To Pay Or Not To Pay?
Well, it depends.
A friend recently asked me about a casting website for voiceovers in England. I didn't have any real feedback for her regarding that particular site but it made me think about the casting venues that I do know and that I use here in the US on a daily basis.
First off, let me dispel some myths.
Just because a website promises to book you work and put money in your pocket it doesn't guarantee anything. At best it will fill your email box with lists of the many auditions currently happening in the city and offer you a chance to submit yourself.
In some cases, for those of us who are currently without representation, it can get our foot in a door that may have previously been closed - for example perhaps an ad agency has exhausted its resources with agents and CD's and is looking for new talent beyond the pool they've already tapped. Actors Access and other such sites are a goldmine for them.
