What Actors and Models Should Do If They Aren’t Paid For An Acting Or Modeling Job – 2 Suggestions
What should actors do if they aren’t paid after working on an acting or modeling job such as: a film, TV show, TV commercial, modeling or voice over job.
In this video actors will learn 2 strategies to use to help get paid for the job. Actors will also learn what they should do if they booked the job on their own without an agent.
1. The first strategy that actors should use is if the acting job is a non-union or modeling job. For commercial modeling jobs, you should always wait 90 days before contacting your agent about not getting paid. That is generally how long it can take to get paid for the modeling job. After you have waited the 3 months, and have not been paid, then email your agent with all of the job details.
1. Date of the job
2. The name of the photographer
3. The name of the client
4. How much you should have been paid
Then let the agent know that it has been 90 days from the date of the job and say that WE (NOT I) haven’t been paid.
Just by changing that one word from I haven’t been paid to we haven’t been paid for the job, completely changes the tone of your email. It is subtle, but an important message to send to the agent. You are working as a team with your acting or modeling agent.
The agent wants to get paid as well. Typically, for commercial modeling jobs, the agent makes a 20% commission fee from the actor or model and also receives a 20% commission fee from whomever is being invoiced. So, the agent wants to get paid for the job as much as the actor or model.
You will learn the second strategy to getting paid for an acting or modeling job by watching the video.
