Get Discovered on MIXFAME - Sign Up Now!

So… Here we are, you decided to become a talent with Mixfame and join its community of entertainment. Welcome! We are going to assume that you have the www.Mixfame.com website open on your device, right? No? Go for it! What are you waiting for? Let’s take this step by step; don’t worry; it’s easy and won’t take a lot of your time.

The first step to stardom and fame begins!

How to Sign up?

First things first, if this is the number one visit to the platform. We need to create a username and password for your account to log in at a later stage and create the profile. We’ll start by clicking on the Sign-up button on the top right corner of your screen, which will lead you to 2 options: Hire talents and Find work. Now if you’re looking for talents yourself to be hired for your jobs, you can go with the first option (we got that covered in a different topic though.) However, that’s not our objective here. You will need to click on Sign up as a talent.

Afterward, you will be redirected to another page where you will be prompted to enter your First name, Last name, and the email address to be used as a username as well as a password, of course. If you already use an email for a company profile on the platform, we recommend using a different one for your talent profile to avoid conflict in the system.

You may also sign up using your Facebook account profile.

Once all of that is done, you shall receive a confirmation email – give it a couple of minutes to be there. Open it, and click on confirm. Congratulations! You’ve just successfully signed up to become our future STAR!

How to create a profile?

Still here with us? If yes, blink twice...

Great! Onto our next major step. This is where we get to know you better. Tell us EVERYTHING about you down to the smallest, juiciest details! Starting with your childhood, when did you have your first baby steps? First words? Just kidding! Let’s begin.

Personal Details & Appearance

It’s self-explanatory: we need to know your personal details and how you look. We recommend providing as much accurate info as possible; this will help shape your profile better for anyone looking to hire you, meaning, increasing your chances. We wouldn’t want you to lose a role or a gig over wrong info. The Devil is in the details!

The personal details consist of the following:

●       Date of Birth – So we can celebrate it together!

●       Gender – Male or Female

●       Nationality – This is an important detail: in the case you have several ones, we recommend choosing the one you want to be identified by as a talent.

●       Ethnicity – which is defined as shared common culture and looks. i.e. Asian, Latino, Indian, Caucasian, Filipino, Middle Eastern, African (North Africa as well), and Coloured. (We would like to clarify that colored ethnicity is not related to any racist terminology. This refers to members of multiracial communities who may have ancestry from more than one of the various populations.)

The Appearance details are the following: (make sure to enter the current and latest detail of your look)

●       Height – Guys, don’t lie about it!

Location and Language

Next, we need to know where you are and what language you speak.

On this page, we need you to enter the country and the city you currently live in, not the country you come from. It’s important!

Also, you need to select which languages you speak as well as the dialects of each language. Easy, yeah?

Contact details

At this step, you will be asked to enter your contact details as phone numbers which allow the team of Mixfame to contact you about any roles and jobs.

You need to enter the phone number for calls and another one for WhatsApp. You may enter the same number for both.

Don't worry! Your privacy is our top priority. The mobile number is only displayed to clients if there is an Audition/Job for you.

Headshot

Now, let’s put a face to the name, shall we?

This is probably one of the most important steps to be done properly as this is what our team and our clients will come across first. This is your first impression, and we all know how vital it is to make a good one. Show us that beautiful face of yours!

The headshot uploaded must match the below requirements:

●       In color – It’s a MUST!

●       Recent – Always make sure to upload the most recent picture of yourself.

●       Full face view – It’s called a headshot for a reason. Make sure to keep it as close as possible with no backgrounds. It’s recommended to ask someone to take it for you.

●       Clear and in focus – Keep it high res.

Let’s add more

You’ve made it! Your profile is created and can be accessed at any time by simply logging in. However, the platform allows you to add more information about yourself to make your profile stand out more! Consider it an entertainment CV.

You may add Photos of yourself, Videos, and Audios as well as previous experiences and jobs done before, whether a shoot or a voice-over gig.

The Non-premium account allows you to add up to 5 photos and 1 video. We recommend upgrading your profile to premium and uploading up to 100 of them.

 

Why Become a Premium Member/Talent?

You’re onboard and officially part of the Mixfame family. We kept our promise, and it was all done for free! You are ready now to apply for gigs and casting calls as our goal is to provide as many chances as we can for all our talents to pursue their dreams of becoming the stars they’ve always dreamt of being and having a successful career of fame. But, how about if we tell you that you can increase those chances of being scouted, shortlisted, invited for auditions, and selected for the casting calls you applied for or the ones you received a notification and an email that are matching to your profile?

How? Simple. All you need to do is upgrade your profile from basic to premium by subscribing monthly, quarterly, or yearly to Mixfame by simply logging in, clicking on “upgrade” in the top right corner, and choosing your billing plan - keep an eye out for our promo codes and discounts!

Why, you might ask? Why would you upgrade if you can have it for free? That’s a good question. Well, let’s showcase a quick comparison between basic and premium.
