ACTOR SUBMISSION CHECKLIST
THE FINAL CHECK BEFORE YOU HIT SEND.
A clean submission respects the casting team’s request and protects the work you have already put into your materials.
01 / THE DECISION
DO NOT ADD FRICTION TO A CLEAR REQUEST.
Before submitting, compare your response with the original notice line by line. If something does not fit, do not force it.
- 01
You read the original notice, not only a summary or repost.
- 02
Your materials match the requested format, length, file size, and naming instructions.
- 03
Your slate, availability, and contact information are current and consistent.
- 04
You understand the stated role, location, compensation, usage, and deadline.
- 05
You saved a record of the submission and next follow-up point.
02 / BUILD THE PACK
KEEP ONE CONTROLLED SUBMISSION KIT.
The kit should be modular, current, and easy to tailor—not an overflowing folder sent to everyone.
YOUR VAULT™
- A current headshot set
- A performance résumé
- Short and long reel links
- Self-tape files with clear labels
- Availability and representation details
03 / SOURCE DESK
THE TERMS MATTER.
Use this page to improve the decision, not to replace the provider's current terms.
SOURCE BOUNDARY
The original provider or production page is the source of truth for terms, timing, eligibility, and instructions.
STATUS LANGUAGE
Source-checked means a source link was reviewed. It does not mean Verified Door, approved provider, safety guarantee, or live availability.
- The original call controls submission instructions and terms.
- A source-checked link is not a confirmation of legitimacy, hiring, or safety.
- Do not send additional personal information unless the request and recipient are clear.
- KNOCK can assemble a checklist; you retain control of every submission.

THE NEXT USEFUL QUESTION.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Should I include materials that were not requested?
Usually no. Follow the stated request first. Additional materials can create noise unless the notice invites them.
Can a checklist tell me whether I will book the role?
No. A checklist helps you submit clearly and thoughtfully; it cannot predict a casting decision.
