Audition Management & Casting Systems
Floyd Technologies specialise in providing Audition Management and Casting Systems to UK and international clients. Our systems form the basis of some of the biggest shows on TV.
We offer an end-to-end service from data collection, audition invitation, through to audition management and casting. If you manage small or large scale auditions, invite hundreds or hundreds of thousands of applicants, we have the experience and tools to optimise your process and find the talent you are looking for.
With over 11 years experience working with a variety of clients, all with different requirements and processes, we have built a deeper understanding and knowledge of the sector. This knowledge has enabled us to develop tools to support and enhance all areas of the audition management and casting process.
If you have any questions, would like more information, or a system demonstration, please contact us.
Testimonials
As part of our continuous improvement process, we regularly capture customer feedback to monitor our performance. Here are a few responses received in 2015:
Saj Patel - Wall to Wall (The Voice) - Production Manager - December 2015
“ I've had great pleasure working with Floyd Technologies over the past few years. Our ideas for what the casting and audition website should be are always completed to how we would imagine them. Each year we've updated the website to make it work for what we need, the current version is at it's best and I definitely wouldn't hesitate to use FT again. All the support from start to finish I have received has been fabulous. ”
Katy Hefford - Senior Casting Producer - Endemol - March 2015
“ Working with Floyd Technologies to build the brand new Big Brother application system for 2015 has been an absolute pleasure. James and his team always went the extra mile to support the Big Brother team and answer any questions we had at any time of day, even at the weekends when we were in the middle of auditions.
The system really has changed the way we handle the thousands of Big Brother applicants... It's very user friendly and team members were able to use it efficiently with minimal training. I can't recommend it enough.”
Ruby Evans - Line Production Executive - Boundless Productions - February 2015
“I have worked with Floyd Technologies for many years and from the first moment they streamlined, calmed and eased our casting process. They have always reacted quickly to frequently tight timelines and given solutions to complications that arise. I'll be certain to work with them again in the future on any project that requires casting/auditioning.”
