Did Not Even Know The Financial Compensation
Dec 19th, 2009 by Alan Yu
You know what was funny after thinking about it in regards to doing that work yesterday? People often say that you should always be passionate about the things you do and not necessarily focus on the money. With that in mind, I actually have no clue what the pay rate and financial compensation was for the project yesterday.
The whole process was literally the agency telling me I was booked, was happy that the casting director and production chose me, showed up, did my job and then that was the day. It didn’t even cross my mind to ask “How much are they paying” or anything.
For one I am always just excited to work on new stuff. I guess the other reason is that I guess that is what the agent is for usually so you shouldn’t have to get too engrossed into that stuff. Although, that made me think where it is probably wiser if I did ask ahead of time.
This is your business essentially and it only makes sense to keep yourself in the light.
