The Actor's Checklist – A Resource for Media Presenters

Casting News Hot off the Wire!

Get the industry intel that helps you land your next audition or production gig

People waiting to be auditioned

This page wasn't meant to be a typical casting call board. Rather, it is more of a listening post for signs and cues that could eventually result in opportunities from the stage, film and/or television studio, and/or indie productions. Most of the sources that contribute to the feeds on this page are production companies, state location services, and the offices of SAG-AFTRA franchised agents (they do issue open casting calls), making it a viable alternative source of information beyond the familiar webcasting sites.

Beyond actors and varied stage performers the listings here will also be helpful to the camera crew, animators, promotions, colorist, casting producers, drone photographer, sound designer/mixer, lighting/key grip, gaffer, hair and makeup artists, producer/development executives, composers, and all the varied positions to be filled in the realm of motion picture and theatrical stage productions.

Whether you're an actor, camera operator, animator, composer, or anything in between, this intel from the news feeds is geared toward a diverse range of professionals across film, television, and the stage. While agents are key, smaller budget projects can be stepping stones. Get your name out, build your portfolio, and earn a paycheck!

Remember, when dealing with casting or production operations offering auditions and other production crew placements, always check for references, business licenses, or credentials as you deem necessary, and make sure they are in compliance with state and federal laws.

For performers, specific role breakdown details may not be provided in the listings. Just foresight and tips about feature film, television, and commercial projects that are currently or imminently casting. Interpret the industry news and information you parse through here as an opportunity to act proactively and pursue further information from emerging details.

There will be a mix of news and industry intel aimed toward forward-thinking performing talent that considers themselves industry savvy, and pre- and post-production media professionals and talent as well. Ultimately (and traditionally) the greatest opportunities in motion picture and scripted broadcast television will come through a worthy agent. But there are small budget opportunities that can give a performer a vital platform to ply their craft that will be projected to a receptive audience, and best of all, a paycheck.

It is important to keep in mind that the information relating to casting and crew calls may include inaccuracies or errors. There can be no guarantee on the accuracy or reliability of the information. Your use of the information is at your own risk. Get as much information from the source of the call prior to any auditions or submissions. Check that all posted positions should follow all Federal, State, County, and Municipal labor laws.

  • Geometry Dash
    16 January 2026
    Have you ever wanted to test your reflexes, your patience, and your inner sense of rhythm all at once? Then prepare to jump into the vibrant, challenging, and often frustratingly addictive world of Geometry Dash. This isn't just another platformer; it's a pulse-pounding, music-synced obstacle course that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Forget sprawling worlds and intricate storylines; Geometry Dash, strips the platforming genre down to its core: jump, fly, and survive. But don't let its simple premise fool you. Mastering this game requires precision, dedication, and the ability to learn from your countless, inevitable, and often hilarious failures. This isn't a guide to turning you into a Geometry Dash pro overnight (that takes dedication and practice!). Instead, think of this as your friendly introduction to the game, a breakdown of the basics, and a few helpful pointers to get you started on your rhythmic journey. Navigating the Neon Nightscape: Understanding the Gameplay At its heart, Geometry Dash is all about timing. You control a small geometric shape – initially a cube, but you can unlock plenty more – and your goal is to navigate a level filled with spikes, blocks, and other deadly obstacles. Your little cube is constantly moving forward, and you only have one action: jump. A single tap on your screen or mouse button sends your cube soaring upwards. The catch? Every jump needs to be perfectly timed to avoid those aforementioned hazards. One wrong move, one millisecond too late or too early, and you're back to the beginning. It sounds brutal, and sometimes it is, but the instant respawn system means you can instantly try again, learning from your mistakes with each attempt. Beyond the basic cube, you'll unlock other forms of transportation, each with its own unique mechanics. Here are a few you’ll encounter: • The Ship: Flying the ship requires holding down your mouse button or touching the screen to make it ascend, and releasing to let it fall. Mastering the ship takes practice and a delicate touch. • The Ball: Think of the ball as a gravity-defying cube. Tapping the screen switches its gravity, sending it either up or down. • The UFO: Similar to the ship, the UFO allows you to jump, but the jump is much shorter and more controlled. Precise tapping is key. • The Wave: The wave travels diagonally, and tapping the screen changes its direction. This form requires quick reflexes and anticipation. • The Robot: The robot can jump over obstacles, but can also hold down the jump button to jump further, though less high. • The Spider: Similar to the ball, but instead of switching gravity, the spider can teleport to the opposite wall of the platform. Each level introduces these different forms gradually, teaching you their mechanics and challenging you to master them in combination. The music plays a crucial role, too. The rhythm and beat of the music are perfectly synced with the obstacles, giving you an auditory cue to help you time your jumps. Cracking the Code: Tips and Tricks for Aspiring Dashers So, you're ready to dive in? Here are a few pointers to help you survive those early levels and maybe even conquer some harder challenges: • Practice, Practice, Practice: There's no substitute for experience. Don't be afraid to replay levels repeatedly, even if you're getting frustrated. Each attempt will help you memorize the layout and improve your timing. • Use Practice Mode: Every level in Geometry Dash has a practice mode. This allows you to place checkpoints throughout the level, so you don't have to restart from the beginning every time you crash. Use it liberally, especially on challenging sections. • Listen to the Music: The music is more than just a catchy soundtrack; it's a vital tool for timing your jumps. Pay attention to the beat and try to synchronize your actions with the rhythm. • Adjust Your Settings: The game allows you to adjust various settings, such as the frame rate and input lag. Experiment with these settings to find what works best for your device and play style. • Don't Get Discouraged: Geometry Dash is a challenging game, and you will fail – a lot. Don't let the frustration get to you. Remember, every failure is a learning opportunity. • Take Breaks: If you're starting to get burned out or frustrated, take a break. Come back to the game later with a fresh perspective. From Frustration to Flow: Embracing the Geometry Dash Experience Geometry Dash is more than just a game; it's an experience. It's about pushing your limits, overcoming challenges, and finding a sense of accomplishment in conquering seemingly impossible levels. It's about the satisfaction of perfectly timing a jump to the beat of the music, the frustration of crashing just before the finish line, and the pure elation of finally completing a level you've been struggling with for hours. So, go ahead, take the plunge. Download Geometry Dash and prepare to enter a world of rhythmic platforming, challenging gameplay, and addictive fun. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve. Good luck, and happy dashing!

