Getting started

A quick tour of The Career Actor and how the pieces fit together.

Welcome to The Career Actor. This guide gives you the lay of the land so the rest of the guides make sense.

The big picture

The Career Actor is built around four things you track:

  • Auditions — every submission, callback, and self-tape.
  • Bookings — the jobs you book, including worked days and pay.
  • Connections — the casting directors, agents, and collaborators you meet.
  • Your dashboard — a customizable home base that surfaces what matters now.

Your first week

  1. Import your history so you start with real data — see Import from a spreadsheet.
  2. Log your next audition as soon as you submit — see Tracking auditions.
  3. Customize your dashboard so the widgets match how you work — see Customizing your dashboard.
