Auditions: Wednesday, February 16, 2011

This page contains auditions posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2011.

Tired of working for no pay? As someone who considers themselves to be a, "Serious and qualified" actor, I have noticed that much of the work I have booked outside of an agency is either nonpaying or offers compensation that isn't monetary, like food, credit, and a copy of the footage for a reel. This is something typical of our industry, and I know that this happens even in the bigger cities, like LA and New York. In my experience, I have found that theater work tends to at least offer a small stipend, which is usually only enough to pay for gas to and from rehearsals every night. At least it's something, though, right? I'd love to get a discussion going in the chat box below! Share your experiences, thoughts, and feedback about the challenges of working for no pay.

Check out my new blog for Seattle area auditions here!

If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.

Thanks.

Actors desired for first read of new play

I want to have a new play of mine read in my living room (just for me.)

I know some people who I can ask but can’t think of anyone to play:

Hector- can be a thug… with a heart of gold?

Eileen- doesn’t think much of herself.

Time TBD.

Let me know if you’re up for the ridiculous and humiliating (only for the playwright) first read where nothing comes out exactly how you meant it to and the layering begins.
