Apparently you are too impatient to wait for an answer. This is a copy of my response to your post on another forum:

I am of the volition that you charge what you charge.

Price is not the reason someone should hire you. If you are thinking price is the only reason you get work from clients, then you are using the wrong sites to find work.

Yes, there is competition and some clients hire based upon price alone. If these are the type of clients you desire, then audition for them, if not, audition only for the clients who are willing to pay the freight.

Added for clarity: The work I receive from the sites mentioned either accept AFTRA for broadcast projects or I do not work do the project. Your client(s) has/have the right to contact the union as a non-signator and pay the fees required. Thus, even though the work is non-union, it is done through the union and you will not be penalized.
