Sides are part of a script provided to Actors for use in an audition. 


Sides can be either uploaded directly to the roles on your "Submissions" page, using the "Secure Sides" function in your Breakdown Express account, or sent to the Sides department to be posted to the Sides websites (Showfax for Actors on Actors Access and/or Sides Express for Talent Representatives with Breakdown Express accounts).
