This page contains auditions posted on Monday, February 28, 2011.
On the Portland Auditions Blog, we have had a month of very interesting discussions in the chat box. As we come to the end of the month, I wanted to revisit a brief discussion that we had in the chat box regarding working for little or no pay. An article is circulating the world of Facebook, and I felt it was worth mentioning. This well written article reviews situations we typically encounter as artists, and outlines when it may be okay to work for no monetary compensation.
I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and feedback on this!
If you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.
