On your Deck you should see the Create Project button where you can add a Project Title, Description and any images relating to the Project.

Once you’ve created your Project, the system will invite you to start adding Roles to your Project. You can create as many Roles as is necessary for your Project.

A participant is either another member of your Casting Team, for example, your casting associate or assistant. Another participant could also be a Creative Partner, for example, your director, producer or client.

Actors can only upload a Tape for a Role if they’ve been invited to by the Casting Team. Each Role within a Project has a unique Upload Link, which you or someone from the Casting Team can send to the Actor via their Agent along with the sides and all other relevant information regarding the tape.

You can change the status of a Role by clicking the Change Role Status button, where you can choose from Recalls, Under Offer or Cast. This will notify anyone who has uploaded a Tape that the Role Status has changed.

There are three ways a Creative can view the Tape:
■ Once they’ve been added as a Creative to a Project, they can create a TapeDeck profile and all their relevant Projects and the Roles within it will be viewable on their own Deck. They can sign in and view the Tapes.
■ You can send a shortlist of Favourited Tapes to the Creative by clicking the Share Favourites button and entering their email.
■ You can send an individual Tape by pressing the Share This Tape button on the Tape Overview page on a specific Tape then enter the email of the recipient.
