TALENT REPRESENTATIVE: How Does FastCapture Live Work for My Talent?
FastCapture Live is a virtual audition feature integrated directly into Casting Networks, designed to create a simple and seamless online audition experience for your talent. This guide provides you with the essential information you need to know to support your clients through the process.
What is FastCapture Live?
FastCapture Live is a streamlined tool for online auditions. Here are the key features:
No Extra Software: Talent does not need to download any new applications or navigate to external websites. The entire audition process is handled within their Casting Networks account.
Easy Scheduling: Casting directors will send audition requests directly to your talent, who can then join the virtual audition through that request.
Simple Interface: The system is user-friendly. Talent will enter a virtual waiting room and be admitted by the casting director when it is their turn.
How Does My Talent Access Their Audition?
Your talent will follow these steps to join their FastCapture Live session:
They will receive an audition request from the casting director, which will appear in the Your Alerts section of their Casting Networks account.
Inside the request, they will find and click the link to Launch Session.
A new screen will allow them to confirm their display name and select their preferred camera and microphone sources.
After clicking Join, they will be placed in the virtual waiting room until the casting director admits them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I access the FastCapture Live audition link on behalf of my talent?
No. Each of your talent will receive their own unique FastCapture Live link for their audition. This link is only accessible from within the "Your Alerts" section of the talent's personal Casting Networks account. You will not be able to access this link on their behalf. Please ensure your clients are aware that they must log in to their own accounts to start their audition.
What technical preparations should I advise my talent to make?
Advise your talent to test their internet connection, camera, and microphone before the audition. They can use external devices, and these can be selected or changed before or during the session in the settings.
How can my talent communicate with the casting director if they have an issue?
Remind your talent about the chat feature, which they can use to communicate with the casting director if they experience audio problems or have questions during the audition process.
