As an Actress how much should I charge per hour?

Question:This is for a green screen shoot, done low budget for a company out West. This would be the first time anyone has ever come to me, on a professional basis, for an acting gig.

Usually for a new talent, they will offer you the lowest amount they can, if anything. If this is for a legitimate project, as opposed to a student film or something of that nature, you should strongly consider asking an agent or entertainment attorney to help you negotiate a contract. It sounds like you are not experienced at the business end, and there are lots of people who want to take advantage of actors.

Depends if you have to get naked or not. I would charge more for that.

is this for porn? what you working with? "talent" get more money.

You should consider doing it for free. (Just to have something to put on your resume)

If you want to charge, I would suggest remembering that the world is replete with people willing to step into your shoes for free. And, that stand-ins and extras with speaking roles typically get paid between 100 and 200 per day, for a 15 hour day. Base your rate on that.

Also... Get your SAG card.

you should get an agent...don't get scamed...it could be the end of your potential career.
