Breakdowns
are complete synopses of the characters contained within scripts. Our staff writers read scripts provided by
casting directors and create approximately 30 television and feature film
Breakdowns every day. Breakdowns
approved for release are sent out REALTIME
through our website at www.breakdownexpress.com. Talent Representatives are able to
instantly view the Breakdowns and submit their clients’ pictures, resume and
videos via our website to casting directors.
Breakdowns
that are released to talent representatives include episodics, pilots, feature
films, movies for television, commercials, print projects, theater, student
films, industrials, reality tv, and many other types of projects that require
acting talent.
Breakdown
Express
(www.breakdownexpress.com) is
how talent representatives submit their talent via the Internet and how casting
views submissions of pictures, resumes, and videos. The site is organized to even allow casting directors to create
interview schedules that notify talent representatives instantly.
Casting
directors can specify which cities their casting information is released
to. When releasing a project you are
assigned your own permanent Account Name
and Password to view
submissions.
Posting
a Breakdown is very easy. While we are
happy to have our staff writers read scripts of Union Projects, the fastest way
to get casting information out to talent representatives is via our
website at www.breakdownexpress.com. Click on the button titled ‘Casting, Post
your Breakdown’ and fill out the form that is displayed. Your project will be released after we
process it into our format. While
Breakdown Services doesn’t charge to release Union projects, a small service
charge is required for non-union and non-paying projects.
Actors Access is how
casting can release your projects directly to actors. Actors view projects via www.actorsaccess.com. It is entirely up to the casting director
whether a Breakdown is released to actors or just to talent
representatives. Submissions for both
talent representatives and actors are viewed by the casting director on www.breakdownexpress.com.
Actors
Access is also an important tool for actors since they can upload new pictures,
update their resume and add new skills and attributes to their profile, all
online.
Part
of the interview process is getting the script pages to actors so that they can
prepare to read in front of casting.
Script pages are called Sides and are available through our website at www.showfax.com. Showfax provides
actors with Sides. If you need to get
your Sides to actors, contact Showfax at (310) 385-6920. Showfax provides the
acting community with more than just Sides, Showfax provides actors with a
discussion board, actor related
resources and the ability to communicate with our guest moderators about topics
that are important to actors.
Go Between at www.gobetween.com is not only one of the
best-known messenger services specializing in the entertainment industry but
also provides digital deliveries as well.
In coordination with Showfax, Go Between provides a unique way of
delivering digital scripts via the Internet at www.screenplayonline.com.
Music
Report/TuneData is our music industry service delivering information to
publishers and record labels regarding the soundtrack needs of Music
Supervisors. TuneData is also the professional way to
search for sync and master rights for all types of music. TuneData was also
developed by Breakdown Services to facilitate the easy submission of ideas and
audio clips via the Internet to the contacts listed in the Music Report.
To
see how Music Supervisors and other professionals looking to fill music
requirements can use TuneData or how representatives of music rights can use
TuneData go to www.tunedata.com or

that sells directories, books, labels and videos that relate to the acting
community.
