Once I am signed what are my responsibilities.
Your
main responsibility is to attend every casting.
Auditions are a privilege not an option and they
are your key to succeeding in the business.
Make
sure to keep in touch with your agent - you MUST
call or email them once every month just to
touch base.
When can I expect payment for a job I did?
Approximately 3 to 4 months. Reason for the
length is because once a job is completed we
must invoice the client. Then they must invoice
their client and then it must travel all the way
back down. So by the time all of this happens it
is approximately 3 to 4 months. Paydays are on
the 15th and 30th of every month. You must call
in to see if payment has arrived. Cheques must
be picked up in person unless otherwise
requested. |
How soon can I expect to get work? Or how come
I'm not getting any work?
Have you ever watched biographies on your
favorite TV and movie stars or seen them talk
shows or award shows? Do you think these people
became stars overnight? Most of your favorite
celebrities worked hard and for almost no money
for many years before getting that big break.
Getting work in this industry depends on a wide
variety of things. How much experience does
someone have, how busy is the industry are you
what casting directors are looking for at the
moment, do you have the knowledge to land the
part or booking when you get that audition or go
see?
#1 - We do not give people auditions. It is the
agency's responsibility to submit your pictures
to casting directors and clients for work that
may be coming up. It is then up to the casting
director to call us with who they would like to
see.
#2- To get an audition is an amazing
opportunity! You have to remember that in order
to get that audition you have just been selected
over thousands of other people to go in and meet
with that client or casting director.
#3- If you get an audition SHOW UP! DO NOT BE
LATE! Casting directors work very hard to have
everyone scheduled in at appropriate times. You
also may have to audition with other people. If
you are late chances are casting directors will
not see you. It is not tolerated in this
business. Time is money!
This is not the first impression you want to
make on some one who has the power to give you a
job
#4- Once you get that audition it is up to you
to land that booking. |
