Before most actors struck it big, they had other jobs to keep the lights on. One good job, that keeps you engaged in the field while earning enough to live on, is to teach acting. And there are two good sites that enlist freelancers to do just that.
LessonFace
Lessonface is an online marketplace that connects students with music, language and acting teachers, who can teach online or in person. The site has a great online interface that makes teaching online a breeze and charges some of the lowest fees in the industry, ranging from 4% to 15%. Read our full review of LessonFace here.
TakeLessons
Another alternative: TakeLessons. The site connects music, art, dance, acting and language teachers with students wanting to learn these skills. Registration for teachers is free, but TakeLessons will take a big bite of your pay when you book a new student. Read our full TakeLessons review here.
