SeattleActor.com
Audition Board - http://www.seattleactor.com /news/modules.php ?name=ANews
Arranged by genre - Stage, Film, Children's, etc... This site is a re-branding and upgrade to SeattleStage.com. 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!)

Audition Calls on the Seattle Craig's List-
Craig's List is an open forum that reminds me quite a lot 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::

Actors Access * New * -
http://www.actorsaccess.com/
Nationwide breakdown services. Filter breakdowns by your location, playable age range, gender, etc. This one is the best, among all those available to actors in L.A and New York. It has breakdowns for many locations in the North American hemisphere, including L.A., New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Florida, and more. Not Seattle, though, not yet! ::crossing fingers:: Maybe someday! But this site is a must-join if you're going to L.A. for acting, even just for pilot season.
Backstage Magazine - casting calls * New * -
http://www.backstage.com/ bso/index.jsp
Nationwide casting calls for theatre and film. Big sections for New York and L.A., smaller section for all other regional and touring calls.
Now Casting * New * -
http://www.nowcasting.com/
Nationwide casting calls for theatre and film. Lower volume of L.A. breakdowns than Actors Access, but includes some TV shows not covered elsewhere. And, it has both a Seattle and a Portland category! And a nice set of resources for actors - such as complete listings of casting directors, a way to print out mailing labels for them, and maintain your own custom mailing lists of them, as well. Plus, a gallery of headshot photographers and more. :-}
Casting Networks
a.k.a. L.A. Casting * New *
-
http://www.lacasting.com/
Los Angeles casting calls for theatre and film. Lower volume of breakdowns than Actors Access, but higher volume than NOW Casting. And more commercials and indies per volume. Breakdowns on this system are usually also posted on Actors Access, and this system isn't nearly as friendly to use for the booking of appointments and so forth. They do maintain resources such as directories of casting directors, agents and managers in Los Angeles. and PDF files of mailing labels. This system also includes an internal sides service. Again, this system is for L.A. work only. Like, if you're going down for pilot season, that's the time to look at this site.
