AIP016 | Nannying, Sketching, and Singing Backup to Fund My Acting and Music Careers (plus Live Music!) - with Angie Atkinson

The Acting Income Podcast with Ben Hauck

Actor and singer Angie Atkinson talks with Ben Hauck about how she supports her dual careers in acting and singing with income from nannying, sketching, and singing backup. In the interview, Angie describes her jobs, their responsibilities, and the kinds of money they provide. For nannying, she details how she balances nannying with her life and other work, and she also details how she negotiated a better wage for herself. For sketching, Angie explains how she accidentally fell into it as an income source after posting her drawings on social media. She also reveals the money her work has commanded. For singing backup, she shares how she found the opportunity, how her ego shifts between singing lead in her band and singing backup in another band, and how she prices her backup singing. Angie follows each reply with live acoustic renditions of her songs "Ukulele Love Song" and "This Rollin' Wave," as well as the debut of her (as of this interview, unfinished) song "Restless." Ben concludes with information on how to get MP3s of the songs from the podcast plus an MP3 of the first live band performance of "Restless."
