Travel Distance For Gigs
Mar 24th, 2009 by Alan Yu
Recently my agent called me for a possible booking for a show that was taking place in an area that would require some good traveling on my part to get there. This doesn’t exactly sound like a life changing job either, so in that sense I was debating if it was worth it financially since I had to travel there.
Now usually it’s mainly the opportunity that I focus on as if something sounds like it can potentially be good in terms of pushing my acting efforts then I wouldn’t mind going the extra mile. That’s true for auditions too. Example, being considered for a large part in a high budget production is different than say a non-profit student film where you have to make a lot of traveling plans for.
But mostly though, I accepted it as at least it shows that the agent is doing something. At the same time the business relationship has to go both ways. If they keep getting me things and I keep shooting them down then I can only look at myself when I notice that things are going the way that I would like it to be.
