With this in mind Equity, in collaboration with Spotlight, the CDG and the PMA, have written a manifesto for their vision of how the process of casting can be made clearer, fairer, less stressful and more inclusive for everyone. It&#8217;ll\u00a0be used by Equity to seek the changes that will ensure the continued success of our creative industries.<\/p>\n<p>All partners in the casting process face pressure to deliver professional casting standards, often within a short timescale and tight budget in an environment where script preparation is time-consuming and the cost of travel is high. Self-taping is becoming more popular and is an opportunity to widen access to the casting process. Women, black, South Asian, East Asian, minority ethnic, LGBTQ+, Deaf and disabled, and older artists continue to experience discrimination across the industry. Along with this, social class remains a barrier to accessing and sustaining a career.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-replace hoverZoomLink\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_1536,c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1575\/laughing-actor.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/spotlightuk\/image\/fetch\/w_{width},c_limit\/https:\/\/spotlight-cmsmedia.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/media\/1575\/laughing-actor.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe manifesto below is a vision of how casting can be made better for everyone.<\/p>\n<h4>Casting Preparation<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Job advertisements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where roles are advertised, the casting breakdown should be presented in the most inclusive way possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inclusive casting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A diverse range of performers should be auditioned for every production, including voice-only performances. Greater consideration should be given to specific characteristics for any given role<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Local talent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consideration should be given to professional talent from where the production is made.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The building where auditions are held should be accessible, and reasonable adjustments (a legal requirement) should be made to the audition process to ensure all performers can participate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It should be clear what kind of contract is being offered.<\/p>\n<h4>Before the audition<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Submissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Submissions made should be relevant to the role and performers\u2019 information should be up-to-date.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A question requesting the access requirements of performers should be included in every invitation to audition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nudity\/simulated sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No sex act should be requested at any audition. A performer should not be requested to undress in whole or in part unless a mutually agreed observer is present.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Professionalism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Equity members have a responsibility to turn up on time, be prepared and give the earliest possible notice of cancellation.<br \/>\nAll involved in the casting process have a responsibility to ensure performers are given the opportunity to prepare and give their best.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preparation time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Castings should be planned, where possible, with a realistic time frame to allow casting directors and agents enough time to enable performers to prepare properly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reasonable consideration should be given to the cost to performers when attending auditions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Caring responsibilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The caring responsibilities of performers should be recognised and, wherever practicable, accommodated.<\/p>\n<h4>At the Audition<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Self-taping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Performers should be given clear direction on what is required and a realistic time frame. There should also be a timely acknowledgment of its receipt.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time-keeping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every attempt should be made by all concerned to keep to the agreed audition time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Data protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Information provided on the head sheet or the artist declaration form or equivalent must be treated in accordance with data protection law.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appropriate questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In line with the law and with specific exceptions, performers should not be asked for personal information, verbally or in writing, as part of the audition. This includes actual age, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, marital\/civil partnership status or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Filming auditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If an audition is to be filmed, the film (or self-tape) should not be used or distributed for any other purpose without the consent of the performer.<\/p>\n<h4>After the Audition<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Outcome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Performers\/Agents should be informed when they have not got a role at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pencilling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A pencil is not a firm booking. All parties should be clear about the number of performers pencilled and the time frame for a decision to be made. A pencil can be withdrawn by performers or agents without repercussions. Notice of withdrawal of a pencil by any party should be given as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recalls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All those who are essential to casting decisions should work with performers to minimise the number of recalls.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"quoteFull\"><strong>Spotlight&#8217;s statement:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"quoteFull\">&#8220;Spotlight has always been committed to ensuring that professional performers of all backgrounds have the opportunity to be cast in productions for live or recorded media.
