Monthly Fireside Chat with Foundation President Courtney B. Vance 10/26/20

Watch the October 2020 Fireside Chat from our President Courtney B. Vance who gives an update to our COVID-19 and Disaster Relief Fund, introduces some upcoming virtual programming, and shares a little union history about the “monsters” whose work and commitment helped pave the way for the betterment of our community.

COVID-19 and Disaster Relief Fund Update: Since March, we’ve distributed over $5.9 million in emergency aid to more than 6,360 SAG-AFTRA artists in need. Applications are taking about one week to process. If you need help, please apply. (https://sagaftra.foundation/assistance/disasterrelief/)

If you’re in a position to donate, please consider doing so as our Fund continues to give aid to our community. (https://www.sagaftra.foundation/donate)

Get Out The Vote: The Foundation will not be offering programming on election day as we want to encourage artists to vote, to volunteer, and/or to be active at the polls.

Computer Lab: The Foundation continues to offer remote Computer Lab classes, which teach critical skills to help empower artists and advance their careers. (https://www.sagaftra.foundation/computerlab)

Voiceover Labs: The Foundation also continues to host bi-weekly virtual Voiceover Lab orientations for SAG-AFTRA performers. Over the coming weeks there are a variety of learning opportunities available, like voicing promos and commercials, narrating audio books, character development for animation and video games and more.

On-Camera Lab: A reminder — our virtual On-Camera Lab is up and running for you, our artists. If you need help recording your self-tape auditions, or have questions about your home set-up, we hope you’ll take advantage to sharpen your skills and add to your professional toolbox.

Remember to stay safe and connected.
