Freelance Artists Seeking Representation

Once you have successfully prepared your on-line portfolio you can peruse the extensive database of professional agents in your area and electronically send your profile to the agent of your choice, requesting representation. Your complete profile is now in the hands of the agent where he or she evaluates your portfolio for suitability. Should they wish to represent you, you are immediately added to the agent's artists' roster and become exposed to the all the jobs that your agent receives.

Communications

Being able to effectively communicate with your agent and other industry participants is critical to you. The eCaster system has adopted and implemented every electronic communication method available.  eCaster enables you to send messages to individual or multiple network members via email and sms with a message receipt option to ensure that your message is received.

Artist Submissions

The Artist Submission function effectively and efficiently allows your agent to submit one or more artists' profiles electronically in response to breakdowns received via the eCaster system or via other means. Your agent can perform profile submissions using a variety of secure and quick methods. Artist submissions can be sent within the eCaster system to network members or your thumbnail images can be embedded in an email format which displays your critical information beside the image. Should the client require more information about you, they can simply click on the thumbnail image and your detailed profile can be viewed via the client’s web browser.

Artist Scheduler

Each artist has an individual scheduler which can be updated at anytime from anywhere by you and your agent so you can add details about meetings, auditions, callbacks, jobs or to block out time when you aren't available. Comprehensive "real time" reports are produced to provide daily work schedules, availability and non-availability reports.

eProject

eProject is an integral part of the system as it maintains all detailed and relevant information pertaining to the job. Such information includes details about the client, the producer, advertising agency, photographer, job location, audition, call back and job dates as well as locations, wardrobe, stylist information and of course the role breakdown.

The benefit of this system is that clients can catalogue all submissions from numerous agents (including yours) effectively within the job card. Here the client can view and select which artists he/she wishes to electronically "bump-up" to audition, call-back and job level. When the client bumps the artist to the respective levels the agent is instantaneously notified by the eCaster system together with all relevant information pertaining to the job e.g. suggested appointment times. By viewing the job card, the booking agent can immediately identify which of their artists are selected and at what stage of the booking process. If you were successful for a job, your booking agent can effectively communicate all job and appointment details.

The eProject job card system also maintains scripts and sides for each role that both your agent and you can access on-line. Once completed the eProject job card is archived by the system and can be viewed for future reference. In addition details regarding the job are logged the system for you to obtain activity reporting.
