'the admin fee'
This profile has been archived
Yet again another 'film' company is applying a 'small admin fee' of £1 to audition.
This, whilst also stating that as it's a small role it will be 'a very quick audition'
What the $£*@?!!!!!
Is this now the way of raising funds??!
Hmm, I've had 300 people apply for this 'very small role' if I charge them all a quid, bingo I have £300!!!
I can get them all seen for 2 mins each, the hall hasn't cost anything to hire so ha I'm quids in!!!!
This is pathetic and by keeping it down to just a mere £1, it tries to make the actor appear measley by not complying.
AND before anyone says, 'well you don't have to audition' you're damn right and I won't be. I am not that desperate or stupid. I'll be exposing this mockery to all and sundry.
Good grief.
Hmmm....by the amount of activity this thread has generated it seems a hell of a lot of people have been invited to audition.
I can't get my head around it, and I have a feeling they may have shot themselves in the foot with the admin fee. I have a feeling LOADS of auditionees will boycott (as I will be too!).
Their loss!
Hundreds of people will audition, and they will get away with it.
M.
i feel left out, i haven't been invited to audition :-( Hahaha
but what is the casting everyone is on about? is it online still? does anyone have a link to the company for me to clue up on?
oh. P.S. Toni! i love your new headshots! x
MMmmmmm, Won't be taking the day off for this one!
Thank's Nathan - the photographer was brilliant and I'm really happy with them.

I'm deffinitely not going along...Made me laugh when I saw the £1 fee, just thought F**k that what kind of mug do you think I am eh? But if anyone's really bored and got nothing better to do it would be great to hear about what it was actually like...Any volunteers?
Anyone remember The London Shakespeare Company? They charged an audition "fee" of about £10! I was one of many non-paying actors who reported them to The Stage. They never cashed the cheques and the auditions still went ahead (I got the part of Malvolio) but then the show was cancelled.
However, it didn't end there. Some actors had moved down to London and paid leases etc. on properties. Again The Stage were alerted.
I remember on the day there were a load of uncashed cheques in the middle of the room and profuse apologies from the "directors".
