Special Events at the Michigan Local

Members Shane Carson and Amy Lange at the Broadcast Holiday Party on Dec. 17

Members enjoyed two very special events over the past few months.

On Oct. 17, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation paid a visit to Detroit, and members experienced some of the best workshops ever. Two very beneficial Casting Access workshops were offered with Chicago’s Claire Simon and New York’s Scott Wojcik. There were also two stunning workshops conducted by Paul Liberti, who also traveled in from New York. Members could choose one or both of his voiceover training workshops on audiobooks and animation. All in all, members proclaimed that when it came to workshops in Michigan, these were “the best ever!”

Michigan broadcast members celebrated the December holidays with a party on Dec. 17 at the Bastone Restaurant and Brewery in Royal Oak. While gathering in a room all to themselves, attendees partook in delicious appetizers, tasted unique beers and toasted to each other’s joy of the holiday and upcoming New Year. The gala was enjoyed by all.
