This article explains the various icons and symbols you will encounter when reviewing talent submissions.

Submission Icons

Below is a list of icons you may see on a talent's profile card and what they signify regarding their submission.

  • Audition History: All audition videos or media request responses for the talent within projects in your account will appear in the Audition History.

Age Indicators

There are specific indicators for minors submitted to projects.

  • The Cake Icon only appears by a talent’s name if the talent is under the age of 18.

  • You will find the talent's exact age, in years or months, to the right of the icon.

Helpful Tips

  • If an icon is grayed out by an individual talent’s submission, no relevant information is available for the talent. For example, if a talent’s resume and video/audio reel icon is gray, it indicates that the talent does not currently have a resume nor any media on their profile.
