| "Talent agencies make most (all?) of their money from the 10% commission they get from what the artists they represent make when they are in shows, films, or tv if they are legit, as opposed to commercial agents (who send their people out for commercials and/or voice-overs). " This is news to me. Are you saying that commercial agents don't work on commission of the artists' salaries? If not, on what basis do they work? Do the commercial producers hire them as salaried employees? |

| No, sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that commercial agents send people out for commercials and maybe voice-overs, as opposed to legit agents who send folks out for theater, tv and film auditions. They all get 10% commissions if their people get the job. | |

| And that there's SOME voiceover/commercial work, no union theatre or film...Praying the agency which helps me will hang in there...they have been good about emailing us all. A lot of casting people & agents seem to be out there as usual charging actors for classes (online now), so there's still THAT income for them. | |
