ActorBook SMS Consent & Terms

How ActorBook uses text messaging for reader booking

What is ActorBook?

ActorBook is an audition preparation platform for actors. Actors can book "readers" — experienced scene partners — to help them rehearse for auditions. When an actor needs a reader, they submit a booking request through ActorBook, and the platform notifies available readers via SMS.

How Actors Opt In to SMS

When an actor selects "Text Me" to receive booking updates, they must explicitly check a consent checkbox before their request can be submitted. The checkbox is unchecked by default and contains the following language:

I consent to receive SMS messages from ActorBook about this booking request. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe.

Consent is stored on the actor's profile. Future bookings will pre-check the box (consent is still visible and removable at any time).

How Readers Opt In to SMS

Readers opt in to receiving SMS booking notifications as part of the Reader Partnership Agreement — the final step before going live in the Reader Directory. The checkbox is unchecked by default:

I consent to receive SMS messages from ActorBook about reader booking requests. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe.

This consent is optional — readers without SMS consent will receive booking notifications via email only. The consent timestamp and opt-in status are stored in the reader's profile record.

What SMS Messages Are Sent

ActorBook sends the following types of SMS messages to opted-in readers:

1. Booking Request Notification

ActorBook: Sarah needs a reader on Tue, Mar 25. ~45 min. Reply 1 to accept, 2 to pass, or 3 if you need to coordinate.

2. Booking Confirmation

Great! Contact Sarah directly to schedule: text or call (555) 123-4567. Please reach out to them directly — do not reply to this number.

3. Coordination Hold

Got it! You have 2 hours to coordinate with Sarah: text or call (555) 123-4567. Reply CONFIRM to lock it in or PASS to release.

4. Status Updates

Thanks! Another reader has already been booked for Sarah's session on Tue, Mar 25. We'll reach out when the next request comes in.

Estimated monthly volume: up to 100 messages. Messages are only sent when actors request bookings.

How to Opt Out

Readers can opt out of SMS notifications at any time by replying STOP to any ActorBook text message. Upon receiving a STOP request, the system immediately:

  • •Stops all future SMS messages to that phone number
  • •Sends a confirmation: "You are unsubscribed from ActorBook SMS alerts. Reply START to resubscribe."
  • •Records the opt-out in the system to prevent future messages

Readers can re-subscribe at any time by replying START. For support, reply HELP or email support@actorbook.studio.
