BackgroundBeat.com Down For the Count?

Looks like BAS didn't pay his bill again. Backgroundbeat.com's account has been temporarily suspended for non-payment. It ain't the first time either. For a guy that claims to work such lucrative and numerous jobs he never seems to have any money.

If I didn't know any better I would think he's nothing but a lying sack of shit.

LOL. That's a joke folks.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Question from a Reader

Hi,

As a beginning actor,is actoraccess.com postings a scam. They charge $2.00 for each electronic submission.thanks.

jas.

Hey Jas,

Actorsaccess is not a scam at all. If you are looking for "principal" roles this is a valuable tool for you to have. Actors Access and LA Casting (Casting Networks) are the two "must have" online services for any actor pursuing speaking roles.

If you are pursuing background work, Actors Access is virtually useless. Their background section (extrasaccess.com) only lists about 5-10% of the jobs that LA Casting and Hollywood O/S does on a daily basis. Only one casting director (Sande Alessi) uses them exclusively. Unfortunately she only uses them for hard to find or specialty roles.

Here's an easy breakdown:

Principal roles: Actors Access and LA Casting (Casting Networks).

Background roles: Hollywood O/S and LA Casting (Casting Networks).

If you can only afford one, and want to do both, go with LA Casting (Casting Networks).

Hope that helps.
