Union Question
Could anyone inform me about how to get in the union for acting and modeling, also how should I go about finding a agent for myself? May 15 06 03:50 pm Link There is no effective union for modeling. There are several actors' unions. The two most relevant are SAG and AFTRA. AFTRA is relatively easy to get into; being cast in anything and paying your initiation fee does it. SAG is harder - you have to be cast in a principle role in three (or more) commercials or a lead in a movie, or equivalent work. In both cases the initiation fee exceeds $1,500. There's really no point in being in the union unless there are lots of union productions near you. Most actors don't join until they have to. May 15 06 03:56 pm Link |
