Aaron Marcus explains what stand-ins and extras do on film and TV sets, and shares a story of an extra who got upgraded to a principal role and earned over $6,000. He's promoting a workshop that teaches how to find these jobs and includes a list of more than 70 industry contacts.
Hi, I'm Aaron Marcus, and I'm going to tell you about an incredible workshop. It's the secrets to getting stand-in and extra work. Just to make sure you know, a stand-in is the person who literally stands in for the principal actor, and it could be anything from a TV commercial, could be a feature film, could be a television show. And what the stand-in does is it allows the crew to get prepared to shoot the scene. They will have you sometimes say the dialogue, the moves movements, physical movements of the principal actor. And it's just an incredible opportunity to learn so much about the industry. And you get a chance to get paid really well to watch some phenomenal actors, listen to what the directors have to say, talk to writers and producers, and get, you know, better insights as to what they're looking for, what they do, how projects are put together. It's really an incredible experience. Doing extra work can be really helpful to you as well. Not only will you get an opportunity to see how television shows are actually created, how movies are shot, you get a chance to network with other people. And the other thing too is you never know when you might get an upgrade. I remember being an extra on a TV spot and I wound up going from being an extra to a principal making over $6,000 on a project. And so in this workshop, I will teach you step by step exactly how to find work. One of the bonus materials, it's a list of over 70 contacts for you to teach you how to get stand-in and extra work. And there are other bonus materials as well. Just click on the link below. You can watch the entire workshop, get all the bonus materials right away. And I know those will be incredibly helpful to you whether you are interested in acting or even modeling. I'm Aaron Marcus. Enjoy this workshop.
