How to accept an invitation to join the roster of your new representation

I already have a Casting Networks account and need to add new representation

If you already have a Casting Networks account;

  1. Select the I have an existing account button in your email invite.
    A screenshot of a Casting Networks invitation email. The headline says, 'Access Your Imaginary Agency- Training - Youth Profile'. The body text invites 'Demo Talent' to access their new profile and provides two options: a blue button that reads 'I have an existing account' and another that reads 'I need to create an account'. A footer notes that the invitation expires after 30 days.
  2. Log into your account with your email address and password.
  3. Choose which talent this new profile is for. 
    A Casting Networks screenshot titled, "Welcome to your Casting Networks profile for Youth!" Below the title, it asks, "Who is this profile for?" and displays a list of talent profiles to choose from, including "Abigail Ebden" and "Daryl Ebden," each with a small circular headshot. A third profile is blurred out. At the bottom, there is a link that says, "+ Add New Talent to This Account."
  4. Copy information from an existing profile information to your new profile. Any media you have in your Media Bank can be shared across your profiles.
    A screenshot from the Casting Networks website. The page asks, "How would you like to fill in your profile details?" below the name and headshot of a user named "Abigail Ebden." Two options are presented: a solid blue button that says "Copy an Existing Profile" and an outlined button that says "Create New Profile," with the word "OR" in between them.
  5. Choose which profile you'd like to copy to your new profile.
    A Casting Networks screenshot asks, "Which profile would you like to copy?" It displays two options: the "Personal Profile" for Abigail Ebden, shown with her headshot, and the "Active (Represented)" profile for "Imaginary Agency- Training," shown with a default icon.
  6. Enter in an email address you'd like your new talent representative to contact you at; then click Create Profile.
  7. You are able to choose which photos and video/audio clips are visible on this new profile by going to your media bank.
