Charging actors money over a website? Waste of time and money, some of these castings are being posted on social media to people who don’t even pay for spotlight

Unless they lower the price to £30 for Spotlight. Since quite a number of actors pay for Backstage and Starnow. I encourage fellow actors not tare them.dowm. famous or not, we're all artists.

Equity is not job seeker platform. Without them many would not have legal protection when needed, work regulated etc.., Please stop comparing as there is no ground for it.
@ActOnThisTVАй бұрын
Thanks so much for your input, as we said in the video, we're totally up for hearing alternative viewpoints. The point is we're not comparing the services that both Spotlight and Equity provide, it's the double standards, that a company who earns tens of £millions from actors (and doesn't spend that money wisely in many, many cases) is LEGALLY going after another company for earning £millions from actors. It's hypocritical. We've received dozens of emails from actors looking for help from Equity, who never receive replies to their requests or get that help. Equity did NOTHING when a rogue agent conned dozens out of £thousands last year and it just seems like a bitter battle to get others to pay for actors' Spotlight fees, so they can then sign up to Equity with the money they save. When you lobby for changes to the law on what profits a company can make, that's a very dangerous precedent to set. We hope both parties can sit down and talk, rather than go down any legal routes and waste even more of Equity members' fees. These 2 companies have been friends for 90 years, it's very sad to see it come to this. Hopefully we get a peaceful resolution. And in regards to what Spotlight are? They're an advertising service for actors. Not an agency, not an employment business - they do ZERO employing. They are just like Checkatrade for builders. We illustrate that in the video a few times. Thanks for your input though and have a wonderful week! :)

Spotlight has been sold to American business which might not correspond to British fee charging regulation or fairness, however you may wish to call it. I fully support equity in their action regarding Spotlight. You can not compare Equity membership to Spotlight membership, they are completely different entities with different service. If Spotlight are not employment agency, not recruitment agency…not anything where law applies to them, what is Spotlight then????? Private business???? Trading where information can be sold??? They charge far too much for what they provide. European registry E TALENTA is a non profit registry and their fee is much lower and fair Disappointed of how you personally perceive this all together. Is it because you charge a fee also???

Dropped you an answer to all of this in your other comment! 👍
@ActOnThisTVАй бұрын
Oh, sorry I missed your point on E TALENTA - which is great to see as a viable option for casting in Europe. Please realise that the founders of any non-profit are still allowed to pay themselves hundreds of £thousands in salary each year though. Just because a non-profit can't make a taxable profit, they can divide income in any way they like - the non-profit label doesn't mean a company can't be very cash rich. And no, our opinion isn't based on the fact that we charge a small fee for our membership. It's based in fairness for all businesses, that's all. We also give away more FREE content than any other service provider in the acting industry. I can see you've experienced some of that in our 5 day challenge, where we gave away 12 HOURS of free content from some of the biggest names in TV. We do try our very best to be as fair as possible and to help actors of all economic backgrounds.

Equity is not proposing that actors don't pay so that producers and casting directors pay instead. What they see is that Spotlight is working towards the American model of casting websites like Actors Access, which is ruthlessly for profit and is not for actors except those with money or are willing to go into debt for it. Because Actors Access is a monopoly in North America, actors have no choice but to pay each time they put a picture up on their profile page, pay each time they change it, pay per every 30 second clip of video on an acting reel, pay each time they update said reel, pay for each casting submission, etc. Because of the amazing work of the old Spotlight owners, Spotlight has basically a monopoly in the UK, which they know. Just look at how much they are charging for courses now. The acting community in the UK and the high quality productions the UK is known for will crumble if good actors cannot be accessible to casting directors because they can't afford it. No one is asking for a hand out, but no one wants the artistic community to be reduced to a ruthless money making machine with artistic growth being de-prioritized.
@ActOnThisTVАй бұрын
Hey Carrie - thanks so much for your input and hope you're well! I initially thought the same as you - that Equity simply wanted a cheaper Spotlight, BUT... their official statement says this: "It is in our members’ interests that access to work is fair, and the costs of doing so are borne by the bosses, the producers, who are seeking to hire people." i.e. that producers, casting directors etc. bear the costs of actors being on Spotlight. I guess it's a little ambiguous at the moment, but it certainly sounds like they don't want actors paying. And yeah, I agree - the workshops/ courses Spotlight offer are indeed too expensive. That is one area they could drop prices for sure. Appreciate you watching - I know that was a LONG video! Haha! :)

You mention Spotlight is the only platform getting the big TV / Film projects, but it’s worth addressing the fact that actors do not get to see the those breakdowns, only selected agents do, so if you’re not represented, you have a lot less opportunity. Really only access to the breakdowns for short films, student films, Corporate, TIE the odd commercial etc.

Hey Lindsay - definitely keep an eye on the jobs board on Spotlight. I do see some awesome casting directors still putting out briefs for high-end TV (not just via agents). Casting directors like Des Hamilton (Top Boy) and 2 x BAFTA-winner Aisha Bywaters are 2 names I see quite regularly. You're right - some stuff will only go to agents, but you will still see TV briefs as an unwrapped actor. Thanks so much for watching! :)
