Talent6 Launches Mobile Casting Call Alerts
Aspiring models, actors and background extras throughout the country are instantly notified with text alerts when casting calls for hit TV shows like, "Prison Break", "American Idol" and "LOST" are casting in their home town and surrounding area.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- Imagine sitting at a cafe with your friends and suddenly you get a text message alert on your mobile phone that a new casting call opportunity is seeking background extras for a hit TV show has just been posted in your area. To your friends amazement, you fire up your laptop and apply to the casting call. Moments later, you receive another text alert that the casting director has just viewed your portfolio and wants you to attend the casting call. You politely excuse yourself from the table and say to your friends, "Excuse me, I'm needed on the set of "Prison Break".
Sound impossible? Well, it's happening and Talent6 is leading the way with instant casting call text alerts nationwide. Traditionally, actors, models and aspiring talent seeking casting call opportunities would browse local trade magazines, news ads or outdated web sites, most of which have already expired or have been filled. That's so 20th century. Today, Talent6, an entertainment company is changing the way casting directors find background talent or extras for hit TV shows, quickly and directly.
Here's how it works. Talent6 members sign up to receive instant casting call alerts based on the area they live in, gender, age and what type of casting call opportunity are they most interested in, for example, film, television, theater, etc. When a new casting call is posted at Talent6.com, which they receive over a thousand new casting calls a week, the member instantly receives a text alert on their mobile phone with information about the casting call.
