AT2 is a complete online casting service for artists, talent agents and casting professionals. Most acting and modelling work in Australia is broadcast directly to Agents via the internet. If you are a Represented Artist, your Agent is more than likely utilising the internet every day to submit your details to Casting Professionals in response to specific acting or modelling jobs. AT2 also supports Non-Represented Artists by showcasing their talents to all professional members utilising the website. Agents, Producers, Photographers and Casting Directors all have direct access to freelance talent portfolios and are able to contact these people directly regarding possible work. AT2 is far more than just a database. AT2 is also a digital pitching, marketing and courier service for actor portfolios as well as the busiest on-line breakdown service in the world where it counts most - the number of roles cast electronically.

Q. Why should I consider joining an on-line directory like AT2?

As well as the ability to be submitted for the work that is broadcast through AT2, your portfolio is searchable by all our member producers, directors, photographers, advertising agencies, casting consultants and production companies. Often a project will be cast without sending out a job at all. Rather, a search will be conducted and the artists will be contacted via their agent. If you are not on AT2, your portfolio cannot be searched by these people.

Q. How do I make the most of my AT2 personal webpage resume and portfolio on-line?

Your personal password-protected website showcases your acting portfolio and allows you to post not only your resume but also your show-reels and audio clips. Your private messaging system connects you to your agent, letting you electronically receive audition scenes and scripts and up-to-date industry links and news. You can also update your resume or physical details on-line 24 hours a day, seven days a week, meaning that your portfolio will always be current.

Q. Why should I use the internet to promote myself instead of using traditionally printed headsheets?

Traditionally printed headsheets certainly have their place in the casting industry, however once printed the photographs and information are unchangeable. An on-line portfolio is infinitely more flexible - a credit can be added to a resume, physical details can be changed and a photograph can be updated, instantly. AT2 is constantly being promoted to new members in Australia and around the world, meaning your portfolio will always be available to interested casting professionals.

Q. How do I become a member of AT2?

You can fill in the on-line sign-up form, pay on-line by credit card, submit your resume and photographs to updates@at2.com.au and your portfolio will be on-line within 48 hours.

Q. How do I become a member of AT2 if I don't have a credit card?

AT2 will accept money orders and cheques, made payable to AT2.

Q. After I sign up on the site, how long until my resumè and portfolio will appear on-line?

Q. Who should consider going on-line with AT2?

AT2 is used by all members of the casting community, from advertising agencies to feature film producers. Even well established actors have their portfolios on AT2, in order that they can be submitted for possible roles and their details can be viewed by all our members.

Q. What sort of people are already on-line with AT2?

AT2 hosts details for all kinds of performers and entertainers, from babies and children to top fashion models. Any artist that can be cast is part of our on-line system, including dancers, models, stunt performers, extras, circus entertainers, singers and more.

Q. How old do I have to be to join AT2?

The AT2 hosts modelling work for babies of six months or younger. We have no minimum or maximum ages for joining AT2.

Q. Do I need previous experience to join AT2?

We host details for the most experienced and well-known actors and models as well as for beginners.

Q. How often should I update my webpages?

You can update your portfolio as often or as little as you or your agent wishes. You can update at any time of the day or night, as long as you have a connection to the internet.

Q. Do I have to have an agent to be eligible to join AT2 and put my portfolio and resume on-line?

AT2 hosts details for both represented and freelance actors. If you have an agent, your agent is responsible for submitting you to the jobs that are sent through our site and notifying you if you have been successful in gaining an audition. If you are a freelance actor, your details will be searchable by all of our members, including agents. Both categories of actors also receive audition calls from the independent community - producers, student productions or amateur theatre - to which they can submit their portfolio.

Q. How will I find out if someone wants to ask me to audition for a project or to book me for a job?

If you are represented by an agent, your agent is responsible for submitting you for the work that comes through AT2. He or she will notify you if you have been successful in auditioning for a project or if you have received a job booking. If you are a freelance artist, your personal contact details will be displayed within your portfolio, so you can be contacted directly by interested AT2 members.

Q. Is AT2 an agent? Is AT2 a casting director?

No, AT2 is neither an agent nor a casting director. We host the on-line database of talent members and we provide the technology that drives the site.

Q. What should I do if I don't have any professional photographs yet?

You can send us a photo that you think would be suitable and have a professional photograph taken as soon as possible. Because you can have up to four photographs in your basic actor package, you can then add your professional photographs as soon as you get them.
