The Spotlight Link

What is The Spotlight Link / The Spotlight Link Board?

The Spotlight Link is the quickest and easiest way for casting and production professionals to get their casting briefs into the in-boxes of leading UK agents and performers.

You will receive immediate suggestions in return, and be able to organise them all via the Spotlight website.

No faxing, no phoning, no chasing, no 'snail' mail - and you can use this service from any location with Internet access.

In the year to July 2012 an average of 245 casting breakdowns were sent out each week via the Spotlight Link, of which 160 were Spotlight Exclusives. They span every type of performance work: from TV to dance, film to live events, commercials to musicals. These weekly breakdowns contained an average of 708 individual roles (jobs) of which 478 were Spotlight Exclusives. During the same period we saw an average of 162,219 CVs on the Spotlight website being reviewed every week.

How does it work?

Casting professionals can choose to send out a casting breakdown to agents via the Spotlight Link or post one-role jobs to the Spotlight Link Board to all agents and all performers, regardless of agency status.

Spotlight Sides

Casting professionals can also use The Spotlight Link to send out audition scripts and other attachments.

This ensures that performers will be able to come to your auditions ready-prepared, to give their best performance possible.

Spotlight Sides converts all scripts to PDF so that performers and their agents can view and print everything quickly and easily.
