This page contains auditions posted on Saturday, May 07, 2011.
As actors, we may sometimes be asked to pay for specific services that can be viewed as marketing tools, but do these really help us find work? Casting Frontier is a popularly used resource in the Portland area, and while the basic profile is free, the premium profile is a minimal charge of $10/month, but opens up some very valuable resources, including having a demo reel available for visitors. Another widely known resource is IMDB, which is $15.95/month for a professional profile, also allowing a bio, headshots, and a demo reel.
There are other free actor resources out there, including Actor Access, Actor Hub, Model Mayhem, but which are more beneficial to use, and at what stage is it necessary to pay for these resources to move your career forward? What are the online marketing tools you take advantage of, and are the free resources enough for your acting needs?
Let's open the discussion and chat about your thoughts.
As always, 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.

Auditions for SHADOWED - SAG Ultra-Low Budget feature thriller to shoot in and around Seattle
Daily Riots Productions is casting for a feature length murder mystery to be
shot in and around Seattle in September 2011. The movie focuses on five
friends out backpacking in the Olympic National Forest, and the murder of
one of them just before nightfall. We’ll combine their frightening
vulnerability with a side of ‘The Usual Suspects’, as the truth behind the
mysterious death of their friend Sophia six months before comes to light. We
are looking for actors who can bring this sense of fear and retribution to
life.
Auditions will be on Thursday, May 19thth from 6PM to 9PM.
We will need
actors who can commit to a 20 day shoot, along with rehearsals of increasing
frequency beginning in June. These will be paid roles, with SAG and non-SAG
actors welcome.
***
NATHAN:
A handsome male in his late 20’s who is quickly going to seed
ALLEN:
A police officer in his late 20’s who will never make detective and knows
it, so is always looking to assert what authority he has.
WILL:
A slick bar owner in his late twenties who is fighting to keep his head
above water and will never let anyone know it.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Need actors/actress for music video (Fremont)
We are looking for actors, actresses and extras for a music video shoot for a hard rock band. Wanting all types of characters - normal, weird, outlandish, sublime and everything in between. Venue is the High Dive in Fremont. Think about the video for Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" and you'll get the general idea but instead the location is a live music club. This is a great opportunity for exposure and have your face on camera. This is a non-paid gig but it should be a blast anyway.
Date is Sunday, June 3rd - 8pm
High Dive
513 N 36TH
SEATTLE, WA 98103
Please email for further details.
