SAG FOUNDATION OFFERS GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE YOUR CAREER!

So many union members are still not taking advantage of the great (and absolutely free!) opportunities being offered by the SAG Foundation.

Acting is a craft that requires constant practice. The minute you think you know it all is the minute your career starts evaporating! Taking workshops and attending seminars should be a regular part of your strategy to becoming a success.

The Foundation’s NY Casting Access Project (NYCAP) offers cold-reading workshops conducted by well-known casting directors. The sessions are intimate – limited to no more than 22 actors per session – and you get to ask questions about the casting process as well as read with/for the casting director in attendance.

To participate you must first complete an orientation session that is conducted online at our website and by mail. To receive more information simply add your email address to the Foundation’s NEWSLETTER at the link provided below. We will notify you when the NYCAP registration period begins on January 26th. It’s that simple!
