Don't Fall For It!!??
1. Ask for a Second Opinion from a Working Actor
Before jumping into any opportunity, run it by a peer who’s currently working in the industry. They’ll often spot red flags you might miss, especially if they’ve had more experience with agents, casting calls, or production deals.
2. reate a Digital Trail
Keep email communication instead of phone-only conversations, and avoid doing deals via DMs. A clear digital record helps hold people accountable and can serve as evidence if something goes wrong.
3. Learn to Read Contracts Like a Pro
Take a short course on contract literacy for actors. Understanding terms like “exclusivity,” “perpetuity,” or “non-compete” empowers you to negotiate or walk away from shady deals.
Keep Your Headshots and Reels Safe from Exploitation
4. Watermark your materials when sending them to unknown casting calls or reps. This won’t stop a scammer, but it will discourage casual misuse and make it easier to prove ownership.
5. Never Pay to Audition
Legitimate casting directors and agencies never charge actors to audition. If you’re asked for money up front for an "exclusive audition" or "training package," it’s a scam—run the other way.
6. Build a Personal “Blacklist” Folder
Keep a private log of names, email addresses, or production companies that have shown unprofessional behavior. This growing list becomes a useful reference to avoid repeat encounters and warn others.
7. Use an Alias for Early Inquiries
When responding to questionable castings or unfamiliar reps, use a slightly altered name and separate email. If that name ends up being misused or sold, you’ll know exactly where the breach occurred.
8. Ask About Union Affiliation
If a job claims to be “union” or SAG-AFTRA affiliated, verify it through the official union website or by contacting them directly. Scammers often drop buzzwords to appear legit.
9. Don’t Let Praise Blind You
Be wary of excessive flattery. If someone is overly impressed by your work without specifics, they’re likely trying to manipulate your ego. Ask them what they specifically liked about your reel, audition, or scene.
9. Join a Community or Actor's Network
10. Whether it’s an online forum, a Facebook group, or a local meet-up, actors sharing real stories help each other avoid pitfalls. These spaces are often the first to flag new scams making the rounds.
