UpCast Connects Talent and Casting Professionals Through Mobile Devices

— February 15, 2017 — Tech
Auditioning from your smartphone? There's finally an app for that; it’s called UpCast – and it’s the first mobile platform for entertainment casting.

Say goodbye to the pains of auditioning – no more traffic, wasted time or parking tickets – and say hello to the easiest way to book modeling and acting jobs. Using the UpCast mobile and web apps, production companies and casting professionals can upload detailed information about open roles in their upcoming projects, and actors and models can then audition for those roles from within the app.

Swipe, audition and cast – it’s that simple. Talent can swipe through castings matched to their specific criteria, and upload live photos and videos from anywhere – while casting directors and companies can then see, filter and book talent digitally.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Auditioning - UpCast introduces a mobile platform for auditioning, revolutionizing the way talent and casting professionals connect.
2. Streamlined Casting Process - UpCast simplifies the casting process by allowing production companies and casting professionals to upload open roles and talents to audition directly through the app.
3. Digital Talent Booking - UpCast enables casting directors and companies to view, filter, and book talent digitally, eliminating the need for in-person interactions.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can leverage UpCast to streamline and digitize the casting process, leading to increased efficiency and access to a broader talent pool.
2. Modeling - UpCast offers modeling agencies a convenient and efficient way to discover and book models for various projects, reducing traditional hassles and time-consuming processes.
3. Acting - Acting professionals can benefit from UpCast by getting instant access to audition opportunities, saving time on travel and expenses while maximizing exposure to potential roles.
