What it costs, what stays private, and where every number comes from.
StageBlind is a free career-intelligence platform for non-union and indie actors. Paste a casting call and get a red-flag verdict in seconds, run an offer or contract past a clause-by-clause check for AI, likeness and perpetuity grabs, compare day rates across 56 role-and-city reference pages, browse casting calls pulled daily and scan any of them in one click, and track your own gigs and auditions privately.
Yes. The Red Flag Checker, the Contract Reviewer, Rate Check, the scam database and the casting-call feed all work with no signup and no payment. Tracking your own gigs and auditions needs a free pseudonymous account — no credit card, no real name.
Yes. You sign up with a pseudonymous handle. Your email is never displayed publicly. Other members only see your handle and what you choose to post.
They are machine-ingested every day from public web alerts and casting newsletters, plus calls actors choose to send in. Feed items arrive as a short snippet — too little text to scan reliably — so we do not stamp a verdict on them; instead every listing has a one-click "Re-scan for red flags" on its detail page that runs the full Red Flag Checker on the text. Calls submitted by actors are scanned before they publish. Always confirm the details with the original source before you apply.
Both rate tools are hand-built reference data, compiled from published rate cards, industry surveys and reported non-union pay. The /rate pages are a matrix of 7 roles across 8 production cities. Rate Check is a separate pre-loaded table covering 9 platforms across Lead, Supporting, Day Player and Extra in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and elsewhere. Both are reference ranges, not quotes, and neither is community-reported. The ranges themselves are fixed; the community percentile Rate Check shows under your own rate is the part that fills in as actors log gigs.
Pick a handle. Track your gigs privately — rates, hours, who paid late. Share the ones you want.
