Roles

Talent roles are gated by tier; player roles are open to anyone who has verified their email. Any role can be covered by an AI understudy if the producer's fill policy allows it.

    Introduce each act warmly, keep the panel to thirty seconds each, and run the final vote. Nobody leaves this stage feeling small.
