But how do you even get an audition for a SAG project if most SAG projects require people to be in the Union already? My agent won't even submit me for SAG stuff because I am not SAG. Any tips? thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome!

[@richardfamousactor2261]

I thought you were a must joint after your second job . After the third then you have to join . Did this change. ? I was always told sag/ aftra E was a good place to be . But it seems nobody is SAG/AFTRA E after thirty days you become must join.

[@wendyalane1]

My suggestion is to call the SAG-AFTRA office and ask your questions directly!

[@ArshiaGuptaMusic]

Hi Wendy! Can you elaborate more on how the Hollywood Winner’s Circle works? What is consisted within that one year of training after the 6 hour course work is completed? And are the Thursdays and Fridays you provide training, are those set days / can those be made up if one is not able to attend? Thank you for everything you do♥️

Until you've studied with a legit coach for a few years and started to book principal roles in non union gigs don't bother just yet. If you live in a small town or right-to-work state, then don't bother. If you start booking paid acting gigs, then you may start to consider joining. If you want to do this for a living and not as a hobby, then you may consider joining. If you plan on moving to LA or NY then you may consider it. Realize it costs close to 4k to join then dues every 6 months whether you work or not. All of this info is something any legit acting coach should be able to convey to you.

[@lollipopcorndog]

It’s best to join when you’re ready. It’s not something you randomly jump into (especially when you have zero experience)

[@jbilotta]

Did the rules change because I thought you had to work three days union or have 3 Taft Hartleys to join. I’ve been eligible since 1998. When you’re saying you only need to book one union job that’s not the way I understood it back in 1998. Edit: One day is SAG eligible for principal meaning you have lines. I think that’s a point that definitely needs to be clarified because you could have no lines and get three Taft Hartleys like I did back in 1998 and be SAG eligible.

[@wendyalane1]

Yes! So many things have changed over the decades!

[@SeraDoll89]

Taft Hartley

[@robertgold3868]

I have been doing background jobs for a few years, and I have two waivers. I need to get one more waiver to be able to join SAG. What do you suggest to get the third one? Also if I am non-union, is it possible to book a SAG project? I thought you had to be a SAG member to work a SAG job.

$3,000 is a lot for someone starting out. Sounds like gate keeping. People w/ the money or Daddies with it preferred? I support the union but that upfront fee seems elite-ish.
