What is the difference between a logline and a breakdown?
Your logline is reserved for a concise description of the type of project that you’re casting for — not who you’re casting. Your logline can include a brief description of the plot, story, or theme. And it should include what type of project it is (a “black-box theatre production,” “HD DV film,” “35mm musical film,” or “comedy club open-mike night,” etc.). Your character breakdown is the paragraph that lists what you’re seeking. Try to keep excessive plot description out of your character breakdown unless absolutely necessary, as it can substantially add to the overall cost of your notice (and it obscures your exact needs, keeping you from getting the best response possible from our readers). Remember, you’re seeking specific physical types with particular experiences, skills, training, and vocal ranges. So state exactly what you need, no more and no less. Whenever necessary, you might want to just cast for the leading parts or combine certain roles in order to keep your word-count on
