402 - Treat Your Talent As Well As Your Crew with Mike Nelson

Do you treat your On-Camera Talent as well as you treat your crew? If not, you should. They are just as important as your Gaffer, your Gangboss, and even your Director. They need to be given all the information about the day up front so they can be prepared and be a functioning part of the team.

We chat with Mike Nelson, SAG-Aftra actor, about what he needs to feel prepared and ready to work on set. We also learn how the shift from union to non-union has affected him and other actors like him, and some bonus tips for actors to bring their best selves to each and every audition.

Topics: SAG-Aftra, Unions, Acting, Commercials, Preparation, Auditioning
