Based on what you wrote, let it be. You made your point and she knows how to reach you. There’s marketing and then there’s begging. Onward. |

I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong, Bob). You can do "a" (singular) union job under Taft-Hartley and not become a union member. Your client would have ... |

Not a stupid question at all. You are referring to going fi-core, which is a dues paying non member. You actually have to turn your card in and resign from the union. You may not call yourself a SAG ... |

Well, let me start with the fact that you are damn good, Bruce! Very vocally versatile.

My tax returns says actor. When people ask, I say voice actor. If they ask what kind of voice acting, I tell ‘em mostly for cartoons. Etc. |
