Audition management software: Your backstage support

The show must go on

There are a number of reasons an online audition system could make sense for you—including the location of auditioners, safety and health issues, budget, or space—and now remote auditioning software can make the show go on without a hitch.

Your judges can be absolutely anywhere, and can watch footage, view headshots, or listen to audio online to cast at their convenience.

Create a scoring system as simple as “yes” and “no” or as complex as a multi-question rubric. Find the best fits fast, and notify everyone easily with bulk messaging options.

Manage clear communication with
everyone before, during and after auditions

Drag-and-drop forms

Get all the information you need for your online tryouts—nothing more and nothing less. Automatically hide or reveal questions based on an applicant’s previous answers, saving time for auditioners, managers, and administration.

In-app communication

Don’t clog your or your manager’s main email inbox with endless time- sucking casting messages—and have an accurate log of every communication in one place.

Easy follow-up

If you need to send your cast or performers additional paperwork, like contracts, waivers, practice schedules, or tax forms, you can do so in one fell swoop with our additional forms tool.

Bulk messaging

Let everyone know the final cast list in a single email that everyone receives at the same time. After auditions are over, send cast members scheduling information and vital paperwork.

Gentle reminders

With just a few clicks, send email reminders to performers who haven’t finished their submission, or to judges who have more auditions to watch before the casting deadline.

Messaging for judges

It’s just like reviewing tape in a room together or sitting in theatre chairs during an audition: judges can post messages about each audition on an online dashboard, bringing up pros, cons, or other thoughts that don’t fit onto a casting scorecard.

Judge auditions on your own schedule for fairer results

The Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) uses Submittable’s audition manager to listen to thousands of music auditions for festivals and conferences each calendar year. Their system involves hundreds of hours of music and over 300 judges scattered around the country. The organization says that the software and judging dashboard not only saves huge amounts of time and eliminates scheduling conflicts, but also promotes participation and inclusion.

“It’s great because reviewers don’t have to get it done in a day. Submittable allows them the ability to listen at their own pace, and it makes it much more fair. It’s not like by the time you get to group 18, you’re thinking, ‘I’m done with this.’ We’re avoiding the burnout that comes with marathon meetings.”
