TECHNOLOGY and the ACTORAs actors, it is your responsibility to keep your information updated at all times and be aware of which services are being utilized by the industry. Use them to your advantage!
There are many websites that offer their services to the actor; we ONLY use those that do not charge anything to the actor.
We subscribe to the "Casting Frontier" system for ALL of our commercial and industrial auditions (union and non-union).
This system has been in use around the country for a while, most of the commercial casting directors in LA use it, in New York, Beth Melsky and Donna deSeta, Donna Belajac in Pittsburgh + others.This is a FREE SERVICE to the actor. It is designed to streamline the casting process, and what/how the director sees the auditions.
EVERY ACTOR MUST be on the SYSTEM before he/she attends an audition. NO EXCEPTIONS!
It's easy:
1. Go to: www.castingfrontier.com
2. select "new profile" on left hand side
3. select Philadelphia
4. select basic profile -FREE
5. complete profile and click SAVE (and remember your user name and password so you can make changes)
6. print out page with your ID number and BAR CODE (yes, BAR CODE!- welcome to the new millenium!)
7. bring your ID number and BAR CODE with you to your audition.
This ID number will used at ANY affiliated casting facility around the country where you might audition . (Keep it in your wallet-
some actors get it laminated)
One of the many advantages is that the "size card" is already completed online with your profile- so the actor NEVER fills out
a size card again! AND the actor can always keep the profile updated with any changes (new hair color, weight change, etc)
We will take a digital photo here at the studio on the day of the audition. Again, this is FREE TO THE ACTOR!
EVERYONE AUDITIONING MUST HAVE AN ID NUMBER AND BAR CODE.
“iActor” is a free service offered to all SAG members. (sorry, only SAG members) We use “iActor” for every union job that
we work on. It is to your advantage as a SAG actor to have your information listed there. It’s also a great service for talent for
keeping dues paid, etc.
If you have not yet listed your information on iActor, please be sure to do it soon. If you are listed, please check that your most
current phone information is listed. (Some folks have mysteriously left their phone number blank)
For more information, please go to: www.sag.org. Log on and click on “iActor.”
...AND, there are a couple of other services that we use from time to time, usually on feature films. The service is chosen by
the producer or studio. If we are using one of the other services, we will tell you when you are given an appointment time for
an audition. Then you could log on, and create a profile prior to your audition. Again, any listing would be FREE for the actor.
