Sarah Ramos Instagram – This video series is literally what led to me being on the SAGAFTRA negotiating committee. It changed how I view myself and my career. Editing my auditions into projects I wasn’t cast in forced me to spend more time watching my auditions AND the projects I wasn’t cast in than I ever had before. Brockmire? I don’t even know her! But I convinced myself that a recurring guest star role on the show would turn things around for me. Truly no shade to Brockmire but ??? LOL! ??? Why did I think that? Why did I give my power and worth away to a show I didn’t even watch? I felt so much shame when I didn’t hear anything back on my auditions, which were requested from me, which I worked long and hard on, and which I often produced great work in. It deeply hurt that my industry colleagues’ actions showed that my work didn’t even warrant a response. Or respect and decency? Let alone transparency, which we’re fighting for now in self-tapes, and compensation — which no one told us we’ve always been contractually entitled to. The point is, don’t underestimate the value of your work. I learned the hard way and had to unlearn it and now share it all with you in long Britney Spears-esque captions. Auditions are work. It’s the industry’s turn to act like it and treat us with respect. @auditionsarework | Posted on 27/Jul/2023 21:41:38
