Graduating Student Account Set Up Instructions. Welcome to Casting Workbook. This guide will give you step by step instructions on how to set up your new Casting Workbook Premium Account.

1 Graduating Student Account Set Up Instructions. Welcome to Casting Workbook. This guide will give you step by step instructions on how to set up your new Casting Workbook Premium Account. THE PROCESS (School Listing, Personal Fan Site and Talent Scout) SCHOOL LISTING In order for your school to promote you on Casting Workbook in the Featured Acting Schools Section you need to load in your materials (photos, resume, profile information, demo reels/clips and audio). Your account has been set up so that your portfolio IS NOT LIVE. This means that only the school co-ordinator can view your information at this time. Casting Directors and Agents cannot. You can take your time to upload your portfolio materials and not worry about the industry seeing your incomplete account. When the school verifies that all student portfolios are complete, we will activate the school listing so Casting Directors and Talent Agents can view portfolios of students at the school. Please Note: DO NOT start submitting yourself to LIVE Breakdowns on Casting Workbook at this time. You must wait until your account is fully activated and you are listed in the Talent Scout (see next page). BUILDING YOUR PERSONAL WEBSITE Every Casting Workbook Actor can create a free personal website or fan site. Fan Sites are separate from the main Casting Workbook in that Casting and Agents do not see them when they search you on the main submission system. Fan Sites are designed to give you a place to show your personality, upload set still photographs and build a representation of who you are above and beyond your professional headshot and resume. You can choose different style templates, specify your own personal website name (johndoe.workbooklive.com or karatepro.workbooklive.com) and reference the site on your resume (if you wish) on business cards or postcards. This free service can save you time and money. Information that is on your main casting workbook account is transferred to your personal fan site when you activate it on your welcome screen after you login. We recommend you hold off activating your personal website until after you load your main portfolio materials. You can turn on or turn off your personal website at any time. To start your personal website, click on the Workbook Live links at the bottom right of your welcome page when you log into your account. TALENT SCOUT When you are ready to join the workforce (be searchable by casting and agents) we will add your account to the Casting Workbook Talent Scout. Talent Scout means you are not represented and looking for an agent. If you become represented, we will add you to your new agent s roster. Once you join Talent Scout or an agent s roster your portfolio will become fully searchable and you will be regarded as available to work. You may start doing-self submissions to breakdowns at this time. Please update your resume on the school side of the system to reflect that you are represented when this happens.
