This page contains auditions posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011.
Let's continue this chat throughout the week and talk about extra work, student films, and deferred payment gigs. I know that a lot of people have shared their feedback and advice on accepting non-paid work, and there have been quite a few heated arguments on PDX Backstage about this in the past, but how do you feel about deferred payment gigs, where you could possibly do the work if the film has investors involved once they see the final product, or once it hits the film festival circuit. How do you look at extra work, where you are getting visibility on TNT shows, and feature films being shot locally, but you are making minimum wage doing it. Students films have always been encouraged to the actor just starting out because they walk out of it with footage for their reel, but how do you feel about seasoned actors doing student films?
This can be a very touchy subject sometimes because I know that filmmakers are not always able to pay, but they are still producing high quality work, while respecting and featuring their actors involved. Share your thoughts, input, and experiences, and let's start in on this topic for next week a few days early.
If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.

We are looking for people between the ages of 19-29 to fill 2 remaining lead roles; 1 male and 1 female. This is our first big time film and we are looking to possibly submit it to a film festival. This is a non-paid gig but as a reward you will receive an official copy of the dvd and soundtrack. We don't plan on filming until as early as late fall to mid spring.
Thank you,

Looking for podcast hosts!
Hello! I am Josh, the Founder and main host for Technothusiasts, Seattle's Premier Geek Podcast Network. Heru (the co-host) and I have been hosting the hand full of podcasts for over a year now. Well, to give us some time back, plus diversify Technothusiasts, I am looking for some new podcasts hosts for a few of the current podcasts and for a new one I want to start. Here is the list with a brief description:
Gear Up – preview/review the latest hardware. If you are interested, please be someone that either buys a lot of hardware or has access to a lot of hardware.
The Database – review software and/or web sites. If you are interested, it would be nice if you would at least have a Mac and a PC so you can review for different platforms.
What the App?! – review apps for mobile devices. If you are interested, please have access to all mobile devices (Android and iOS being the main ones…Blackberry, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 being secondary).
Tentatively, I may look for new hosts for Fitnotech and The Rundown if the right fit comes around. Fitnotech is the podcast about health & fitness and how you can use technology to achieve your goals. If you are someone who is really “plugged in” to that industry, then you might be a good fit. The Rundown is another one I might be looking for someone. Only one person is needed for that. The Rundown is the podcast about the tech news of the past week (like Technothusiasts) but it’s a quick “rundown” of each story in 15 seconds. So let me know if you are interested in that as well.
The other podcast that we don't have yet but I would like to is a podcast about video games, movies, TV shows, comics, etc
I don’t really have strict requirements. You just need to be available on a consistent basis to do this. You need to have a personality. You need to have knowledge and love for the subject at hand. Other than that, the show will be yours. I won’t be involved much with it besides the initial time of getting it going.
By the way, all podcasts have the potential to make money. Through donations and/or sponsorship, that could happen. Don’t expect to make anything right away but if the show is successful, it’s definitely a possibility.
If you are interested, please contact us today!
