You’ve Joined SAG-AFTRA, Now What? Finding Representation

You’ve joined SAG-AFTRA, now what? That’s a question we’ll help answer as we look at one of the most important factors in determining an actor’s success – finding proper representation, someone that can help guide their careers and assist them in making wise business decisions.

What to Know: Royalties, Rights & Recording Artists

Getting signed is only the first step. How can artists protect themselves and what tools are there to help ensure a long-term career? Join SAG-AFTRA and top recording artists to discuss how the union can help you and get advice from those who have successfully navigated their careers and became industry icons. From royalties to retirement, this panel is a must-see for recording artists at all levels.

How SAG-AFTRA Helps to Create Music Legislation That Helps You

Originally presented to students and alumni at Berklee College of Music, SAG-AFTRA Vice President, Recording Artists/Singers and Berklee Professor Janice Pendarvis and SAG-AFTRA General Counsel Jeffrey Bennett explain the history of sound recording copyrights, performance rights, and the music legislation SAG-AFTRA has championed, as well as how that legislation affects singers, recording artists and the music community at large.

Know The Rules Before You Break Them: Techniques For Any Vocal Performance

Would you like to know how to take control of your voice so that you can give your best performance?

 

Join us on Tuesday, July 20 as we’re joined by one of L.A.’s finest vocal coaches who will walk you through some helpful exercises and warm ups to protect and strengthen your voice. Katie offers extraordinary vocal insight and has worked with a star-studded clientele and uses a technique that’s been studied by over 200 Grammy winners.

Music & Social Change

Music has historically been a vehicle of expression for artists and fans to express rage against the world’s injustices, allowing the oppressed to be heard on a global scale. 

 

Join the SAG-AFTRA President's Task Force on Education, Outreach & Engagement in partnership with the Recording Academy as we recognize Black Music Month. We'll spotlight the ways in which performers use their voices and their platforms for activism, bringing attention to injustices and social causes that matter with the hope of establishing freedom for all. 

A Safe Place to Report Sexual Harassment

Join us for an introduction of the union's new sexual harassment reporting tool, SAG-AFTRA Safe Place. 

This first-of-a-kind app gives users a safe, discreet and easier way to report sexual harassment, and can be used by anyone who is a SAG-AFTRA member or who worked under a SAG-AFTRA contract. It's the latest tool in the union's industry-leading fight against sexual harassment and it was developed to meet the varying needs of those who experience or witness sexual harassment.
