Workshop
Understanding Taxes for Actors: A Crash Course
Hosted by
Deb Munro AKA VOChef Deb
About This Event
I can write off my cable? What about my cat? Being an actor means juggling auditions, bookings, side gigs… and yep, understanding taxes. But what if tax season didn’t feel like a horror movie? What if it felt like a script you could actually nail?
On March 23rd, join VO Chef Deb Munro for a 3-hour, one-day workshop built just for performers. With special guest accountant for actors: Frank Casciaro (US & Canadian Tax Accountant) , you’ll uncover:
- What expenses you can really deduct- The tax basics every performer should know- How to stay organized (without losing your mind)- Insider tips during a live Q&A
All this for just $30 — the best investment since your microphone!
Step into the spotlight with confidence. Your career deserves it… and so does your wallet. The only drama in your life should be on stage (or behind the mic).
