Is the Equity acting group any good or is it a phoney rip off company?

Question

I looked on the website and it looks pretty good but i just want to know if its phoney or not. Also, how good do you have to be to join and will it help me become an actress?

tanks everyone :)

Answer 1

I couldn't agree more to what heavenly sky said.  Good luck.

  

Answer 2

their should be a spot on the web were you can ask about joining, but unless you have experience, they probably wont take you.  

Answer 3

Equity isn't an acting company, it's a union of professional actors.  Equity represents actors who work in professional productions and negotiates minimum salaries, working conditions and benefits.

Just look around you and you'll know that people are so desperate to act they'll work for nothing in a toxic waste dump.  It's our unions (SAG, EQUITY and AFTRA) that keep our work safe and secure.

Answer 4

Equity is the union of professional actors and stage managers. Joining it will not help you become an actress, as you cannot join unless you have a certain number of professional credits, or if you're cast in a Broadway show.

Answer 5

you don't have to be skeptical you just have to try to find out or you'll never know if they are asking for money then it's phony if they offer to give money then it's for real.
