Let's talk about scams. With the removal of the Craigslist Adult section, these posts are now filtering through the normal acting audition posts, adding more work to those searching for legitimate work. Other listservs and audition sites have an approval process to limit the number of scams that slip through.
What red flags are you looking for in determining whether a post is legitimate? There have been quite a few recent posts where they promise a large sum of "$1,000-2,500" or even "$5,000-7,500" a day for a shoot without memorization, and the catch was that you could not be represented by an agency. This posed some concerns in my mind. Let's get a discussion going in the chat box about this topic. Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences in searching for work, and the tips you have for ensuring work is legitimate.
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.
