CastingNotes™ is a performing arts journal that lets you keep organized, track your progress, and network with others working in your field— immediately see who’s working with whom in the entertainment industry and keep updated on on all members’ work, from high-profile jobs down to the “before I got famous” auditions, call-backs, castings, readings, training, classmates, performance partners, and so on that are so important in building experience, credibility, and relationships in our industry. The more you post— large or small, past or present— the better your chances of being discovered here and by Internet searches [6]:
Performers/Creatives [7]— journal all your work in one place to keep organized, prepare for upcoming work [8], guide your future role choices [9], and quickly build [10] complete work histories for resumes, and post-card updates to agents. Show them your full work history on CastingNotes when people ask “What have you been up to?”
Industry professionals [10] (e.g., directors, writers, agents, casting, PR, etc)— automatically track any activity [11] in any category, as soon as it’s published, to find the right match of character type [12] for your own agency/projects/ensembles, make referrals to colleagues, or RSS subscribe [13] to have site updates automatically delivered to you.
“Acting As a Business” [14] course, where he suggests that regularly updating agents/CDs on recent auditions and callbacks can lend credibility to an performer’s work history and help build relationships in the industry, I decided to start that process for myself. But while IMDb [15] has the “I’ve-already-been-cast” department covered, I realized there wasn’t really a central place to keep track of all the “before I got famous” work— all the auditions, call-backs, castings, readings, training, classmates, performance partners, and so on that actually build a performer’s career and shows who they worked with along the way. Since I needed a place to store, track, and publish my own updates, I thought it might be useful to give something back to the performing arts community and put together a public site where other others could also build on O’Neil’s suggestions— and my own interest in connections— by posting notes on their work histories as well.
non-performers [15] (e.g., directors, writers, agents, casting, PR, etc) to be used as a central, one-stop resource to automatically track any activity level, for any number of performers, as soon as it’s published. Standard
RSS subscribe [15] features let anyone automatically receive performers’ updates to their news reader, and full Yahoo!, Google, Digg, del.icio.us, reddit, Technorati, etc [15] integration supports personal and public bookmarking. In addition, CastingNotes™ is an open platform, meaning that you do not need to be a member to view work histories (only to post) and we encourage our database to be used by other systems to increase your visibility.here [15] and I’ll see what I can incorporate into future versions.
Keep busy,
