The SAG Hollywood Conservatory offers an opportunity for SAG members to hone and develop their craft through classes, workshops, lectures and symposia in a supportive and nurturing environment. Participation in the Conservatory is limited to SAG members in good standing. A small administrative fee is required for membership.

Workshops are offered from October through May and include on-camera commercial and theatrical techniques, commercial and theatrical cold-reading techniques, voice-overs, improvisation and “meet the Casting Director” seminars

The Hollywood Conservatory is held on the campus of the American Film Institute (AFI). SAG’s agreement with the AFI requires the Institute’s first year students’ films to cast exclusively from the rosters of the SAG conservatory membership. This provides opportunities for the SAG members to gain vital on-camera experience, as well as opportunities to work with young directors, producers and writers as they develop their craft.

The Screen Actors Guild Film Society is a nonprofit organization created to allow actors to observe other actors’ performances in order to improve their own skills, and to raise awareness of current productions.
