Tampa, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Officials from The Talent Shopping Network (TTSN.co) announced this week the launch of a new, comprehensive online audition management and networking system for entertainment industry professionals, the first of its kind providing an online audition-making, submission, and management platform for agents who are in the business of auditioning and locating talent.

The TTSN.co platform is for agents, managers, and anyone in the business of auditioning and finding talent. The Talent Shopping Networks audition management system provides industry agents with a state-of-the-art program that streamlines the traditional audition process with an intuitive online strategy that includes tools for viewing and scoring each talent, managing the call-back and elimination process and more. TTSNs video conferencing technology allows agents to schedule live online video conference auditions with up to four finalists simultaneously.

TTSN audition management system is expected to transform the way the entertainment industry conducts auditions and casting calls without the expense and time sink that defines the traditional casting and management process.

With TTSN.co, the entertainment industry has its own networking site that includes options for adding talent and other agents to a network, and sharing auditions between casting directors, talent and modeling agencies, A&R directors and the talent themselves. For instance, one networking feature is a by invitation closed audition option for agents and talent that offers the privacy many agents look for when casting or auditioning.

Talent agencies and modeling agencies can even forward auditions from their clients to talent in their own network, allowing talent to submit their material directly to their client for review.

Three years in the making, TTSN.co is the brainchild of William Quinones, himself a former dancer and later manager of a singing group who experienced firsthand the challenges of breaking into show business and accessing the opportunities that lead to a successful career in the entertainment industry.

This platform for the entertainment industry professional is a huge benefit to talent of all types all over the world, because they will be able to make a portfolio with pictures, videos, audio and a biography for agents to review and possibly get added to the agents network, Quinones said.

Open auditions are available, and folks can participate in multiple online auditions from wherever theyre located; talented people without the resources to glide out to multiple auditions can still participate, regardless of their financial picture.

With more than 50,000 active auditions on TTSN.co right now, the site provides talent with the ability to download audition scripts directly, video record their audition performance and submit it directly to the hiring agent. The site also offers access to a video voice-over recorder and demo song recording capabilities.

For talented performers just starting out, or seasoned performers looking for new work, the first 10 auditions through TTSN are free.

Quinones calls TTSN.co an audition networking system for the entertainment industry, geared toward agents who are provided a comprehensive management system for auditioning for talent and networking with other industry insiders.

We recognized a need to give talented individuals of all types a new option for gaining exposure, utilizing all that technology has to offer plus the wide ranging scope of the networking sphere, Quinones said. This site is so comprehensive and provides so much more than has ever been offered in any online talent hub, we really do believe weve developed a platform for industry agents to simplify the audition process and for talented people to achieve success.

In addition to the TTSN.co audition/contest management system, agencies are invited to become part of the TTSN.co strategic partnership revenue sharing program, free for one year, and earn additional revenue as a partner by using TheTalentShoppingNetwork.com to conduct auditions and castings, run contests, and perform other functions. Participants can also share in the subscription revenue generated from using the system and by referring TTSNs management system to other entertainment industry professionals.

Contex is now offering significant savings off its award-winning SD wide format scanner series, plus rebates when purchasing any scanner with an MFP kit.

Contex scanners are recognized by industry experts as the top-choice for users with wide format requirements. Comparably priced, Contex’s open MFP architecture allows users to pair a Contex scanner with any wide format printer, enabling the best tools on the market to scan-to-print, scan-to-share, or scan-to-communicate. The sale ends December 31, 2010.

“The Contex SD4430 is a fantastic value. Not only does it perform at high speeds, it is also reliable and simple to use. We have our HP printer connected to it, and we can scan and print in minutes,” states Shawn Anderson, GIS Director for Tipton County government in Tennessee.

Also be sure to check out our HTC Thunderbolt mobile hotspot demo/speed test video! www.youtube.com The geeks here run a comparison of the 4G data speeds! We compare T-Mobile 4G over HSPA+, Spring 4G over Wimax, and Verizon 4G over LTE. The phones used in the video are the T-Mobile G2, Sprint Samsung Epic 4G and the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt. We are running the test from Walnut, California. We observed the same incredible speeds over Verizon LTE that we have been seeing in prior tests. T-mobile and Sprint's 4G networks performed admirably, pulling down about 3-4 mbps. It was no match for Verizon LTE, as the Thunderbolt pulled down 9mbps, and averaged over 10mbps down. Only time will tell to see if these speeds hold up once more users start using Verizon's LTE network HTC Thunderbolt accessories www.accessorygeeks.com T-Mobile G2 accessories www.accessorygeeks.com Samsung Epic 4G accessories www.accessorygeeks.com Video Rating: 4 / 5
