A thread by Marcus Markou on Twitter about paying actors to audition.
Here's a post Covid thought that will be resisted by industry. ALL ACTORS must be paid something to attend a casting. It forces producers to treat the artists and the process with more respect, instead of some free meat market and creates respectful tone from the start. #casting

Highlights:
Be prepared for a "it cannot be done" reactionary response. These people are the problem and they have to either upgrade their thinking, find solutions or get out the way.

There’s nothing worse than going through rounds of auditions and then waiting — and not knowing if you can go on with your life or stay available or what.
And stop drama schools from charging for admission interviews. No universities in UK do that.
