Actors Access for Pc

I have been exclusively using this app to submit to roles since it was announced, I love being able to get notifications directly through the app. I only ever look at the website to read my Cmails and submit self tapes. I decided to look at the “breakdowns fit for me” on the website today and was shocked to discover not every role I qualified for was showing up on the app, it seams like some roles just randomly don’t go on the app for whatever reason, even though they are a match for me. For the 25 breakdowns on the first page of breakdowns fit for me on the website, only 20 show up on the app. Very upsetting and disappointing. I love the idea of the app, but it’s just not there yet. One other problem, you can’t see the project “type” once you click on it to see all the details.

While I do love Actor’s Access and mush credit it with most of my success as an actor this app falls very short when compared to the website. 1. You can not access you’re c mail. 2. You cannot submit auditions. 3. When submitted for a role, you cannot go back and amend you photo choice, add a comment, or attach your demo reel if you initially forgot or were to hasty when clicked the submit button. 4. Apparently not all roles are making onto the app(this is based on other reviews I’ve read/ heard). 5. There is no separation in the feed. When I get notifications for 5-10 new roles I have to scroll down the list to find where exactly I left off last time I was on the app. I can simply count of then number of projects because some have more than one appropriate role and I can’t look for the “Submitted” icon because I might well have passed on the last several projects offered to me. I often waste several minutes re-reading roles I passed on, there need to be some sort of indicator or separation between the new roles and those you’ve already seen. 6. You can’t access your profile. You can’t make changes, add new photos or videos, change resume or measurements. You can’t do anything. All in all, the app is a nice thought but for the most part, a waste of time and space.

AA has been working on this app for years - and what this app does is very disappointing. Their website is still in need of an update, as well. A few things I’d love to see: 1) Turn off notifications / ‘roles fit for me’ for different projects / roles (non-principle roles in student films, background work, theatre, industry, voiceover, etc). 2) A way to c mail projects that have sent an eco cast. 3) A required field to include a phone number when sending an invitation to attend an in-person audition. 4) Show which headshot was submitted in c mails / eco-casts. 5) A link to director’s reel. 6) Get rid of Slate Shots and Slates in general - this is a New York City theatre trend and doesn’t apply to film. They know who we are, who we’re reading for, and our stats are available on our resume. 😜 2, 3, and 5 mostly apply to non union films that don’t have a formal casting office or a known-body of work - perhaps that could be applied to just those projects.

Needs a way to hide notices so you don’t keep scrolling through them. Many “matches” are not matches because all filters aren’t being used or the notices have certain traits that we not in filters. So to hide them would be great or to only see them from a certain time period. I don’t need to scroll to notices I didn’t submit for from over a week or even month or 2 months ago. Plus there is no way to see different regions in addition to making changes to profile. A link to see in one place what we submitted for. Can we upload ecocast? Or is this submit only and do everything else from laptop? So like I said. Not a bad start.
