Especially in today’s time, it is essential that you make sure that your acting or modeling job is a legit project. First Suggestion If you booked the job on your own, and if you have an agent, I highly recommend that you send the job through your agent. You will be spending (in most cases for modeling and non-union acting jobs) a 20% commission fee. But, that will be a great investment in your career. Your agent will know how much you should be paid and can negotiate a much better fee than you could. And, the agent will know whether this is a legitimate job or scam. Second Suggestion If you booked a modeling job on your own through a photographer, check out his or her web site. Make sure the photos look professional. And, that the shots are the types of photos you are comfortable being in. If you booked the job through an advertising agency, check out their web site as well. See what other companies they have worked with in the past. If you recognize some of their clients, this will let you know the company is legit. Third Suggestion If there are other actors or models in the project, then reach out to them to see if they have worked with the people before. Knowing that other actors or models had good experiences on previous projects, will help you see the job is not a scam. Fourth Suggestion Actors and models need to be careful when being told things that sound too good to be true Always trust your instincts. If something does not feel right to you, listen to yourself and leave. It is better to seem a bit weird and walk out of a situation, then potentially put yourself in danger. If possible, bring someone with you to the project. The friend does not have to stand next to you during the shoot, but close enough to make sure everything is OK. At least, let others know where you will be, what times you will be working and when you should be done. I am not trying to scare you in any way. And, the chances of anything bad happening are very slim. But, you do need to be careful when booking jobs on your own.
