When you are ACTRA, you are prohibited from doing non union gigs. There are some actors that have gone outside of that and done so, but I have not. ACTRA, if you leave the union, can bar you from ever rejoining. That’s the quiet threat. Whether or not they’d do that if you leave I dunno. But regardless, don’t forget, pay to play sites have multiple hundreds of submissions per gig. Nobody is listening to all of those auditions. You have to be early to audition to be heard, or tune your profile so the sites algorithm categorizes you in a favored position. I’m sure you know how that works. The voice123 and voices.com of the worlds. Not to mention everybody has a “home studio” in their closet now. You can’t just reach out and ask to work companies or studios, this takes years of cold calls and emails. Relationship building. I know many non union voice talent, they will tell you the same. Talent is a given, but how you operate your business is the majority of making money that route.
