You can now add custom Actors to an Eco Cast self tape audition, and send them an invitation to their email, even if they do not yet have an active profile in our system.

3) Click +Add Actors.



4) Enter the Actor’s name, then click Search.



5) Click the Actor’s name under Search Results on the left hand side.

Send Custom Actors An Eco Cast Invitation


1) Once you have added a Custom Actor to an Eco Cast, Scroll through the Attached Actors tab to find the Actor (or Search the Actor Name under Filters), then click the checkmark next to the Actor’s Profile, in order to select them.



2) Select Create Invitation under With Selected.



3) Select an Invitation from the dropdown menu.


Select Create New if you would like to set up a new invitation, instead of adding the Actor to an existing invitation.



4) Select Invite. An invitation will be sent to the email address you provided for the Custom Actor.



Note: If you haven’t previously entered an email address for this Actor, you will now be prompted to include one. An email address is required to send them the self-tape invitation.


5) Click Continue to close the notification pane.



6) If the Actor does not receive an invitation email, or you sent the invitation to the wrong email, scroll through the Attached Actors tab to find the Actor (or Search the Actor Name under Filters), click on the Actor’s profile, then click Resend.



7) Edit the Email, if necessary, then select Send. A new copy of the invitation will be emailed to the Actor.
