This article will demonstrate how to set up both live virtual and in-person auditions within the new application manager for talent that have applied to your posted project.
Starting the Process
Once you are in your application manager and viewing the submitted talent you can click on the ellipsis on the talent card to bring up the option to request an audition as seen below:
You will now see the following modal:
You can choose to request a self-tape audition, virtual audition, or in-person audition.
Sending Requests for Virtual or In-Person Auditions
Virtual Auditions
To request a virtual audition you will need to do the following:
Enter the audition date and time.
Add a calendar invite or virtual meeting link. Google meet and Zoom are some popular options. Please note that auditions are not hosted via the site here as they are in the legacy application manager.
Add additional details that would be helpful to the talent so that they are fully informed and ready for the upcoming audition.
Attach sides as appropriate.
Send the request.
A filled out request for a virtual audition may look something like what is shown below:
In-Person Auditions
To send a request for an in-person audition you will need to:
Enter the audition date and time.
Enter the location where the audition will be held.
Add additional details that would be helpful to the talent so that they are fully informed and ready for the upcoming audition.

Send the request.
A filled out request for an in-person audition may look something like what is shown below:
You can also send these requests to multiple talent at one time. Simply click the Bulk Actions button, check off the talent you want to audition, and then hit Request Audition.
Now you will see all of the selected talent in either scenario in the ensuing modal:
Virtual
In-Person
After a request is sent, the talent in question will have been moved to the Auditions folder:
In that Auditions folder you see that talent is now in the Requested bucket:
Once the audition request is accepted the talent will now sit in the Confirmed bucket:
