Actors aren't going to be acting all the time so they'd need a steady background job they can have to bring in some income whilst their searching for a role.
Many steady background jobs include things still working within the theatre job structure, such as a front of house member selling, buying or checking tickets, a stage maker, someone who constructs the staging for performances and others such as:
- Extra, for example a person walking in the background of a scene.
- Agent, taking the role of helping to get parts for other successful actors.
- Runner, this job could include getting coffee or helping on the set, always something new to do everyday.
- Working in the Workshop includes handling and sorting all the props or stage pieces for a type of performance.
- Script Writer
- Stage Design and maker
- Casting Director, help choose role parts
- PGL - Rock related things
- Costume design
- Costume production
- Backstage work
- Stage creation
- Volunteer - Experience
- Festival organisation
All these will no only bring in a steady income but also build up your experiences of working around and on stage, not to mention this might but your name out there in a few casting director's books.
