SAG-AFTRA continues to work with the ad industry to develop innovative solutions. To that end, the union has modernized the Commercials Contract by creating flexible Upfront Packages. These Upfront models come with their own editing rules, which we’ve broken down for you in this video.  You’ll learn about the three main types of edits: permitted, paid and unpermitted.  Additionally, in order to help the industry utilize our members in dynamic advertising spots, we have created a simple and straightforward payment structure for addressable advertising. 

Native American & Indigenous Actors, this panel discusses current industry trends, such as the rise of those telling contemporary stories of their own experiences, making it a point to cast natives in non-native roles, and remaining conscious of creating a diverse community of actors within film.

Take a look at how SAG-AFTRA’s #AdsGoUnion campaign is creating more jobs for our members in the evolving ad industry.

SAG-AFTRA is a strong believer in the fair treatment and compensation of actors in the workplace. Organizing communities has played a huge part in making sure actors are receiving these basic rights, like being paid their fair share on a set. Organizing within acting helps bring actors together, sharing similar values and experiences, and communicating with one another to successfully implement change. These actors work hard and we stand by all SAG-AFTRA members to keep doing what they love each day.

Women in Interactive & Voiceover, this panel discusses being noticed and how to get an agent as an interactive voiceover actor. These women cover how they got their start in the industry and signed their first agent. From being noticed on a game show, voiceover school, or at a Scientology panel, these women have made a name for themselves as notable voiceover actors.

It’s important that actors are treated fairly and appreciated. SAG-AFTRA stands with actors such as Mandy Moore, Rachel Brosnahan and more, to create visibility and give gratitude to background actors. The hard work and dedication background actors provide doesn’t go unnoticed.
