Hi there.
Before Covid, a surprising amount of my auditions were done at local recording studios in Manhattan.
Once Covid hit, I was still receiving my MP3 auditions, but was no longer getting any in-person ones and making ends meet got very difficult.
I would now like to apply for unemployment but I am unsure how to do this as as freelance voice actor. My agent informed me that they are not my employer and
I am not legally entitled to their federal EIN number.
Would I apply using my social security number as an independent contractor? What sort of information would I need to provide?
When they ask for a reason - will the above reason about losing half of my auditions due to covid be sufficient, do you think?
I was just hoping someone here may have some advice for me in this regard. Thank you!
