An audition request suddenly asks for nude images, disrobing or sexual activity. You have not been given a clear explanation of who will see or keep the recording.
Illustrative situation. Auditions.
You might hear
“We need it tonight. Don’t overthink it.”
What you can do
- Pause the submission. Verify the casting contact through an independent channel and speak with your agent or ACTRA.
- Check the audition requirements in the relevant agreement, not just the wording in a casting email.
- Keep the request privately. Do not redistribute intimate images as evidence to people who do not need them.
Example wording
“Please put the audition requirements, recording arrangements and applicable agreement in writing. I’m not sending intimate material under pressure.”
Use your own words. You can take this to an adviser instead of the person involved.Keep a record
- Casting notice and messages
- Names, contact details and requested use
Keep records you are entitled to hold, somewhere secure. Avoid collecting other people’s private material or recording secretly without advice. This site does not take incident reports.
