What does “checking your availability” mean?

“Checking your availability” means that a Casting Director is preparing the look for a show for a future date and is checking if you are available to work that day. 

When HBG Casting checks your availability, we are not offering or guaranteeing work, we are only asking if you can work without time restrictions on a specific date or date range. 

“Without time restrictions” means that there are no possible conflicts that would prevent you from working that day. 

When preparing for and booking their shows, Casting Directors may not know call times until they get additional information from production and those call times often change through the night and early morning. 

That’s why you need to have all day availability when responding as avail to these messages.
