SAG-AFTRA National Native Americans Committee in partnership with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation presents a two-part informative, interactive panel discussion and workshop on the acting industry taught by casting directors, professional actors and other industry experts.

The panel discussion with industry experts will give an overview of auditioning, headshots, resumes, audition tapes, social media resources for actors and more.