  • Shred the Slopes in Style: Our Deep Dive into Snow Rider 3D!
    12 January 2026
    Ready to ditch the virtual beach and embrace the chill? We’re diving headfirst into a frosty phenomenon that’s been taking the online gaming world by storm: Snow Rider 3D! Forget sunshine and sand; it's time to grab your virtual sled and carve some serious lines down treacherous, thrilling, and downright crazy slopes! What is Snow Rider 3D? The Gist of the Glacial Grind Snow Rider 3D is a free-to-play online game where you take control of a sledder navigating a series of increasingly challenging 3D courses. Think of it as a winter-themed rollercoaster ride where you're the rollercoaster. The game focuses on skill, precision, and a healthy dose of risk-taking as you dodge obstacles, collect coins, and attempt to conquer each course in record time. Developed by a team dedicated to delivering fun and accessible gaming experiences, Snow Rider 3D provides instant entertainment with no downloads or installations needed. Just fire up your browser and get ready to shred! The exact release date information is a bit scattered, but it has gained significant popularity throughout 2022 and 2023, becoming a go-to for quick gaming fixes. How to Become a Snow Rider 3D Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide Alright, eager snow bunnies, let's get you started on your path to becoming a Snow Rider 3D master! The controls are simple to learn but difficult to truly master, which is part of the game’s charm. Here's a breakdown: Movement: The primary controls are the left and right arrow keys (or A and D keys if you prefer). These keys steer your sled left and right, allowing you to navigate the winding paths. Speed Control: There isn't a dedicated speed control. Your sled automatically moves forward, meaning your focus is entirely on steering and obstacle avoidance. Embrace the momentum! The Goal: The ultimate goal is to reach the end of each course without crashing. Easier said than done, right? Along the way, you'll want to collect as many coins as possible. These coins can be used to unlock new sleds and customize your riding experience. Obstacle Avoidance: This is where the real challenge lies. The courses are filled with a variety of obstacles, including: Gaps: You'll need to steer precisely to jump over gaps in the track. Misjudge your approach, and it's game over! Barriers: Wooden barriers are scattered throughout the courses. Some can be dodged, while others require you to steer through narrow openings. Moving Obstacles: Adding an extra layer of difficulty, some obstacles move back and forth, requiring quick reflexes and precise timing. Inclines and Declines: The varying terrain affects your speed and trajectory. Learn to anticipate how your sled will behave on different slopes. Sled Showcase: Decking Out Your Ride One of the most appealing aspects of Snow Rider 3D is the ability to customize your sled. As you collect coins, you can unlock a variety of sleds, each with its own unique design and, potentially, slight variations in handling (though this is more subtle than dramatic). From classic wooden sleds to futuristic, high-tech designs, there's a sled to suit every taste. Experiment with different sleds to find the one that feels best for you and allows you to conquer the courses with style! Think of it as virtual sled fashion – express yourself! The Verdict: A Snowy Thumbs Up! We give Snow Rider 3D a solid thumbs up! It's the perfect game for when you have a few minutes to kill, want to challenge your reflexes, or simply crave some winter-themed fun. Just be warned: it's surprisingly addictive!

