Union Extras in Milwaukee

Milwaukee offers extras a chance to earn decent wages, but finding these jobs can be tough, particularly for newcomers. The reason? Casting directors prioritize hiring extras who are members of actors' unions over those who aren't. If you are looking to get started in the industry, consider looking at talent agencies for assistance.

  • Union membership can affect your pay, so be sure to consider it.
  • The number of films shooting near you will influence how much work is available.
  • Your location plays a role too — Milwaukee offers more opportunities for extras since experienced crew members get priority on sets there.

Being an extra on set doesn't require membership in a union like the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), but SAG does provide valuable support for actors. There are many opportunities for movie extras in Milwaukee so be sure to familiarize yourself with the local industry. If you're looking for extra work in Milwaukee, consider joining the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Once you're a member, submit a headshot and resume to be included in AFTRA's Milwaukee extras file. Since producers frequently contact AFTRA for extras in Milwaukee, having your information on file could give you an edge.

Joining the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) requires meeting specific criteria.

One requirement is membership in another performers' union for at least a year before applying to SAG. The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) is a good option to consider.

You must also have worked under a union contract as a principal performer, at least once. Many actors begin their careers as non-union extras in places like Milwaukee, but becoming SAG-eligible offers a significant pay increase.

The higher pay reflects the benefits and protections SAG membership provides.

Aspiring Screen Actors Guild members in Milwaukee shouldn't be discouraged! Just like any other SAG city, Milwaukee offers opportunities to work as a SAG extra. The key to becoming SAG-eligible is accumulating at least three days of work as a SAG extra. Milwaukee productions are required to prioritize hiring SAG extras before filling those roles with non-union background actors. However, there's a chance for non-union extras to step in if a scheduled SAG extra doesn't appear on set. In such cases, the non-union replacement would need a voucher.

Joining SAG in the US, whether in Milwaukee or another city, requires non-union background actors to collect three SAG vouchers. The key to obtaining these vouchers lies in making a positive impression on the assistant director (AD). This can be achieved through courteous behavior, remembering the AD's name, offering helpfulness on set without being intrusive, and delivering a performance with tact. Following up with a thank you note to the AD after your work is another way to leave a lasting good impression. The assistant director's mailing address can be located on the Director's Guild of America (DGA) website at DGA website: http://www.dga.org/. By following these steps, non-union background actors will not only secure vouchers but also receive payment for their day on set.
