breakdown. At the moment, the only way to apply for your clients is to be logged in to their account. However, we are currently building the ability to apply for roles for any your clients through your own account.
