TALENT: How Do I Navigate the Casting Billboard®?

This article is for Talent on Casting Networks.

We'll cover how to save, manage, and use these filters, including the Open Call filter. We will also review the submission workflow.

The filters on Casting Billboard® help show you roles that are a good fit. By default, your Casting Billboard® is filtered by your age range, gender appearance, and location. You can further filter by project type, role type, and more. Saving your search filters allows you to easily find roles with your set preferences every time.

Why are my filters reset when I leave the Casting Billboard®?

Standard filters are reset when you navigate away from the Casting Billboard® main page. To keep your preferred filters active for future visits, you must save them using the ‘+ Save this Search’ feature described above.

When I try to submit, why does it say I need a personal profile?

To submit to roles on Casting Billboard®, you need both a personal profile (one not managed by an agent or manager) and an active Premium Membership. If you see this message, you can create a personal profile by clicking Yes, create this personal profile on the pop-up window.

You will then have the option to Copy an Existing Profile (to transfer credits, stats, and information) or Create New Profile from scratch. Once your personal profile is created and you have an active Premium Membership, you will be able to submit to roles.

When I try to submit, why is it asking me to upgrade to a Premium Membership?

An active Premium Membership is required to submit to roles posted on Casting Billboard®. If you are trying to submit without an active membership, you will be prompted to upgrade.

To upgrade, click the Premium Membership link and then choose Select Your Membership. You can toggle between paying annually or monthly with the switch in the upper right-hand corner.

If you already have an active Premium Membership and are still unable to submit to roles, please reach out to our Support Team for assistance.
