In Reply to: Re: Auditions - No Pay why bother? Time for actors to get paid! posted by Nancy on October 15, 2007 at 19:58:45:
I'm an actor myself. On my program (which has a budget of $0 and is shown on Public Access, the poor actors television) actors will get a chance to appear in my program, if they are cast, and get exposure. Some exposure is better than none at all. I receive no compensation for the show and therefore cannot pay anyone. Actors that have been on my show have gotten "experience" before a camera, actually talking, not "Extra work" which is what most actors get when they get paid. They also get something for there resume. So don't bother, and keep waiting for the phone to ring!!!
