No need for me to worry about it. I can't get my agent to call me back.

Interesting since sites like Voices.com and Backstage charge a hefty fee to be able to apply to jobs. I wonder if this affects their business Jack Binder. I started doing voiceover work and have found the $500 yearly fee a bit hefty from Voices especially.

Yeah I've been wondering about this. Because it is illegal federally to charge people to apply for jobs. Casting Director workshops was a big thing that finally got shut down because of that reason. You were paying to read "for feedback" And I'm wondering how Actor's Access can charge to submit for an acting jobs. And other sites like Staff Me Up that charge you a monthly fee to be able to submit.
