What are the working conditions of acting?

Answer 1

The career of a professional actor can vary greatly. One only has to think of how many aspiring actors travel to New York City or Los Angeles as an example, to realize that competition is fierce. Many actors choose to stay local or in a less competitive theatre/film scene and can live comfortably working a few gigs a year. Several theatre actors may be striving to join theatre companies in an attempt to maintain an active role in the theatre community. Once a performer has performed in enough professional shows (as well as meeting other guidelines), they may join the Actors' Equity Association. It is a union that negotiates wages and working conditions of theatre actors. A successful actor must display talent, knowledge of what is expected of him/her in the professional world, dedication, and patience in order to survive.

Working hours vary as well. A minor can only work 5 1/2 hours a day.
