What do I have to pay for acting auditions?!


Question:

What do I have to pay for acting auditions?

I was wondering what I would have to pay for acting auditions. Do I have to pay to audition? Do I have to pay for pohotoshoots? You know, stuff like that. And If I do get the part from the audition, do I need to pay or do LOTS of photo shoots? please name all that needs to be done, I really want to know.


Answers:

You shouldn't have to pay for anything, if you are good they should pay you right. They only thing you might need to pay for is acting or singing lessons if you need them.

If you are ever asked to pay to audition it is a scam. If you are ever told that you need to have expensive head shots done at your expense it is a scam. Yes you do need head shots, but a talent scout will put that money up front if they truly believe you have what it takes and want to represent you. I know too many people who have been scammed into paying upwards of $2000 for head shots only to have some really nice pictures of themselves and no prospect of work (unless its porn..I'm not kidding).

This is a very hard business to break into, you either need to know someone, have incredible talent or beauty or be extremely lucky (we're talking struck by lightening lucky).

My suggestion is to go to college or university for either theatre or music and then you will get in with professional teachers who have great contacts (think directors, producers, agents...) and know the steps needed to achieve your goal.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!
