Personalization
Grow your contacts. Save pertinent information like where you met someone, what company they worked for when you met, how many times you've auditioned for a person and for what projects.
How does it work for you?
Audition Logs
Audition logs that actually track your progress and link with the database. What's working? What is not? Receive prompts to remind you to fill in important information on your auditions (who was in the room, any feedback, what material you prepared). Discover what is working and what is not.
Target People & Companies
Build a targeted listed of people and companies that you want to meet. Be notified of when they (or their staff members) will be at a networking event, a new casting project listed, or there is a change to their information.
Target TV & Theatre
Is there a TV show or play that you are 100% right for? Add them to your target list and be notified when
- TV: there is a change to production info, casting info, or if a casting director will be at a networking event.
- Theatre: a regional theatre adds a production of your targeted play, or if it is currently auditioning.
Networking
For the first time ever - ONE calendar of ALL of the big NYC networking schedules. Create a list of Agents and Casting Directors you want to target and be alerted when they will be holding a class or seminar. Furthermore, you can see what they are casting or who they are seeking before signing up so you are more informed when you walk in the room.
Taxes & Deductions
Keep Track of all of your performance income and deductions in one place. Never forget to record little things like transportation for an audition. Monthly and yearly reports make understanding the business easier & put you in control.

The Up-To-Date Actor is amazing:there is no other platform like this out there.
It's so refreshing to find a tool that finally focuses on the actor and our career, and that really helps you not only achieve your goals but define them.

I just have to rave about the Up-To-Date Actor. Like, holy cow, it is just phenomenal. I get chills when I describe this service to my friends. This database is the best actor's tool that I have ever encountered. I love using it in tandem with other industry sites so I can get more specifics on projects that I am interested in.
Probably the best two features, for me, are the searchable database on what projects are in production (or will be this season) across all mediums, and the "targets" section as well.

I want to thank you so much for your resources! They have worked tremendously for me. Since using your contact info 2 years ago, I have booked 5 Network TV shows.
Thank you sooooooo much!! I'm literally telling everyone about the database, it's magic!

The Up-To-Date Actor is an incredibly effective tool in learning to navigate your way around this industry. It's like having easy access to inside information that would take you hours and hours of tedious legwork to get on your own (if you could even get it).
It's simple and straightforward to use. The support is almost unprecedented. And, It has the best expense tracker I've ever seen.

I've been on my trail and have become OBSESSED with the Up-To-Date Actor! (How has no one else come up with this???) I have seriously never felt so on top of my stuff! I love how organized the audition logging/email reminders are! Looking forward to continuing my use with this site and all the new things to come with it!

I have found the Audition Logs very helpful.By defining my goals and seeing my shortfalls, I have since re-strategized some of my approaches to counter those shortfalls. So far it's been effective.
Thanks!

I used the Up-To-Date Actor to send out invitations for my upcoming solo show, I didn't realize how much I need this until I used it. It is so clear and up-to-date. The filter is great.
Thank you!

UTD provides clear, concise direction for actors looking to grow their careers. Using the strategies I learned from Annie and her team, I'm confident about the work I'm doing and the connections I'm making in the industry. I'd recommend working with UTD to anyone in the industry - from those just starting out to seasoned performers and anyone in between.
Their online resources are incredibly user friendly and help consolidate so many skills from an actor's tool belt. I left the workshops I attended feeling clarity of vision, a renewed drive to succeed, and a better sense of how to accomplish my goals.
