Training

Many acting coaches and regular classes have Equity Discounts. This may be advertised on their website, or it may not, so it is always worth asking. If you do weekly classes, it is often much cheaper to pay your union fees as a member than to not be one at all.

If you’d like us to ask on your behalf, please get in touch.
