How BGCAN works

Keep your calendar, sizes and photos current so your agency can put you forward for the right work, and answer availability checks from your phone.

1. 1

   Set up your login

   Your agency emails you an invite. Tap it and choose a password. Parents: all your children are on one login. Forgot your password? Use “Forgot password” on the sign-in page, or ask your agency to send a reset.

   Where: The invite email

2. 2

   Keep your calendar up to date

   Tap the days you can't work. Use the weekday switches for days you're never available, like every Wednesday. Booked days show on the calendar too.

   Where: Update calendar

3. 3

   Photos, sizes and what you can bring

   Add a current headshot, a selfie and a full-body photo (up to 10 photos). Keep your sizes current, and add up to two vehicles, pets, costumes and wardrobe you own; productions often pay extra for these.

   Where: Edit profile

4. 4

   Answer availability checks

   When your agency asks if you're free, answer Yes, No or Maybe in the app, from the button in the email, or by texting YES or NO back. Your answer updates your calendar.

   Where: Messages

5. 5

   Know who sees what

   Casting directors see your photos, sizes, wardrobe, vehicles, training and restrictions, never your contact details. Allergies, phobias and access needs stay with your agency unless you tick “OK to show casting” for an item.

6. 6

   Pro (optional)

   Performer Pro adds your stats (days worked each month, the shows you worked on most, what you're cast as), a year-end spreadsheet, your bookings in your phone's calendar and no ads. Your agency and casting see your profile the same way whether or not you have Pro.
