SeattleActor.com Audition Board- August 17, 2007 - Warning: Linkrot alert! The link below has changed, and you may need to change your bookmarks! The old direct link to the SeattleActor.com auditions site (http://www.seattleactor.com/auditions/) was recently rendering a temporary outage notice. It's morphed in recent weeks from a "temporarily offline and we'll be back up tonight" (for many nights) to a "Cannot Find Server" error on the SeattleActor.com domain name. Today, it's back to the main screen is up, with a new address to the audition notices and the old address back to rendering "we'll be back up tonight" (hence the linkrot that still needs repair). I've changed the link below today, and see if that remains stable. So sad that web developers can't do better change management! ::sigh::
http://www.seattleactor.com/news/modules.php?name=ANews
Arranged by genre - Stage, Film, Children's, etc... This site is the new and improved SeattleStage.com, and it was a fabulous upgrade until they got linkrot! Lots of great content and pretty graphics! Plus, from the perspective of the posting organizations, it's free - no fee or membership required to post auditions. Very nice. ( Except for the propensity to linkrot. Death to Linkrot!)

schedule so you can come in knowing your conflicts, detailed description of
roles being cast, synopsis of the piece to jog your memory... ::happy sigh::
If only every audition call could be like theirs. :-}

Audition Calls on the Seattle Craig's List- Craig's List is an open forum that reminds me of the old days of usenet news boards. There is only light moderation, so pretty much anything goes. I'm just saying, it's always important to check out any company posting an audition post to ensure your safety, but... well, you'll see! The folks on this board are not shy about speaking up when something even slightly hinky is posted, surfer beware!
::chuckle::
-
talent gigs:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tlg/ - for all sorts of gigs - actors, models, musicians, singers, you name it, someone's posting for it. Again, this is an open forum - check the postings out before responding, for your own safety!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tfr/ - more on the crew/ tech side for film and parties and many other events. Some folks do post talent calls here, though.
-
art/media/design jobs:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/med/ calls for artists, photographers, graphics designers, print and experiential designs, User Interface Designers, etc.
- "etc" jobs:For some reason, some casting calls are posted here:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/etc/
- this is generally a catch-all area for anything that doesn't fit in other categories, but some confused folks do put casting calls here. I guess it's difficult to find the other areas, or they're trolling for non-experienced talents, or who knows what! ::chuckle:: Again, be safe!
- Seattle/Tacoma Craiglist Portal If you have spare time to check for more, Casting/Crew calls are sometimes placed in other places - check the "Jobs" areas and the "Gigs" areas not listed above:

The old direct link to the Actor's Equity Casting Call site (http://web.actorsequity.org/CastingSearch/) is rendering an error message and sending you to a new address http://www.actorsequity.org/CastingCall/castingcallhome.asp).
