LAUNCH UPDATE
Covid19 and the Arts
We are living through a historical and terrifying time.
Covid19 has effected everyone in the world. Entertainers and those who work in entertainment have been extremely hard hit. Cruise lines, theme parks, even side jobs like waiting tables have all been shut down.
However, the health and wellbeing of citizens around the world is, of course, the top priority. Social Distancing and quarantine procedures are very important, not only for your own health, but the health of everyone around you.
It is eye opening to see how contagious this virus is and how many things we touch on a daily basis. How many handshakes we give, metro cards we swipe, ATMs we visit. It makes you really stop and think about your own mortality, doesn't it?
The good news (because there is always a bright side) is that once we can all get back to living, Gig2Gig will be a very useful tool for social distancing!
With Gig2Gig, you will no longer have to sit in a crowded holding room with hundreds of other people, or use the same pen to sign in. Casting Directors won't have to touch each headshot, or pass around a sign in list that has been signed by everyone in attendance. Gig2Gig is completely paperless and will provide up to the minute notifications and a running waitlist so you can stay informed even if you are miles away. You can now scan in to your audition and then go social distance in a cafe or a corner somewhere. Great, right?
If you are interested in being a part of Gig2Gig, we would love to hear from you! You can email me directly at: angelacalo@gig2gig.com.
My vow to you is to create the most helpful, innovative, and transparent platform for artists, agents, and casting teams that I possibly can. My hope is that it will make everyone’s lives easier, whether you are a freelance artist, agent, producer, director, or casting professional, Gig2Gig is here to support you along the way.
If you have any questions or queries, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your patience and your support of Gig2Gig.
Stay safe and healthy! ☺️
Regards,
Angela Calo
Founder and CEO

The Only Platform Designed for Agents, Casting, & Talent
Talent Agents
Gig2Gig will save you hours by streamlining the submission process with a simple drag and drop auto submit feature, client appointment scheduling and audition management, contract negotiations, and communication with casting all via the Gig2Gig platform.
Casting Directors
Gig2Gig is designed to remove stress and extra work from your already busy day. Our platform allows you to communicate with Agents, manage appointments and submissions, build a state of the art client database, and run live auditions with ease.
Talent
Stop carrying around heavy binders of sheet music cuts and headshots. Use Gig2Gig to store all your music, photos, video reels, sides, audition packets, and calendar. Communicate with your agent directly via the platform and use Gig2Gig to scan in to your auditions, view the waitlist, receive up to the minute audition updates from the monitor and casting team, and receive instant audition feedback and notifications about your audition, callbacks, and scheduling.
Going Green
As many of us are concerned about climate change and the environment, we are all doing whatever we can to help out.
Gig2Gig is committed to eliminating the paper!
Why do we still allow headshots to be printed by the thousands with harsh chemicals that, many times, end up in the trash?
If we think about the weight of all of this paper that we carry around, not only the physical weight of it, but also the guilt that weighs on many of us for contributing to so much waste, we might think about going paperless!
Gig2Gig is doing our part! Will you join us?
Stop Wasting Time
Do you find, as a casting director, that you have hours of busy work after your audition? Creating folders, uploading and manually naming videos, scanning forms and documents, emailing clients and agents individually?
Well, there is an easier way!
Gig2Gig does everything in real time so that once your audition is over, it’s over!
Are you seeing talent who are wrong for the role? Are you searching through binders of headshots to find that guy from 2014? Would it make your life easier to search your database using keywords, and customizable searches?
Gig2Gig allows casting to manage their own client database, quick message talent during auditions instead of having assistants yell down the hall, remove the awkwardness of saying, “thank you, that’s all we need for today,” and instead sending a push notification with a pre-populated “thank you” message.
Use the time stamped scan in system to track talent, view the waitlist, and have the talent ready when you are! Send updates, communicate with your casting team, record videos directly to the performers profile in real time, share candidates with clients as soon as they have finished their audition, and have the ability to tag and provide feedback to each performer you see.
Gig2Gig is the only integrated platform that does everything for you in one place. No more juggling several different platforms, google drive, Dropbox, SD cards, and manual entries. Gig2Gig has everything covered so that when your day is done, it is actually done!
