Setting up your profile in our Star Search Portal - Step by Step: Step 1 – Go to our portal to register and click on the light blue coloured box titled "Start Tracking your Points!". It can be found at: https://www.thespianpointtracker.com/
Step 2 – Create a login/student account by clicking on Register on the right hand side menu - top menu item.
Step 3 - Once you have registered an account, build your profile. Some parts are not important and can be ignored (like GPA and class standing) and other parts are important like contact info, headshot, personal information, artist intention statement, etc. Please note that it is important that you complete the school information section. If you do not list that you are from a school in BC, when you get to step #5 and click on the "available auditions" page, the star search event will not show up as an option to register for. This is because it is geographically locked to our region so that others from outside of Canada will not be able to apply. PS -- You can still apply for the Star Search if your school does not have an ITS troupe - but you should encourage your school to become an International Thespian Society troupe so that you can be inducted to the most amazing honors society for talented drama students!!!
Step 4 – Once your profile is built go to the menu on the right-hand side and click on “Upload Audition Video” and submit your video self-tape. For Performance Audition Video Requirements and details on what to do when presenting your performance self tape please review that here: https://www.bcthespians.ca/2022-star-search.html - preparing and filming your self-tape is the most important element you need to prepare for the BCT Star Search Portal – you will really want to WOW the agents so pick materials that showcase your talent.
Step 5 – Once your video is uploaded find and click on the “Available Auditions” along the bar on the right hand side of the screen.
Step 6 – Then click the box beside Star Search – selecting it as the audition you are registering for and then click the green “Apply” box in the bottom left hand corner.
Step 7 - Then pay the $15 registration fee with a credit card. If you can't get to the payment page it is because some element of your profile and/or video audition is not in the system. There will be a text dialogue at the top of the page explaining what is missing. You can always edit your profile to add in the missing information so that you can proceed to the payment page. Then once you have paid you are finished and your profile and self-tape video will be sent to the 7 agencies for their review.