  • Run, Jump, Grind: Getting into Dreadhead Parkour
    03 January 2026
    Ever feel like defying gravity, performing death-defying stunts, and sticking landings with style, all from the comfort of your keyboard? Then you might want to check out the world of browser-based parkour games, and specifically, dreadhead parkour. These games offer a unique blend of challenge, skill, and sheer adrenaline-pumping fun, all without requiring a hefty gaming rig or console. This article aims to give you a friendly introduction to the genre, focusing on what makes a game like dreadhead parkour so compelling, how to get started, and some tips to help you become a virtual parkour pro. What is "Dreadhead Parkour" All About? While the specific features can vary from game to game, the core concept of parkour games remains consistent: navigating complex environments by performing a series of movements like running, jumping, climbing, sliding, and grinding. Dreadhead parkour encapsulates this essence, often offering a visually engaging, physics-based experience where your success hinges on precise timing and skillful execution. The appeal lies in the sense of freedom and mastery. You're not just controlling a character; you're learning to control momentum, judge distances, and react quickly to unforeseen obstacles. Each successful jump, each smooth grind, and each flawlessly executed sequence of movements brings a feeling of accomplishment. Gameplay: Learning the Ropes (and the Roofs!) The gameplay of dreadhead parkour is generally intuitive but challenging to master. Here's a breakdown of the typical mechanics you'll encounter: • Movement: Typically controlled by the WASD keys for forward, backward, and strafing. Mastering these controls is crucial for precise positioning and navigating tight spaces. • Jumping: Usually mapped to the spacebar. The height and distance of your jumps often depend on your character's speed and momentum. Experimenting with different approaches is key. • Sliding: Often activated by the 'C' key or a similar button, sliding allows you to pass under low obstacles and gain momentum. • Grinding: Triggered by approaching rails or ledges at the correct angle and pressing the designated button. Successful grinds can be tricky but are essential for traversing long distances. • Wall Running: A classic parkour move, activated by running towards a wall and jumping. Precise timing is crucial for maintaining momentum and avoiding falls. The specific controls and mechanics can vary slightly between different parkour games, so it's always a good idea to check the in-game tutorial or controls menu. Level Design and Challenge: Parkour games often feature intricate level designs, ranging from sprawling urban landscapes to treacherous rooftop environments. Each level presents a unique set of challenges, requiring players to think creatively and adapt their strategies. You'll need to learn to identify optimal routes, anticipate obstacles, and time your movements perfectly to succeed. Tips and Tricks for Mastering the Art of Virtual Parkour: • Practice, Practice, Practice: Like any skill, mastering dreadhead parkour takes time and dedication. Don't get discouraged by early failures. Keep practicing, and you'll gradually improve your timing, reflexes, and overall game sense. • Master the Basics: Before attempting complex maneuvers, focus on mastering the fundamental movements – running, jumping, sliding, and grinding. Once you're comfortable with these basics, you can start experimenting with more advanced techniques. • Learn to Read the Environment: Pay close attention to the level design. Identify potential routes, obstacles, and opportunities for creative movement. Understanding the environment is crucial for planning your approach and executing your moves effectively. • Experiment with Different Approaches: There's often more than one way to overcome a particular obstacle. Don't be afraid to experiment with different approaches and find what works best for you. Sometimes, the most unconventional solution is the most effective. • Use Momentum to Your Advantage: Momentum is your best friend in parkour games. Learn to use it to your advantage to gain speed, jump higher, and cover greater distances. • Don't Be Afraid to Fail: Falling is part of the learning process. Don't get discouraged by failures. Instead, learn from your mistakes and use them to improve your technique. Conclusion: Embrace the Flow Dreadhead parkour games offer a thrilling and rewarding experience for gamers of all skill levels. The blend of challenging gameplay, intricate level design, and the sense of freedom and mastery makes for a truly captivating experience. So, take the leap, embrace the flow, and discover the exhilarating world of virtual parkour. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve. With practice and patience, you'll be running, jumping, and grinding your way to victory in no time. Good luck, and have fun defying gravity!
