This innovative software called CDS800 is your ultimate organizer. The software is web based and available 24/7 from any Internet connection. It is secure and safe.

Paired with our Audition800 software, you have the capability to electronically submit casting requirements to agencies worldwide and seek out the talent you want, not what they want you to see.

Search Engine capability
You set the filters. Are you looking for a middle-aged black woman, a loveable three year old or an Irish guy in his twenties? Parameters can be set by any category through the use of keywords, just like Google or any other the search engine you use on the web. Sort talent by gender, age, physical characteristics, professional experience, talent skills, or any number of criteria. Do you need someone with martial art skills, someone who also has modeling experience, someone who can sing or play the piano, or someone who can ride bareback?
