How do I link my agent to my Casting Networks profile?
Ask your agent to send you a roster invite or add your profile to their Casting Networks roster. Once connected, they can see and submit your profile for agent-only breakdowns.
Casting Networks has a separate "agent" side of the platform. Your agent needs to link your profile to their agent account for the connection to work.
How it works:
- Your agent sends a request from their CN agent portal, or you send them your profile GUID.
- You approve the connection from your notifications or profile settings.
- Your profile now appears on their roster, and they can submit you for breakdowns.
If you don't have an agent yet:
You don't need one to use CN. You can self-submit for any public breakdown. Agent linking is only relevant if you're signed with an agency.
If you change agents:
Remove the old agent's connection first (from your profile settings) before accepting the new agent's request. CN allows multiple representatives (legit dual-rep situations like LA agent + NYC manager) but each needs to be added separately.
Common pitfall:
Self-represented actors sometimes think linking to "no agent" hides their profile from casting. It doesn't — CN displays your representation (or lack of it) publicly, and most commercial breakdowns accept self-represented submissions just fine.
Verify agent legitimacy:
Only link to agents you've signed actual contracts with. CN has seen scams where "agents" ask to be added to profiles just to harvest information or pitch scam services.
