Access to Casting Directors

Casting Access Project For Local Members

Casting Access Project (CAP) Online is a new program of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation which allows SAG-AFTRA actors from all over the country direct access to casting directors from NYC and LA.

Once the SAG Foundation has verified SAG-AFTRA members’ eligibility, they will be able to RSVP for online instruction by a casting director. Participants’ headshots will be sent to a casting director, who will choose sides for them. The actors will upload their video for the casting director to view and they will receive notes on their performance from the casting director.

CAP Online and all of the programs of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation are offered at no-cost to SAG-AFTRA members. In order to participate in CAP Online, SAG-AFTRA members must log-in to the SAG Foundation website, create a username and password and complete the online orientation at

http://www.sagfoundation.org/userhome/eventdetails/9892.

Please note: The orientation will only be online until March 14, 2013. The next orientation will occur June 1-14, 2013.

SAG Nevada Production Hotline (702) 737-8818

Nevada Film Office Hotline (702) 486-2727

Taking a SAG-AFTRA job when you are not union, or if you do not join, is theft!

"Kaldur"

Currently in post production with Art Lynch as the Kaldur

This blog is not affilated with SAG-AFTRA but applauds the members of both unions for voting to merge into one union. While pro-union, this blog provides information and opportunities for those in all levels of their craft, including the full range of professions now covered by the merged union. Links and lessons scan all the way down, slowly. Full disclaimer and some tips on safe use scan to the bottom.

Auditioning for non-union projects

NOTE: SAG Talent may audition but may not work without a union talent contract. Practice your craft and show producers/directors/young film talent just how talented SAG Actors are. For details contact the Nevada SAG office by clicking here.

Rule One: do not work non-union

We Stand Together: The Screen Actors Guild

Rule One is one of the founding principles and strengths of our union: we stand together as actors and do not work without a Guild contract.

If you are good at what you do, you should value your time and talents. Professionals join the union and the pay and working conditions unions helps guarantee.

Art Lynch.

Life is...Danny Kaye

Weather BC

On Casting Director Workshops

... Most states have laws on the books, including New York, that make it ILLEGAL

for representatives of employers (casting directors) to charge potential employees (actors)

to apply for a job.

Since an actor's performance in front of a casting director is by law (in California) an audition,

charging an actor a fee in a workshop is a violation of the law. I suggest you check with

Consumer Affairs or the State Labor Commission for specific relevant laws in your state.

Do not pay to be seen...auditions are free

The business of the union

SAG-AFTRA National Board Director Art Lynch and SAG-AFTRA Nevada Local President Barbara Grant at the Teamsters Hall during a SAG-AFTRA informational Membership Meeting

The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind."

— Stella Adler

Thank you Amy Aquino for your support in returning Art Lynch to the SAG National Board of Directors

Art Lynch is a friend,

a respected colleague

and fierce representative

for the Nevada Branch

For over 16 years I've known Art Lynch as a tireless and fearless advocate for Nevada, and for actors everywhere.

I worked closely with him on Communications, and as Hollywood liaison to the Regional Branches, and through promising times and challenging times,his spirit and commitment never waivered.

His long history and experience with the two past merger attempts are invaluable, both during the planning of the current merger and once we move forward as one.

Art Lynch is a friend, a respected colleague and fierce representative for the Nevada Branch; he deserves your support.

Amy Aquino

National SAG

Secretary Treasurer

Reference

"I've known Art for ten years or so and have great respect for his knowledge of the industry. His perspectives are always fresh and demonstrate how much he has studied not only the craft of acting and directing, but also the "business" of show. My highest recommendations for Art!"

-Dave Corey
Award winning actor and voice artist

"I've know Art for many years. We serve together on the Board of SAG-AFTRA (formerly SAG). Art is a great guy with much intergrity. He never bows to pressure but stands for what's right. He's dedication to his fellow actors is admirable, and is relentless in his efforts to protect the union and its membership."

