When you get a Callback for a project and you Create A New Roundwithin theAuditions Overview Screenyou will notice that the Audition Round drop down menu automatically eliminates the previous Audition Round(s) from the menu...
...only giving you the option to select from the remaining Audition Round(s) available. The SmartRound™ Feature also populates key project information for each Callback Round you are brought in on so you don’t have to – a true time saver!!!
Now all there is left to do is enter any and all new information pertaining to this project's Audition Round on the Audition Form.
Enter the title in the Project Title field box. A Project Title is required on every Audition Form. So, if the project is yet to be titled, you must enter something like "Untitled", "To Be Determined", "To Be Announced", etc.
As an added feature, after you select the Project Type you can thenassign Project Details to it.
For example, if you select TV as the Project Type, you will see that the ProjectDetails drop down menu accommodates categories associated with the Television Industry (i.e. - Cable, Episodic, M.O.W, etc.)
No matter what Project Type you select, whether it be Background, VO or Music Video, the contents of the ProjectDetails drop down menu will dynamically change to reflect the chosen Project Type.
Rather than having to enter an address every time you log an appointment, PerformerTrack memorizes Locations and allows you to manage them with ease!
This way if you find yourself going to audition for the same Casting Director often then all you will need to do is enter their Location once into the system and it will always be there - ready for you to select from the Audition Location drop down menu!
