We offer three, fully integrated, resources for posting/releasing your Breakdown (casting notice),  Breakdown Express,  Commercial Express and Actors Access.  You may post through any or all of them.

Breakdown Express and Commercial Express:  Use Breakdown Express when you wish to release a Breakdown to Theatrical Talent Agents and Managers.  Use Commercial Express when you want to release information to Commercial Talent Agents only.  We strongly advise that you request electronic submissions since many talent agencies no longer maintain a file of pictures in their office.  To receive electronic submissions will require a password to view submissions.  Contact the office to set up a password ASAP!


Submitting certain types of projects through Breakdown Express or Commercial Express may require that you pay a fee to release these projects to Agents and Managers. If a fee is required, the rates schedule is as follows:
Feature Film with SAG Disclaimer: $125
Non-Union Feature Film: $75.00
Non-Union TV Project: $50.00
Student Film: $10.00
Non-Union Play: $30.00
Equity Waiver/99 Seat Play: $30.00
Non-Union Short Film: $50.00
SAG Experimental Feature: $50.00
Cable Programming: $50.00

Please call Breakdown Services (310 276-9166) for payment details if applicable for releasing projects to agents and managers through Breakdown Express and Commercial Express.

Actors Access. There is no charge to post your Breakdown through Actors Access. It is free to do so. Actors Access is the actors' window to Breakdowns that casting authorizes for release to actors. You then have the option to receive electronic submissions from actors and/or hard copy submissions.

If you choose to receive electronic submissions and you do not already have a username/password account on the Breakdown Services submission system, an account will be set up for you at the time we receive your Breakdown so that you can then log in whenever you wish to check the submissions, schedule auditions, etc. The system is entirely self-contained, this is not an emailing system so you don't have to be concerned about receiveing submissions via email. All submissions are sorted and organized in total for fast and easy access via your logon to the system. Again, there is no charge to post your Breakdown on Actors Access.

Release Notes

As mentioned, all three resources are fully integrated for your quick and easy access. For instance, if you release a Breakdown through Actors Access AND Breakdown Express or Commercial Express, one logon to the system will provide you with all of the submissions (categorized by project and role), which you can then sort and organize any number of convenient ways.
