The following services, requirements, or circumstances may require additional fees and must be discussed and approved in writing prior to the booking. These may include, but are not limited to:

1. Wardrobe Fittings

• Standard Rate: $100 per hour, one-hour minimum.

• Billing: Any fitting time exceeding one hour is billed in additional $100 hourly increments.

• Common Add-Ons (when applicable):

  • Additional fittings requested by client or stylist

  • Multiple looks requiring separate try-ons and approvals

  • Travel time to/from fitting location when outside local radius

  • Rush fittings scheduled within 24–48 hours

Common practice note: Fittings are often required for print, commercial, and brand campaigns and are billed separately from the shoot day unless explicitly included in the session fee.

2. Travel Days (Non-Performance Days Requiring Travel)

Travel days are days where talent is required to travel at the client’s request and is unavailable for other bookings due to travel obligations.

• Standard Rate: Travel days are billed at 50% of the original booking rate, with a minimum of $500 per travel day (unless otherwise negotiated in writing).

• Common Travel Costs Client Covers:

  • Airfare and baggage fees (including additional baggage for wardrobe/gear if required)

  • Lodging (hotel + taxes/fees)

  • Ground transportation (rental car, ride share, driver, parking)

  • Per diem for meals

  • Travel change fees or penalties when client reschedules or cancels

Client cancellation protection: If talent is approved to book airfare or travel directly and the booking is canceled or materially changed, the client is responsible for reimbursing any non-refundable travel costs and change fees.

3. Extended Usage or Licensing (Beyond Initial Agreed Terms)

Usage/licensing extends the right to use the talent’s likeness, image, voice, or performance. Extended usage requires new written approval and additional licensing fees.

Common triggers for extended usage fees include:

• Extending the usage term (beyond the original duration)

• Adding new platforms (example: web-only expanding to broadcast or OTT/CTV)

• Expanding geographic territory (example: regional to national; national to international)

• Adding paid media (boosting/whitelisting) when not originally included

• Adding additional edits or versions distributed beyond original use

Common renewal pricing practice: Renewals typically include an escalation (often 10–25% increase per renewal term), depending on scope and platform.

4. Overtime (Work Beyond the Originally Booked Time)

Overtime applies when a client exceeds the confirmed booking window, including extended set time, extended location time, delays, or additional required work.

• Standard Rate: Time and a Half (1.5x the hourly rate) unless otherwise negotiated.

• Common Overtime Triggers:

  • Production delays

  • Additional scenes/looks added on set

  • Waiting time beyond agreed schedule

  • Extended reset, lighting, or location moves

Best practice: The booking confirmation should state the expected time block (example: 8-hour day or 10-hour day). Any time beyond that is overtime unless a revised rate is agreed in writing.

5. Early Call Times or Late Wraps (Outside Standard Booking Windows)

When call times occur outside standard windows (commonly 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.), additional fees may apply.

Common charges include:

• Early call premium (especially pre-7:00 a.m.)

• Late wrap premium (especially after 10:00 p.m.)

• “Turnaround” concerns (insufficient rest time between days)

• Safety-related travel arrangements (late-night transport)

6. Client-Specific NDAs or Exclusivity Clauses

If a booking requires an NDA or exclusivity provisions beyond typical standards, additional compensation may apply.

Common cost drivers:

• Category exclusivity (example: telecom, auto, beauty, fitness)

• Long exclusivity windows (example: 6–24 months)

• Broad territory exclusivity (national or worldwide)

• Restrictions that block talent from other income opportunities

Common practice: Exclusivity should always be paid for, clearly defined, time-limited, and stated in writing.

7. Hair/Makeup Prep (If Required Outside Paid Booking Time)

If hair and makeup is required before the paid session begins, the prep time must be compensated.

Common structures:

• Prep time billed hourly (often consistent with fitting rates or day-rate breakdowns)

• Fixed prep fee when call time is significantly earlier due to styling requirements

• Additional fees if the client requires the talent to arrive “camera-ready” with professional styling not provided by production

8. Weather Holds, Weather Delays, or Reshoots

Weather holds or reshoots can create real availability blocks and travel costs.

Common fees include:

• Hold fee (when talent must remain available and cannot accept other work)

• Weather kill fee (if production cancels on short notice)

• Reshoot fee (new session fee + additional usage if applicable)

• Additional travel reimbursement (if travel is repeated)

Standard requirement: Weather holds and reschedules must include written kill fee terms and written travel responsibility terms.

9. Callback Auditions (Union or Larger-Scale Projects)

Callbacks may require additional fees depending on format and scope.

Common billing examples:

• In-person callback time (including travel time)

• Studio rental or self-tape facility fees if used

• Coaching requests for higher-level callbacks

(If you want, we can define a standard callback fee schedule for your agency.)

10. Specialized Skills, Gear, Wardrobe, or Props

When talent must provide specialized skills or bring items required for the role, additional fees may apply.

Examples:

• Sports performance, stunts, choreography, advanced fitness work

• Musical performance or technical skills

• Providing wardrobe beyond standard personal closet options

• Bringing personal equipment (example: instruments, specialty gear)

Common cost drivers:

• Risk level and training

• Equipment value and wear

• Extra prep or rehearsal time

11. Use of Talent’s Real Name (Public-Facing Campaigns)

If a client requires use of the talent’s real name for:

• Packaging

• Public credits

• Press

• Social tags

• Brand website bios

This may require a separate approval and may result in an additional fee due to privacy, safety, and reputational considerations.

12. Influencer Campaigns, UGC, and Social Media Usage

If talent is required to create content for their own channels or deliver UGC, additional rates apply.

Common fee categories:

• Content creation fee (time to film, edit, export, and deliver)

• Posting fee (publishing to the talent’s own channel)

• Revision rounds (beyond an agreed number of edits)

• Raw footage handoff fee (if requested)

• Whitelisting/boosting fee (if the client uses the talent’s handle to run paid ads)

• Paid usage fee (if content is used in paid advertising beyond organic posting)

• Extended usage renewals (if usage continues beyond the agreed term)

Important: Any usage beyond original terms must be renegotiated and approved in writing.

13. Use of Our Agency’s Casting Services (Screenwise Casting)

Clients utilizing Stars Talent Studio’s in-house casting division, Screenwise Casting, may incur additional fees for services such as:

• Casting coordination and role breakdown development

• Script distribution and submission management

• Audition collection and organization

• Audition review and shortlist recommendations

• Callback coordination and booking support

• Deal memo administration support

Common pricing models (industry standard):

• Flat casting coordination fee (project-based)

• Hourly casting support rate

• Percentage-based casting fee for larger-scale projects (common in commercial/film casting)

(If you want, I can draft a clean rate card for Screenwise Casting with three tiers: Basic, Standard, Premium.)

All additional considerations should be addressed with your booking agent prior to the start of the job to ensure transparency, accurate quoting, and documented talent consent. No additional fees will be incurred without written confirmation.
