Hollywood Conservatory
Launched more than 35 years ago, the Screen Actors Guild Hollywood Conservatory offers a low-cost opportunity for members to hone and develop their craft through classes, workshops, lectures and symposia — all on the campus of AFI.
The Benefits: The workshops teach SAG actors how to attain essential tools for their careers in a supportive, nurturing environment. In addition, Conservatory members are eligible to be cast in AFI student films, allowing you to gain vital on-camera experience.
The Workshops: Structured 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 "Actors Evenings" with opportunities to meet casting directors, agents and other industry professionals in a seminar format.
Participation in the Conservatory is limited to Screen Actors Guild members in good standing. A small administrative fee of only $25 is required for membership.
