PerformerTrack.com Will Organize Your Acting Career

As I was riding in a train from Alexandria to Cairo, Egypt I sat contemplating the recession and how I was going to make a living on my return. "Create a web service for something I know a lot about!" I thought. So, an idea was born: a web-based program that would allow you to track auditions, marketing campaigns, and even your mileage to and from a location. I spent the next two hours making an extensive feature list and a basic development plan.

Having been down this road before, I wanted to make sure a good web address was available. So once I got to an internet cafe I checked for actorslog.com, unfortunately it was already taken. By performertrack.com - which I discovered is a service that does exactly what I planned to create.

So folks, it exists and it seems to do everything. So as bummed as I am that my money making scheme won't work out, I'm excited to have this tool available to me. It's definitely worth a look.

I'm not in love with the price (~$10/mo if you buy the 12-month subscription) as I'm tired of paying for subscriptions to various acting-related services. However, given level of organization and analysis it offers, it just might be worth it. This statement assumes you're a couple economic rungs above "starving artist" status.
