Our new policy of not allowing SELF-TAPES at stage 1 is succeeding! An employer tried to request it with initial applications but we explained our new policy.
Instead they received applications, reviewed & filtered 188 down to 12 & only requested self-tapes from the short-list!

I still get angry every time I see these numbers. 🤬🤬
No other industry makes candidates pay to apply to work. It's not inclusive, fair, accessible or diverse. It's wrong on so many levels!
We're on a mission to make access to castings FREE.
Actors shouldn't be made to pay.

Actors, thank you for you feedback. You've spoken, we've listened!
As of today:
- We've STOPPED EMPLOYERS FROM REQUESTING SELF-TAPES with initial applications.
We'd love other casting sites to follow suit in support of actors.

VOICEOVER ACTORS... You asked & we will provide! A "FREEE service for Voiceover artists in early 2024". If you have any thoughts, must have features, good / bad examples from other VO websites, now is the time to speak up. we're building it for you and welcome your input.

Managed to convince two employers who were requesting SELF-TAPES with the initial application, to go a different route and review applications first. Only sending self-tape requests to short-listed actors... I'm considering that a WIN!

Keep those eye's peeled for emails...We've noticed that a very well known actor agency is viewing showreels on the site and sending out meeting requests to discuss representation... This is what makes it all worth while for us, big smile at CC today 😁😁😁😁

It's bank holiday... A great time for a reminder of what we're trying to achieve. It blows my mind (in a bad way) that UK actors can't even see casting opportunities unless they pay a subscription fee to a casting service. We're on a mission to change this and make it FREE!

An update and huge thank you for all of the support since our launch. Today we had our 5k actor sign up. Add to that over 130 CD's / Production companies & 60 agents (in only 2.5 months) & it's safe to say we might be on to something! Together we can make access to castings FREE!

Also true for actors. Youth are pressured to "succeed" before they get "too old" & older actors told they're past their prime or it's too late to start!
Why be obsessed with age? Why set limits? Age has much less impact on success than dedication, courage, passion & kindness...

ACTORS... IT'S LOOKING UP!
Whether it's more CD's finally getting our fair & inclusive message, or whether it's an upturn in the industry, we're seeing more castings, self-tapes & job offers going out lately.
If it's been slow for you... stay strong, the tide is turning!

In no other industry do job seekers have to pay a fee to access job opportunities. Why? Because it's unfair, it limits inclusion, access, social mobility & diversity. Yet we've accepted it in the acting industry for years. It's time for change.Access to castings should be FREE!

@LucyRichAgent
The worst thing of all is that those 10k unrepresented actors (and I suspect the figure is actually more than double that) have to pay the same fee as represented talent...but only get access to 20-30% of the jobs. The rest are restricted to agent only.

In these times of crisis I can’t believe we have actors worried they are going to miss out on work because
@SpotlightUK
are promoting a near £300 premiere membership.
How can this be fair? Are actors only paying £183 not going to be taken seriously? Genuinely upset by this.

Posted a casting looking for "real Farmers"
We added "Please don't apply unless you have real life farm experience"
Just to be safe we added "Please tick to confirm you have farm experience"
First application... "I don't have any farm experience but I'd be great for this" 😡😡

Glad to see a CD speaking out...In our opinion, Casting Directors are the only group that can really change this situation. Agents and actors have no choice but to pay Spotlight unless CD's choose to use alternative platforms, free one's like us!
Unless I’ve misunderstood, can’t say this sits comfy with me, a tiered
@SpotlightUK
with financial barriers to access certain support and advice, potentially creating more anxiety for actors around fear of missing out if they can’t afford top tier? 😔

A solution, far easier than a legal battle
If CD's and theatres etc. were open to using an alternative casting platform. That doesn't charge actors to apply, then Spotlights monopoly power is removed.
Actors would have access to work and wouldn't feel forced to pay the fee!

Can't help but think that Spotlight brought this on themselves by being greedy. It probably costs about £3m a year to run Spotlight, they have 100k user's (actors, agents, CD's). To break even they need everyone to pay £30 per year, yet they charge actors £184 (£10-£15m profit)!

Spotlight are taking advantage of their monopoly position. They have all the jobs and so why change? You may be better off directing these questions to casting directors. If they opted to post on free alternative sites instead of Spotlight. Spotlight would listen!
Dear
@SpotlightUK
there are a lot of artists calling for you to justify your cost and relevance in a changing industry and you have yet to comment…
This silence doesn’t sit well and doesn’t show a dedication to those that PAY for you.
Monolithic behaviour 🤷🏾♂️

This will be obvious to most of you but i still give this advice out so much!
