When it comes to an audition does being SAG eligable but not a current member affect your chances?

Question

My dad is hesitant to pay the fee, just incase I stop working or don't make or exceed the amount he paid. Money is not the issue at all, its just the fact that he doesn't want to spend it. I am currently SAG eligable. So if I go into an audition, will I have a less chance of getting a role then a kid who is a SAG member?

Answer 1

I don't think it makes any difference, I would add to your resume that you are SAG eligible where you would ordinarily put union affiliations. How did yo get SAG eligible without earning enough to pay the fee? Do you have an agent? If not how are you going to get auditions for speaking roles?
