You may be pursuing an acting career out of pure love for the job, but that doesn’t mean you can’t gather some cash as you’re doing it. Georgie and Pierce are here to clear up the money conundrum of the acting world with 7 rules on efficiently gathering the green to make your life that bit comfier.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Recognise your value. You are more than within your rights to ask for remuneration to which you feel entitled.
Figure out your day rate. A working actor is usually about £200 to £250. If you state negotiable it will keep your opportunities open.
Create your own opportunities. Do not be afraid to use your creativity in writing, direction or production to expand your options. 
Offer your other skills. Experience in any other area of production can increase your value.
If you have valuable experience, share your knowledge in tutoring or mentoring.
Make sure to leverage your branding and social media presence. At the independent film level, it can make a difference to producers to have a good following to market to.
Have an abundance mindset. There are so many paid opportunities out there.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Passion without some sort of payment is charity. You’re not doing this for charity, you’re doing this because you want to be a full-time actor’ - Pierce 
‘What we see is a lot of actors going, ‘I’m not going for paid roles yet because I don’t think I’m professional enough.’ – Georgie 
‘A lot of the top actors out there are creating their own work and they are doing it all the time.’ – Pierce
‘You’ve got your skill set, you’ve got your knowledge that you have already got through doing the difficult task of getting to where you are now. Now, if you can help other people do that, it’s only fair that you get paid for that as well.’ – Pierce  
‘There are so many projects that haven’t been created yet that will be created. So many projects just being thought of, so many projects that are just being cast.’ - Georgie
