CASTING DIRECTORS: How do I create requests?

This article is for Casting Directors using Casting Networks who want to send requests to talent. Requests allow you to ask questions or collect media directly from talent within a project. Read on to find out how to set up each type of request and get the most out of this feature.

Follow these steps to send a request to talent from within a project:

1. Click on the project name.

2. Click on Requests below the project name.

3. Click on New Request.

   

4. Choose Question Request or Media Request.

   

   
   

A new page will appear with a form to complete. Fill in the following:

• Request name

• Your question

• Option to include sides previously uploaded to the talent's role

• Ability to add selected talent to the request

Once the form is filled out, click Send Request.

A new page will appear with a form to complete. Fill in the following:

• Request name

• Media types (video, audio, photo, and PDF)

• Media instructions

• Option to include sides

• Ability to add specific talent to the request

Once the form is filled out, click Send Request.

Please note: Talent can upload a total of 10 media files per request.

Helpful Tip: Both request types allow you to include a message to representatives that will not be visible to talent.

Can I send a Media Request and a Question Request at the same time?

You do not have the option to send both types at the same time. If you want to request media and ask talent a question, we recommend sending a Media Request. You can add your question to the Media Instructions field. Talent also have the opportunity to include a note with their media submission, which can be used to answer questions or share additional information.
