The Audition Log
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Audition Log is an audition tracker for actors on iPhone and iPad. Record every audition, who was in the room, what you wore, and how it went, then keep your monologues, headshots, resumes, and expenses in the same app. Never walk out of a room and forget everything again. LOG EVERY AUDITION Capture the details while they are still fresh: the project and role, who was in the room, what you wore, which monologue you performed, and how it felt. When a callback arrives weeks later, you will know exactly what you did, because you wrote it down. • Log theatre, on-camera, and voiceover auditions • Mark each one as an open audition (EPA, ECC, open call) or an agent call • Track the format: monologue, musical audition, readings and sides, pic and resume submission, or self tape • Attach sides, scripts, and photos to each audition BEFORE YOU WALK IN • Add the audition date to your calendar from the date field • Open the casting office in Google Maps with one tap • For self tapes, add the link and due date, then turn on Remind me and choose how many days in advance. The reminder goes into the Reminders app. CALLBACKS AND RESULTS Mark each audition Submitted, Pending, Callback, Offer, or Not right now. Choose Callback and add the callback date from a calendar and the callback location, with a Google Maps link. Your home screen counts everything automatically: total auditions, theatre versus on-camera versus voiceover, and every result. Tap any count to see just those auditions. MONOLOGUE LIBRARY Store your repertoire with a text editor (bold, italic, lists) and filter by classical, contemporary, TV and film, comedic, dramatic, or musical. Bring in text from PDF, Word, or plain text files. HEADSHOTS AND RESUMES Upload your materials once and preview any file. Select several and email them to a casting office or agent from inside the app. TRACK EXPENSES Log what auditioning costs: headshots, classes, travel, sheet music, theatre tickets, and more. Amounts format as currency as you type, and the list keeps a running total in date order. Export to Excel or CSV, or copy everything into a new Google Sheet. INDUSTRY RESOURCES Casting director directories for New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Florida, the Southwest, and Washington, DC. Agent and manager listings by city. Rehearsal and performance spaces in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Direct links to Actors' Equity Association, SAG-AFTRA, Actors Access, and Casting Networks. ICLOUD SYNC Your audition log, monologues, and expenses sync between your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. Uploaded files stay on the device you added them to. BUILT FOR ACTORS No subscriptions. No ads. No data collection. The Audition Log was built by an actor who was tired of losing the details that matter. Your data lives on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We never see it. Visit us at theauditionlog.com 2916 characters. ## Fixes to the current listing - The current description says everything syncs through iCloud. Uploaded files (headshots, resumes, sides) stay on the device, so the text above says that your log, monologues, and expenses sync and that files stay put. The website says the same. - The current resources paragraph leaves out Washington, DC. It is included above.
