Self-tape auditions have evolved from a mere convenience pre-pandemic, to a standard practice in the past two years. The number of self-tape auditions has risen astronomically, and they often include requests that place an undue burden on our members – multiple locations, unsafe activities, props, styling and the list goes on. 

Join the SAG-AFTRA President's Task Force on Education, Outreach & Engagement and national leadership for a look at how self-tapes are changing the casting process and what SAG-AFTRA is doing to address these challenges.
