I've read the FAQ & Rules SAG only weekly audition rate LA/NY

Hey guys, I wanted to check in and see how slow it's been for sag members.

Of course, everyone's going to have a bit of a different number especially with different coasts but just as an estimate. What's your weekly audition numbers looking like?

Edit: if you've got union auditions coming in, go for posting. Looking to not inflate the numbers with non union work. Thank you

Just joined SAG this past summer. Right now I’m looking at around 5-6 TV/film auditions a month. Mainly co-star and supporting roles in film, with the occasional Recurring/Series Regular. Ebbs and flows but that’s where it’s sitting right now.

I get more SAG shorts and recently more recurring But very few co-stars

I seem to get 2-4 every other week and 0-1 on the off-week

How are you getting your auditions?

Averaging a little more than half an audition per month. That would be 5 auditions this year so far. Easily the slowest it has been for me in the last 10 years or so.

Its brutal

I am averaging 10-15 SAG auditions a month.  This year I have had a total of 73 SAG auditions, 12 callbacks and 7 bookings.  I left LA after about 15 years in 2016, took a major break from it all to get married and have kids, and am now in Chicago area.  I do have reps in multiple markets though which truly helps.  I also self submit like crazy.  Majority of what I am booking is filming in Chicago, Midwest and all over SE/Atlanta region.  It’s mostly guest stars, supporting roles in films and commercials.  They film a lot of SAG commercials out of Detroit area.

Do you still self submit or not anymore?

u/apestymagician 1d ago

Yes but not as much - my numbers are from agents only Recently I have hardly gotten auditions from self submissions

From my reps, I haven’t gotten anything in awhile. Everything is from self submitting and it’s like 1-2 a week maybe.

I was averaging at least one a week for the first 5 months then it dried down.

I've gotten 3 since then, not counting 3 I self submitted for.

1 union audition maybe every two weeks. I play college age white female. I’m in LA, but all my auditions are for out of town stuff. I have a friend who is early thirties white male model-type (skinny, not buff) in LA, and he’s literally been getting 4-5 a week for the last month. 😭 I need new reps haha
