Focus on the Performance. We Handle the Files.
Your highest value is watching the read and collaborating with directors—not spending 4 hours a day downloading MP4s and chasing agents for availabilities.
Self-Tape Organization
We download, appropriately rename (ActorName_Role.mp4), and upload hundreds of self-tapes to Vimeo or presentation links for director review.
Audition Scheduling
We manage the brutal "calendar Tetris" of coordinating chemistry reads, sending Zoom links, and ensuring talent and producers are in the right room.
Breakdown Management
We post detailed character breakdowns on Breakdown Express/Casting Networks and filter the initial flood of submissions based on your criteria.
Tracker & Grid Updates
We keep the master casting grid completely up to date for the studio/producers, logging who has been read, pinned, or released.
NDA & Sides Distribution
For high-security projects, we track DocuSign NDAs meticulously before distributing watermarked sides or full scripts to representatives.
Agent Communications
We field the hundreds of daily emails from talent reps: avail checks, requesting tape deadline extensions, or answering basic character questions.

"During pilot season, I was spending 4 hours a day just downloading and renaming self-tapes from Eco-Cast. Sagedoer’s VA took over the entire process. Now I wake up, and the presentation links are fully built and ready for review."

Can they handle Actors Access and Breakdown Express?
Yes. Our VAs are trained to navigate standard casting platforms. They can release breakdowns, process Eco-Cast submissions, download tapes, and compile presentation links (Cast It, Vimeo) based on your specific naming conventions.
How do they handle confidential scripts and NDAs?
Confidentiality is paramount. The VA will strictly enforce your NDA protocol via DocuSign or HelloSign, ensuring a signed document is returned and filed before any watermarked sides or full scripts are distributed to talent agents.
Will they communicate directly with talent agents?
Yes. They can manage the primary casting inbox to field routine agent inquiries, send out avail checks, request tape extensions, and coordinate Zoom chemistry read schedules on your behalf.
