Wendy is always "giving" valuable information and making it easy to understand.

Thanks for the great info. I am an actor who has worked on lots of union commercial contracts, and a few non union commercial contracts. Now, I produce commercials that are almost always exclusively web based. I have not been able to convince any brand I have produced for to pay union rates on commercials. Everything is non-union and just about every company seeks a lifetime buyout (not because they plan on using it forever, but instead because they do not have a dept to handle making sure they send checks to actors every year if the commercial is still online in some form.). If you search actors access for non-union commercials, many are only offering $300 or less per day, and that includes a lifetime buyout. The actors that tend to agree to these deals are either actors who are just getting started, or actors who just want to have fun on a shoot. I recently posted a commercial that pays a total of $600 for a day session which includes the buyout fee... and I received over 1000 submissions (all LA based) in the first day.

This was so helpful! Thank you so much

Do buy out checks come separately In the mail ? Or do they come at the same time as the day rate checks ?

About 90% of acting gigs are Non union these days why? Because production companies don't want anything to do with SAG because they don't want to pay more
