In case you haven't heard about the Casting Networks fiasco:
Casting Networks is $300/year for talent and does not charge agents since we are the ones who represent the talent and well we bring them their customer base.
Last year they tried to start charging talent for "storage space" so that you had to buy more storage every time you uploaded new headshots or your audition. That got shot down quickly by everyone in the industry including SAG .
Yesterday they announced they will charge agents $400- $550 PER MONTH to be on it. So they want to go from $0 per year for agents to around $5000 per year.
Well of course all agents are boycotting this- it's pretty ridiculous.
This will affect the actors who have accounts on there.
Agents are kicked off by Sunday who won't agree to their new rates. So talent will be only able to self submit. Also there will be less casting directors on there starting today posting auditions because there are no agents to submit on their projects.
My suggestion for actors is not to join CN at this point.
Here's the petition to sign in support of the agents and managers
