A character list with actor assignment, ensemble tracks, per-character inventory and mic assignments, plus exports.

Transcript

This video demonstrates how CueCall handles characters and ensemble tracks. Here you see your production's character list, showing each character, their assigned actor, understudies, and their track.

To add a new character, you fill in its name, description, assigned actor, and track. Once saved, the new character appears directly in your list.

Viewing a character's assignments gives you a complete overview. You can see which scenes it appears in, its assigned costume pieces and props, and any upcoming events, all on a single page.

Here you can easily assign props and costumes from your inventory to a character, completing your character management in CueCall.
