For a major motion picture, lead singers can make anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 or more. The lead singer of a blockbuster film can earn millions of dollars.
In addition to their base salary, lead singers may also receive royalties from the sale of their music and other merchandising.
Here is a breakdown of some of the factors that can affect a lead singer's salary:
* The type of production: Lead singers in major motion pictures typically earn more than those in independent films or television shows.
* The budget: The larger the budget of the production, the higher the lead singer's salary will be.
* The actor's experience: Lead singers with more experience typically earn more than those who are just starting out.
* The actor's popularity: Lead singers who are popular with audiences can command higher salaries.
SAG also has a number of rules that protect the rights of lead singers. For example, lead singers are entitled to a certain amount of rest between shooting days, and they are also entitled to overtime pay if they work more than 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week.
