What does Spotlight membership give me?
Spotlight web page
Your full professional CV plus photos, voice-clips and showreel will appear on www.spotlight.com where they can be accessed by casting professionals. Your casting details are fully searchable, so, for example, a casting professional can look for ‘an actress, with a playing age of 35-40, who has dark brown hair and a native Liverpool accent’. Thousands of casting professionals locate artists online in this way.
As soon as your basic web page is live, you will be sent an email with your PIN numbers, which will allow you to access your casting details whenever you wish - to make changes, and to show your CV to others.
The Spotlight Link
As soon as your web page is live, you will also be part of The Spotlight Link, the UK’s leading casting information service. An average of 160 casting breakdowns are sent out via The Spotlight Link every week, with an average of 571 roles to be cast (based on 2006 statistics). If you have an agent, they will receive these breakdowns on your behalf and put you forward immediately for relevant roles. If you don’t have an agent, you will receive casting information directly by email and can submit your web CV in response if you are suitable.
Spotlight book page
Your photo and brief casting details will appear in the next book which is printed annually every October and distributed to key industry professionals nationwide. You will be given a ‘Spotlight page number’ which helps casting professionals to locate you – for example your agent may say ‘please see my client Jenny Brown on page 854.’
Spotlight card
Your Spotlight membership card will be sent to you after you join. It is a handy reminder of your PIN numbers and entitles you to discounts on products and services negotiated especially for Spotlight members.

You can join Spotlight at any time of the year. Your details will appear on the website as soon as possible, with your book page appearing in the next available edition.
