I have been very busy this month going on commercial auditions due to the film and television strike from the SAG-AFTRA union. Being put on hold/avail for a casting decision is an exciting step, yet I was released from three of those holds in a row, and unfortunately did not book any of them. This is why many SAG-AFTRA members must find other sources of income alongside acting.
Since actors began their strike, a number of myths have circulated about the money they make and what it takes to be an actor. To find out more, tune in to my podcast Overheard at Chica’s Café where I interview Steve Walker a theatrical talent agent. He goes into great detail about the requirements for becoming an actor and the roles that agents play. There is sure to be something very insightful in this conversation. Don’t miss out.
