FAQ's

HOW DO I GET PAID?
     USUALLY YOU WILL BE PAID WITH A VOUCHER OR CASH. A VOUCHER IS LIKE A TIME CARD WHICH YOU WILL REDEEM 2-4 DAYS AFTER THE SHOW FOR CASH OR CHECK.

HOW MUCH WILL I BE PAID?
     EVERY JOB IS DIFFERENT, EVERY AGENCY IS DIFFERENT, WE CAN ONLY ESTIMATE. FOR EXAMPLE, WORKING ON MUSIC VIDEOS AS A NON-UNION EXTRA WILL NORMALLY GET YOU $100 TO $200 A DAY. COMMERCIALS WILL GET YOU AN AVERAGE OF $125 TO $300 A DAY. HOWEVER, WE CAN NEVER SAY THE EXACT AMOUNT. THIS IS NOT A 9-TO-5 JOB AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS SUCH.

HOW DO I GET THE JOB?
     WE USE A 24-HOUR A DAY HOTLINE THAT YOU CAN CHECK UP ON THAT HAS JOBS THAT ARE READILY AVAILABLE TO ALL Casting USA MEMBERS. IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO USE. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL IN, THE HOTLINE WILL PROMPT YOU HOW TO GET BOOKED FOR A SHOW. USUALLY IT WILL PROMPT YOU TO LEAVE YOUR NAME, Casting USA CODE, AND CONTACT NUMBER. WE WILL CALL YOU BACK WITH YOUR CALL TIME, HOW TO DRESS, WHERE TO GO, AND WHO TO CHECK IN WITH; OR YOU WILL BE DIRECTLY CALLED AND ASKED IF YOU CAN MAKE THE SHOW. REMEMBER THAT IT IS ALWAYS FINE TO DECLINE WHATEVER JOB IS OUT THERE, BUT THE GOLDEN RULE IS: NEVER TAKE A JOB AND NOT SHOW UP. THAT CAN AND WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

HOW LONG IS MY MEMBERSHIP GOOD FOR?
     YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS GOOD FOR ONE YEAR. HOWEVER, WE NEED YOU TO UPDATE YOUR PHOTO ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS OR EVERY TIME YOUR LOOK CHANGES.

DO I NEED A RESUME OR A JOB INTERVIEW?
     NO. EXTRA WORK IS VERY EASY AND SIMPLE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP ON TIME, JUMP AROUND IN THE BACKGROUND, AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. NO CREDENTIALS NEEDED.
