Casting Calls tab

Once you've successfully logged in, you'll land on the main Casting Calls page. This is where you'll be able to navigate through all the opportunities listed on Backstage.com. There are a lot of opportunities listed here, and more are added every day, so we provide you with a variety of controls you can use to sort these opportunities. You can change the sort order of the notices, apply search filters so you only see the results you want, and save searches that will send you notifications when an opportunity is posted that matches the types of roles you're looking for.

You can learn more about the casting calls interface, and how to save searches by reading the articles in our Casting Calls section.
