I’ve seen people have had issues with this today.

also heard there have been some recalls too @idriveaVauxhallZafira

What’s the recall process /timeframe as far as you’ve heard @Oor I’m really curious as to what might happen next.

Or anyone else got any updates?

KarmenPQZ · 06/11/2024 21:17

I didn’t do resume because it would have been blank! In a whim I uploaded a school headshot but kinda regretted it immediately but too late!

IwillhaveaBook · 05/11/2024 20:02

Just wondering if you did a resume and photo etc or did you just submit the 2 videos?

And mine is 2 months too old! The one who is in the right age group isn't interested in acting 😭

Drivingoverlemons · 03/11/2024 21:24

I am going to try again tomorrow when the kids are back at school as I ran out of steam.

KarmenPQZ · 02/11/2024 15:26

Just submitted. Used a computer and had no issues or no requests for payment even though I did exactly the same on Thursday. 🤪

Autumnalmists · 31/10/2024 21:44

I have one who would love to, then I think school ….!

Did you pay?
I can’t get back to the screen without paying now.

No didn't pay anything 🤔

Oldfriends · 31/10/2024 21:42

Don't try submitting it from within the roles section in the account. Once.you have an account and are logged in, separately click on this https://app.castittalent.com/hpcasting and it doesn't take you through the payment part x

Still no luck here, despite trying since this time last night on and off. I have just noticed that the deadline has been extended to 8th November?

Oh amazing! I kinda hoped that might happen!

IwillhaveaBook · 31/10/2024 21:39

annlee3817 · 31/10/2024 21:25

I uploaded both at the same time, did it not let you do the same?

I have an email that says we have a free trial membership but still can’t get past the card payment screen. Does one video class as a submission, if I pay I’m wondering if I’m going to be charged again for the second video 🤷‍♀️

I managed to do it on my phone last night with no charge, said something about one month's free trial, but didn't have to put in bank details

I was in a shop recently and a guy there was the spitting image of Daniel Radcliffe as the oldest version of HP. I was tempted to say something but thought he must have heard it a million times.

Oldfriends · 31/10/2024 20:23

ive managed to do it and didnt have to pay anything - it think its to do with where you try to submit it from. start from the link i posted upthread and follow these instructions. Still took ages as website slow but got it in - phew! : support.castitsystems.com/hc/en-us/articles/16827600786445-TALENT-Submitting-to-an-Audition-Request-Open-Call

My daughter (8) recently got signed up with a legit agency. There are lots out there but you need to know who they are. If you're on FB there is a great group called Parents of child models and actors UK - PLEASE READ THE FEATURED POST.

The legit agencies don't charge anything to join (sometimes a small admin charge) and you don't need a professional portfolio to sign up- they usually need headshots taken at home under specific conditions and there is usually a self tape to submit - a monologue or something to show their acting

Show quote history

I agree with all of this especially joining the Facebook group. Make sure you do read the featured post because it tells you who the scams are.

my daughter is with a legit agency. We paid a £40 admin fee and that’s it although you have to pay for the spotlight profile which is what the casting directors use. I think it’s about £10 a month.

Doublegloucester · 31/10/2024 19:45

I have been trying all afternoon and kept getting the 404 error. I finally managed to upload and submit successfully about 7.30pm but no money was involved - not even $5 - so I am a bit worried/confused now!

KarmenPQZ · 31/10/2024 19:39

😬😬😬 I’m on my phone. Might leave it for now and try on the computer when I get home. Let me know how you get on!

KarmenPQZ · 31/10/2024 19:31

I’m only getting as far as credit card entering credit card details. And I’m not sure I want to a) fund this or b) pay to then still not be able to submit. Are people managing to submit without having to pay?

No, and that bit was where mine fell apart as it wanted me to create an account but I was already logged in...

We still haven’t managed it - failed at the point of submission! 😂
