Photo Upload
Before
you upload your pictures:
- If
possible, please select professional headshots and
poses for your primary and secondary images. The
next best thing is to use a good quality headshot
photo of yourself.
- Do
not use web cam photos as the quality is poor.
- Do
not use group photos (the casting director won’t
know which person is you!)
- Do
not use photos in which your face is obstructed
by an object (hats, hands, sunglasses, etc.)
- Do
not use photos containing nudity of any kind.
- Do
not use photos containing animals.
- Make
sure that you use a current photo.

Your Picture Has Been
Reviewed
If
you received an email labeled “Your Picture
Has Been Reviewed,” it is referring to an image
that you uploaded and was rejected for one reason
or another. More than likely the image was corrupted.
This means that the upload may have timed out before
the image was sent to us and therefore is not viewable.
Other
reasons for rejection:
- Photo
contains nudity.
- Photo
may be too small or incorrectly cropped.
- Photo
contains people other than yourself.
- Photo
is irrelevant, of someone else, or is an inanimate
object.

Casting
Calendar
Your
casting calendar is one of the most effective tools
on your Explore Talent website. As a Pro Member, you
can use your calendar to keep up-to-date on all the
auditions Explore Talent has submitted you for.
The
calendar is also how you will view audition notices
for open calls and submit your profile to casting
directors. Open audition notices will be clearly marked
at the top of each submission. If no address, phone
number, or instruction for response are provided,
then you do not need to do anything. The casting director
or photographer will call you when they wish to see
you or to schedule your audition.
The
auditions listed on your casting calendar notifies
you that your preferences/model information matches
a casting or project on file with us. (NOTE: You must
be a Pro Member to get any further information about
the casting or project.)
(Pro
Members) On a date that you were submitted for an
audition, you will see the word “Submission”.
This is to let you know that your image, either hard
copy or electronic, was submitted to a casting director
for consideration.
Click
on the word “Submission” and you will
get all the project information available to you including
the name and type of project, union status, rate and
all roles that are being cast. When applicable, you’ll
also get audition dates, shoot dates, location, and
production company information.
There
are three different types of auditions you will find
on your calendar:
- Request
Audition -- Your profile is submitted to a casting
director for consideration. If they are interested
in calling you for an audition, they will contact
us, requesting you. From there, we will contact
you.
- Self-Response
Notification -- When you click on “Submission”
you will get information about a project in the
casting process. In this case, you will receive
an email address or phone number to contact the
casting office directly, should you be interested
in the project. This will be clearly stated on the
casting notice.
- Open
Call -- An address and time will be provided for
you to attend the audition. You may participate
in the audition merely by showing up at the appropriate
place and time, as guided.
Each
time our team of in-house booking and submission representatives
submit you to a casting, it appears automatically
on your casting calendar. This allows you to constantly
monitor your profile performance in real-time. The
days that are marked “Submission” are
the days that you were submitted for castings by us.
NOTE:
If you are a Pro Member and do not have any submissions
on your calendar or you have not been automatically
matched with a casting that matches your model information,
verify that your profile contains all of your information,
including: age, height, gender, etc. Also, make sure
your casting preferences are updated, including the
3 markets that you are willing to travel to. You may
contact the Customer Service Department at (800) 598-7500
for assistance.