-Marc Barron
NYC actor, voice artist

"I have known Art for about 25 years. He is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of show business. He is devoted to his craft and is concerned about the welfare of his fellow artists. I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a Coach, consultant, and for his talent.

Michael Plaisted, President,
Empress Theatre Company, Inc.

“Art Lynch is the kind of leader
all SAG members should be proud
to have in the boardroom, and

it’s a privilege to serve
alongside him. He asks

the tough questions,
and doesn’t act until he

gets the answers.
Nevada SAG members

who want a smart,
dedicated, and proven

leader looking out for
their interests should
give Art their full support.”

Ned Vaughn

Auditions are yours not theirs..

An audition is exactly what you make it. It can either be a wonderful learning experience from which you will gain insights and knowledge. . . or it can be something you dread and that stresses you out completely. It's really up to you. But remember, auditions are an intricate part of the performing world. Don't you agree it would be best to make them your "friend”?

A veteran of Chicago theatre and both film

Bio

Art has a PhD in Education, Masters in Communication, and Bachelors in Speech-Theater-Mass Communication, with an additional two years of post graduate work in theater. He grew up in Chicago and developed an interest in high school in theater and journalism. His high school, Oak Park River Forest, is well known for its active theater arts program, producing internationally known performers. He also worked on the school newspaper. These early interests influenced his college and career choices. While at University of Illinois, Chicago he managed the college radio station and participated in theater. After graduation he worked in radio, doing stints as a reporter, news director and operations manager in several states, winning awards along the way. He also stayed active in theater and film (particularly musical theater). He developed and coordinated the Las Vegas branch of the Screen Actors Conservatory. He has served on SAG National Board of Directors for the past 18 years. He left journalism and broadcasting and worked in advertising and public relations, founding a successful, award- winning boutique agency. He discovered his love for teaching, which allows him to employ both his performance and journalistic aptitudes, and has taught at both public and private colleges. He continues to pursue theater and film as an actor and teacher, and works Sundays at the public radio station, KNPR. He now lives in the small, historic town of Boulder City, Nevada, close to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. He completed his dissertation researching the 31ers Education Program, which keeps alive the history of Boulder City. He also serves on the Dam Short Film Festival Board in Boulder City.

Time to take a stand

In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under fierce attack.

Although Screen Actors Guild is a non-partisan organization, and therefore does not take positions on some of the demands of Save the American Dream, we unequivocally stand together with them, and with all working families, to end the attacks on worker’s rights.

If collective bargaining rights can be stripped away in a strong union state like Wisconsin, it can happen anywhere.

Various anti-labor bills have recently been introduced in dozens of states. It is believed that if this action succeeds in Wisconsin, more and more anti-union efforts may spread across the country and ultimately could affect all labor organizations, including Screen Actors Guild.

All workers have a fundamental right to join unions and to engage in collective bargaining over workplace issues they face.

How to avoid or minimize the potential for scams

Since this blog reproduced notices and does not originate many of the messages, please take precautions on responding of auditioning. Some common sense rules (from Craigslist and other sources). You can sidestep would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:

DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scams.
DO NOT PAY TO AUDITION OR TO BE IN A PRODUCTION - while there are charities and "points" on various entertainment productions, a safe rule is to be very careful with your money and always to due diligence first.
WORK UNDER UNION CONTRACTS- SAG, AFTRA, Equity, AGVA and AGMA contracts protect talent in many ways. Always contact the union office if you have questions about a productions signatory status.
WORK THROUGH A UNION AGENT OR STATE LICENCED TALENT AGENCY- there are protections in place including bonding and background checks Check with the union and the state to confirm status if there is any doubt.
NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
DO NOT RENT HOUSING WITHOUT SEEING THE INTERIOR, OR PURCHASE EXPENSIVE ITEMS SIGHT-UNSEEN -in all likelihood that housing unit is not actually for rent and that cheap item does not exist.
DO NOT SUBMIT TO CREDIT CHECKS OR BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR A JOB OR FOR HOUSING UNTIL YOU HAVE MET THE INTERVIEWER OR LANDLORD/AGENT IN PERSON.
