Drama Schools: Why should your students join e-Talenta?
Worldwide visibility in a professional contex?
e-Talenta will promote your graduate students to directors, producers, casting professionals and agents within your own country and - thanks to its multi-lingual system - also internationally. With e-Talenta you can accompany your students' first steps into the working world and help them launch their careers professionally.
Your students' Artist Profiles online
By registering your drama students in their last year of school, you can help them promote themselves 24 hours a day with their own online Artist Profile, featuring their full CV and photos.
You and/or your students can update their Artist Profile at any time with a unique username and password - so there's no need for expensive headshot reprints, frantically photocopying CVs or sending out endless copies in the post. It's all there on the e-Talenta website.
Students should enhance their Artist Profiles by adding a showreel, voice-clip or additional photos. These will really help casting professionals to build up a complete idea of their talents. If your school has recording facilities, make sure your students take full advantage of these before they leave.
Be part of the e-Talenta search engine
Producers, directors and casting professionals will be able to search for your students by specific fields including their physical appearance, location, nationality, previous credits and specialist skills. This means they will always find the right actor for the right part.
The e-Talenta Board of Experts
e-Talenta has created a board of experts which consists of casting directors across Europe. They advise e-Talenta on the professionalism of those actors wishing to join the website, and also those producers, directors, casting directors and other industry professionals who want to access it.
e-Talenta is set to become mainland Europe's largest community of leading industry professionals, bringing together its most talented actors, agents and production professionals. Membership of e-Talenta shows that your students are serious about their future careers.
Personal security
Your students' privacy is very important and for safety reasons a student should never put their personal contact details in the public domain. On the e-Talenta website these details are completely secure and will not fall into the wrong hands.
