You need the clips. Chasing people for them is the job nobody wants.
Send one link with your casting notice. Performers record in the browser or upload the tape they made, no account and no YouTube channel needed, and every audition lands in your collection to review whenever you sit down to cast.
“Name, role you’re reading for, and your height. Then straight into the side.”
“Perform the attached side. 90 seconds max. One take is fine, pick your best.”
“16 bars, a cappella or with backing, your choice.”
“Full-body shot: 30 seconds of the combo from the video in the notice.”
The standard workaround deserves to be named: performers upload to YouTube, set the video to unlisted, hope the visibility settings are right, and email you a link. You end up pasting links into a spreadsheet, chasing the ones that arrive as private by accident, and reviewing a season of auditions one browser tab at a time. One collection link replaces all of it. Your instructions and sides go in the prompt, performers need no account of any kind, and the tapes sit together in one place, each one playable on its own. There is a stitched film if you ever want one; for casting you can ignore it, the collection view is the tool.
A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.
Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.
Add a prompt like “Name, role you’re reading for, and your height” and get one shareable link in seconds.
Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.
We stitch the clips into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.
Sides, length limit, slate format. Performers see it the moment they open the link.
The casting notice, the department email, the callboard QR code. Same link.
Each one sits in your collection, playable on its own, at full quality.
Watch tapes in one place and keep your callback list wherever you like. No tabs, no spreadsheet of links.
Pick one. One clear question gets more replies than four. People answer a question; they stall at a brief.
Make it theirs. Swap in the name and the detail only your group knows. “Share a memory of Dad” beats “share a memory”.
Say the length. Naming thirty seconds gives permission to stop, which is usually what someone is waiting for.
Say when you need it. A date does more for replies than any wording.
Give contributors a great question, or write your own.

For a show with many roles, separate links keep review sane and let you close roles independently.
90 seconds is enough for a side. Reviewing a stack of short tapes is how you stay fresh for the last one.
Name and role up front means you never scrub backwards to identify a tape.
One link, the same effortless flow, whatever you're collecting for.

Testimonials →Collect customer videos at scale, then cut them into one reel.
UGC campaigns →Performers need no YouTube channel and touch no visibility settings, so nothing arrives accidentally private or embarrassingly public. You get every tape in one collection instead of links scattered across an inbox, and nothing is sitting on a platform you don’t control.
No. They open your link, read your instructions, and record in the browser or upload a tape they already made. Only the organiser has an account.
No. Casting is the collection view: every tape in one place, each playable on its own. The film exists if you want a reel of the season, and you can ignore it entirely.
Yes, until they are happy. The tape that reaches you is the take they chose, which is also why tapes arrive better than first takes filmed under pressure.
Free to start. Pay as you go is $0.35 per tape received and nothing if no one submits, which fits audition volume: a quiet role costs nothing, a popular one costs a few dollars.
A free collection gathers for up to 60 days, which covers most casting windows. Paid collections stay open for a year, so a rolling season works too.
Two minutes to set up, free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock your videos.
Will people actually record something?
They open the link and record in their browser. Nothing to install, and no account to make.
What if I set it up and nobody sends anything?
Creating a collection is free, and you pay when you unlock your videos. An empty collection costs you nothing.
What do I even ask people to say?
Every occasion page here comes with prompt ideas you can send as they are, or write your own.
