Bringing Actors Equity Association Into the Digital Age

Hello AEA and EMC Actors,

I have written a petition on change dot org called Revamping of New York AEA Online Audition Structure. I entitled it, New York because that is where I audition. However, the change would be national.

In this petition, I ask for bringing auditions into real-time. I would like to see posted on the Webpage, Number of Appointments Available active the day of the audition, Number of Alternates and Last Alternate Called, Number of EMC's and Last EMC Called. I would like to see EMC's offered online signup. I have asked for more sorting capabilities that allow stage managers to remove notices that aren't applicable, that allow gender sorting for binary actors that allow age-range sorting. I would like there to be an AEA app.

The petition goes into detail. Right now I have 90 signatures. I need hundreds more.

Understand, this is a jumping-off point. We need our union to join the 21st century.

I do not think I can post the address here. If you go to change dot org and search for Revamping of New York AEA Online Audition Structure, you will find it. If you are AEA or EMC, please sign it and share it on your social media.

If you have more ideas please post them on change or here.

Thanks,

Richard Lear
