Audition collection

Every tape in one place. No unlisted links, no spreadsheet.

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.

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.

What you get back

A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.

How it works

Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.

1

Create a link

Add a prompt like “Show us your view” and get one shareable link in seconds.

2

Everyone records

Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.

3

We make the film

We stitch the clips into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.

How to collect audition tapes with one link

1

Put the notice in the prompt

Sides, length limit, slate format. Performers see it the moment they open the link.

2

Share one link everywhere

The casting notice, the department email, the callboard QR code. Same link.

3

Tapes land as they come

Each one sits in your collection, playable on its own, at full quality.

4

Review and cast

Watch tapes in one place and keep your callback list wherever you like. No tabs, no spreadsheet of links.

Prompt ideas for your video

Give contributors a great question, or write your own.

Slate

“Name, role you’re reading for, and your height. Then straight into the side.”

The side

“Perform the attached side. 90 seconds max. One take is fine, pick your best.”

Song cut

“16 bars, a cappella or with backing, your choice.”

Movement

“Full-body shot: 30 seconds of the combo from the video in the notice.”

Tips for the best results

One collection per role

For a show with many roles, separate links keep review sane and let you close roles independently.

State the length limit

90 seconds is enough for a side. Reviewing a stack of short tapes is how you stay fresh for the last one.

Ask for the slate first

Name and role up front means you never scrub backwards to identify a tape.

Works for these, too

One link, the same effortless flow, whatever you're collecting for.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this better than unlisted YouTube links?

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.

Do performers need an account?

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.

Do I have to use the stitched film?

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.

Can performers re-record?

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.

What does it cost?

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.

How long can the link stay open?

A free collection gathers for up to 14 days, which covers most casting windows. Paid collections stay open for a year, so a rolling season works too.

One link does the collecting for you.

Two minutes to set up, free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock your videos.
