A colleague is preparing personalized videos for your accounts, and they have asked for you to be the person on screen. That is what a casting request is. This page is the whole picture. It takes about fifteen minutes of your time, once.

​
What is actually being made

Your customers each receive a short video introducing something, made specifically for them: their name, their company, and a reason it is arriving now. Rather than a stranger or a logo, they see you, because you are the person they already know. Nothing is filmed. LatentCast builds your presence once, from a photo and a short recording, and then uses it to present each video.

​
What you are agreeing to

Be clear-eyed about this, because it is your face and your voice.
  • Your and your may be used to present this particular outreach. Not everything, not forever.
  • You choose which likeness and which voice are used.
  • Nothing is produced until you say yes. There is no administrator who can approve this for you, and no way around it in the product.
  • You can decline, and you can change your setup later, which asks for your agreement again.

​
The three things to do

1

Make your avatar

One good photograph, or a webcam capture in the browser. Takes two minutes. See Your avatar.
2

Make your voice

Read a short script aloud, about forty-five seconds. See Your voice.
3

Grant consent

Open the request, check what will be used, and grant. See Giving consent.
You do all three in your own account, under Proxies. Your colleague cannot do any of it for you, and cannot see your recordings.

​
Why the sequence matters

Consent cannot be granted until both an avatar and a voice exist, because until then there is nothing specific to agree to. If the Grant button is unavailable, that is the reason, and the request itself tells you which piece is missing.

​
What happens after you agree

Videos for your accounts start being produced. Your shared scenes are made once and reused for every one of your recipients, so the first takes a few minutes and the rest are fast. You will not be asked again for this outreach unless you change your avatar or voice.
