Following the successful release of the SAG-AFTRA podcast in February, SAG-AFTRA has released a Spanish-language podcast catering to Spanish-speaking performers around the world. Hosted by voiceover actor Sylvia Villagran and actor and influencer Ana Carolina Grajales, the new show isn’t just a translation of the English version; it’s crafted specifically for Spanish-speaking performers, including those who are members of Latin American sister unions, since they often work under SAG-AFTRA contracts or for producers in the United States or in their home countries.
Like its English counterpart, the hosts interview industry movers and shakers and go in-depth on the issues that matter most to listeners.
“The ability to be of service and interview guests that inspire, inform and prepare our Spanish-speaking union members is truly exciting,” said Villagran. “I am honored to be a part of SAG-AFTRA’s groundbreaking commitment to the Latino performer.”
“The SAG-AFTRA podcast in Spanish is an amazing learning experience that is allowing me to learn and share every little bit of it with other artists,” said Grajales. “Meeting individuals so passionate about what they do has inspired me to keep fighting for what I love to do, no matter what. I must say that being able to work with such a dedicated and loving team makes this project an unforgettable experience.”
The podcast launched June 18, with the first episode focusing on the negotiation of the historic first contract with Telemundo. Other topics have included sexual harassment, how to launch and monetize a music career, what producers are looking for in Spanish speaking actors and more. The first season of six episodes is out now and may be found on your podcast platform of choice, including Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Cast and TuneIn as well as at sagaftra.org/podcastespanol.
