One of the purposes of implementing or mandating an "auditioning fee"
is to protect actors from the law of supply and demand, and the abuses
of the casting system.
Like casting directors having auditions for roles that have been
already secretly cast, but have the auditions anyway to cover up their
inside casting. You know, all the abuses that exist. Sometimes a major
star want to look at ****d actresses for fun so he holds "auditions".
There's all kinds of abuses besides "law of supply and demand".
It should be the Screen Actors Guild first priority to protect actors
and members. Mandating an "audition fee" is a start.
If some major star wants to look at ****d women, let him pay for it.
Why should he look at ****d women for free? Taking advantage of
helpless people just seeking work.
The Starmaker
On a personal note...Yesterday, a girl I know called me and asked me
if I would help her film a music video for her. She wanted me to go to
her house and film her with her camera. Before I hanged up the phone I
told her I want to film her ****d.
When I finished with her directions, I then told her to take off all
her clothes because I wanted her to do the same dance in the ****.
She said "Why?". I said, "Because I want to have fun!"
So she took off all her clothes and I filmed her ****d. And it was
fun!
She wasn't auditioning or anything, and I told her on the phone
ahead of time, so I felt I wasn't taking advantage of her. But for
Hollywood industry people to hold auditions just to look at pretty
women is wrong in my book (probably fraudulent), if not immoral...and
the actors risk their jobs and lively hood. An "audition fee"
protects them. It cuts done on the abuses and economic hazards.
