Nice! That inspires me🤗
@@itsrheachelle Awesome!! So glad to hear!
What does an industry standard headshot look like?
@@naziracisse6847 Great question! An industry standard headshot is an 8x10 color headshot taken by a professional photographer showing your head and shoulders clearly and this headshot can be used in major acting markets LA + NYC and smaller markets like New Mexico , Chicago, Atl, etc
Thank you, awesome explanation! In the running now, hopefully I get it!
Thank you!!! Your tips were very helpful, and you did a great job articulating them.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful for you
Laughable. No wonder you have zero subscribers-starting your video with 80 seconds of irrelevant drivel about your glasses instead of diving into 'right to first refusal' is CZcams suicide. Ever heard of CZcams 101? Clearly not, but it might save your channel from eternal obscurity.
I absolutely love, love, love all of this for you and hearing about your experience. Congratulations on the move. I did take my first step into the acting business and your sharing helps me to know what to prepare for. Keidra ❤
Yay Keidra!!!! so excited for you! Please keep me updated :)
I’m not eligible yet though.
No rush! Continue to work and you will get there 💪🏽
I can’t wait to join SAG
Really good explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks
You’re very welcome!
@bookthatcommercial There’s also LineLearner, which is a great app! You can record all the lines and change the voices of the different characters in the scene and you can choose if you want to hear your own lines or if you want to turn them off 😊
Hey thank you for the great tips , I wanted to ask where would you put a music video that you were a lead in that is also a short film ?
Sorry for the late reply...Music Video would be in its own section
Are you still in Atlanta?
No, I am no longer in Atlanta
Oops! Very informative!
Your information wS bery informative. Wow this is Surprising, but its the South! Thats how they operate?🥲
Thank you so much for creating this!
You’re very welcome!
Thank you very much for this info! I am a retired educator and my goal is to make or be in a national commercial here in Los Angeles, so your video is very helpful and I'm looking forward to your next one. Thanx again!☺
Thank you for sharing your insight- so helpful and actionable!!
You're very welcome!
Good explanation :) 🙏🏽💪🏾
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this.
You’re most welcome!
I'm in los angeles and I know someone who makes 6 Figures doing commercials. And she made $50000 doing a pharmaceutical. She told me that pharmaceutical commercials paid the most. And you can make up to a $100000 for a pharmaceutical commercial.
Awesome!!! I love to hear this! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Great Video and Great Insight!!! Can you please tell me where you purchased the back drop from. Thanks ☺️
I purchased my backdrop from an Art Store here in Atlanta called Sam Flax
Thank you for this!! Do you have the link to the SAG AFTRA latest rates for low budget digital commercials? Thank you
Here is the link to SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract Rate sheet www.sagaftra.org/production-center/contract/802/rate-sheet/document if you dont find the rate sheet you are looking for you can always call them
Are you suggesting that an aspiring Commercial talent get Commercial (ads) work from Casting Networks gigs to make a demo before reaching out to a Commercial agent? Because I don't see any other alternative for landing a Commercial agent otherwise, if their main focus is grabbing Talent who've done TV/Media adverts. I have a full service agent for both Theatrical and Commercial, but have mainly gotten film/TV auditions than anything Commercial (Which is one of my focuses)
Yes, this is one way to get commercial work. Since you already have a commercial agent, I would have a conversation with them about commercial work. Maybe you need new headshots, overall marketing materials fixes, take some commercial classes etc...get advice from your commercial agent!
Is Casting Networks necessary if you’re in SAG-AFTRA?
Or take the idea of 227. But a younger mother in an apartment building with a village and they are all raising the neighborhood. Talk about raising Family with the cost of food. Or whatever the issues are today. Sprinkle some comedy. Get a good director producer and film it.
I need you to be the new Good Times or The Jefferson’s. Or a 227 reboot. You can definitely be the new Mary.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
thank you for this video, it was really helpful!!
You're very welcome
I remember this air wick commercial! 😂 Great job.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this. Do you have any tips on how to submit yourself to get an audition? I don’t have any clips to include in my submission. Should I create my own clip or is it okay to only include a size card?
Only include a size card of their ask. If you don’t have any clips, you can still submit to casting notices on Actors Access and Casting Networks
@@KimAkia Thank you!
You're welcome
When do you get the usage rate?
Per the SAG-AFTRA contract, 12 days after airing begins
What agency was it? Was there a cost?
No legit and credible agencies cost money. If you are ever asked to pay for representation, IT IS A SCAM! RUN
This was very helpful and clear. Thx.
You're very welcome!
thanks
You're very welcome!
What about listing those credits on CN AA etc? Is that not adviseable too?
No, I would not list commercial credits on your AA or CN accounts!
That was excellent information.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
I felt that taking care of yourself is not luxury! New subscriber. Binge watching all your videos as I prepare to go after my acting career.❤
Great job thank you.
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video
Hey girl I just book a union commercial. This is my first time. Could you answer if you have the time? When do they usually give you the contract?
Depending on the production, they will email it to you beforehand or you will receive it when you get to set.
Great advice again I am gonna watch all your vids!
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying them
Thanks for the advice
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Love your channel I just booked my first SAG commercial and I'm so excited!
That is awesome! Congratulations!!!
Hi! Im a huge fan of your channel as it is very informative and realistic as what up and coming actors should expect. My question is, when u sign with a SAG agent do they usually give you a standard industry contract that is non-negotiable?
Every SAG Franchised agency runs their operations differently...you can always contact SAG AFTRA for confirmation! Best of luck to you :)
especially for the full time 2 year
do they help with housing for the 2 year program cause 18k a year is alot.
I never needed houses but there were tons of international students and I'm sure there was maybe some type of assistance
I’m finishing year 2 in June love the video
The part time is only 4200 rn and there’s a Fb group for housing
@@bookthatcommercial thank you for responding
@@randywashington5905 Thank you so much
hi kim- great info, thank you. Does the waiver expire? For eg, if received all 3 waivers in 2015, but decide to join sag 10 years later... This still allow?
I don't think they do...you can double check that with SAG-AFTRA. You can call or email them
We absolutely love Brian Jones! Shooting with him is an experience!
He’s Great!!! I had a wonderful experience with him too
Brian Jones is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YESSSSS He is great! Super talented
Thank you 😃
You’re very welcome! Happy New Year
Yes this is my plan! Start with national commercial bookings and use that to get me into other doors.
This channel is everything I need right now, thank you, I'm gonna watch ALL of your videos
I’m so happy to hear this! Thanks for watching…if there are any specifics you want to know about acting, let me know! I can make a video 😉
@@bookthatcommercial thanks for your response, actually I have no clue when it comes to headshots, in order to take acting classes they need to have my headshot, but I am a beginner, so. Should I book a professional headshot or can I take a picture with my camera and lights and "try"to follow my instinct when it comes to photography?
@@marialallave Hi Maria...Yes, some classes require headshots. What Market are you? You can start off with basic, inexpensive headshots to get you into acting class then upgrade later when you are ready to audition
