Casting Networks & Breakdown Services

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IT LOSES PEOPLE AUDITIONS EVERY SINGLE DAY.  Unless you are so well known that everyone knows your resume, you need to have proper information on digital submission websites.  We constantly see people with no resumes, old or missing photos, missing or inaccurate size information, etc., filled out so we have no way of knowing if they are right for the project.  The assumption is that they are not caring enough, or have no experience to have a resume.  We know this is not the case, but it is pure unprofessionalism at it’s finest.  It’s not up to your agent to do this for you unless they take it on themselves.  It is up to you to keep things current, properly working and up to date with proper information.  Yes, your weight, measurements are HUGELY important.  We constantly get projects that we look to these things so we don’t waste peoples time coming in.  DON’T LIE.  DON’T MAKE UP INFORMATION… just be honest, it’s who you are.  Do not mark that you can juggle and ride snowmobiles if you CANNOT.  And yes, if you can, mark the fields that are appropriate.  We NEVER know what is coming around on projects and it is the best way for us and your agent to know what you can and can’t do… and how you look currently.  I personally know people that have been on these systems for over a year and they STILL don’t have information listed or resumes listed…. And thus potentially losing auditions or bookings for things.  KEEP THEM UP TO DATE – this is your career and your responsibility.
