The Unions: SAG

SAG

How do you join SAG? You can join as I stated above depending on your standing with AFTRA, or through a Taft Hartley waiver. This is basically a waiver that states that the producing company could use you and only you for the job. SAG can potentially contest this, but it is unlikely. In my case, I did the voice-tag on a small commercial campaign for the UK on radio and TV. Because some of the spots would be on TV the job fell into SAG territory. Now, it's not always the case that just because your commercial/show was aired on TV that it is a SAG job. There are many things that apply, but most of all, there has to be a SAG contract for the job, which you will sign upon completion (more on contracts later)...
