Working as an Actor involves bringing to life the scenes and words of a script both on set and in auditions. However, for any Actor to achieve a long-lasting and successful career, they must find a work-life balance that supports their craft but also allows them to maintain their mental and emotional health. The rates for an Actor working on a cable show, streaming show, web series, or short film will be considerably less and fluctuate greatly depending on the medium. In some cases, an Actor might participate in a project for no or deferred pay.
