Talent Systems
  • Updated

This article is for clients and collaborators who have received a presentation link from casting. It covers how to view audition media, leave feedback, and generate reports directly from your browser.

Dark Mode and Light Mode

By default, all presentations load in "Dark Mode." However, you can easily switch to "Light Mode" based on your viewing preference. To activate Light Mode, simply click the circle icon (half white/half black) located on the right-hand side of the presentation.

A screenshot of a web page for a casting session titled "Fanta Commercial Day 6 Session." The page is for "Imaginary Casting - AU" and shows a section listing "1 Folder" named "Self Tape" with details: "1 Group" and "1 Talent." An arrow points from the right side of the screen toward a circular icon to the right of the "Report" button, suggesting a clickable action or setting related to the folder/list.

The main area says "Welcome," and "Here are the auditions from Imaginary Casting - AU. Please click on a folder below to view." Below a horizontal rule, it lists "1 Folder," which is a folder named "Self Tape" containing "1 Group" and "1 Talent." To the right, there is a blue button labeled "Report" with a dropdown arrow, and next to it, a small circular icon with a vertical line through the middle (which is highlighted by a red arrow and red box). 
 

Viewing Talent in a Presentation

Navigating Folders

Click on any folder to view its contents.

A screenshot of a presentation-style webpage titled "PROJECT Dell PRESENTATION Director." The logo for "Imaginary Casting - AU" is in the top right corner. The text reads: "Welcome, Here are the auditions from Imaginary Casting - AU. Please click on a folder below to view. This presentation will be available until May 29, 2021." Below this is a section labeled "3 Folders." The three folders are listed with counts: "Self Tapes - Husband" (2 Groups, 2 Talent), "Self Tapes - Wife" (4 Groups, 3 Talent), and "Day 1" (9 Groups, 8 Talent). All three folder entries are highlighted with a red rectangular box. 
 

You can filter your view by:

  • Folders
  • Roles
  • Comments
  • Picks

A screenshot showing a vertical filter panel with four main filter fields: **Folders**, **Roles**, **Comments**, and **Picks**. Each field has an empty dropdown menu beneath its label. At the top of the panel, there is a prominent blue button labeled "**Filter**" with a funnel icon, and next to it, a dark gray pill-shaped tag labeled "**Folders**" with an 'x' to close it. To the right of the tag, the word "**Clear**" appears in blue. A large blue button labeled "**Filter**" is located at the bottom of the panel. 
 

Viewing Media and Leaving Feedback

Click on any thumbnail to view the video.

Note: You can select Auto Play here to automatically play the next video in the sequence.

To make a pick or leave feedback:

Simply select the Thumbs-Up icon or type your notes into the Leave Feedback bubble and press Post.

A feedback section showing a **Like** button with **0** likes and a **Comment** icon with **1** comment. Below it, the text "Leave Feedback" is displayed next to an empty text input field and a blue **Post** button. 
 

The first time you leave feedback, the system will ask you to enter your name. Subsequent feedback will be automatically labeled with your name.

A dialog box titled **"Provide Your Name"** with the introductory text: "Your name is required to make picks or leave comments." Below that is a text field labeled **"Your Name\*"** that contains the pre-filled name "Millie" and notes a "50 Character limit." At the bottom are two buttons: "Cancel" and a prominent blue "Save" button. 
 

Proceed to view media and leave feedback for Casting!

The folder listed is "Self Tape," and it shows "1 Group" and "1 Talent." In the top right corner is a logo for "Imaginary Casting - A."
