POLICIES
Please Note:
All information is current as of when the Casting Director is booked for the workshop. We are not responsible for casting directors changing offices/projects! All of our guests are scheduled in advance. If there are changes to their schedules or the shows they work on, we cannot be held responsible- this is truly part of the business. We will try to get you as much information as quickly as we can if there are any changes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
Visa, MC, Discover and AMEX are accepted via PayPal, our payment processor.
There is a $25.00 fee for bounced checks that must be paid before attending another workshop.
Qualifications: An audition is required for anyone wishing to join TAG Studio Workshops. Call 818-3002885 or email tagstudioworkshops@yahoo.com for information and to schedule an audition. For those not accepted, there is a 90-day waiting period before another audition can be scheduled. For those accepted, there is a 60-day trial basis following acceptance For more information and to set up an audition time please see JOIN US.
RESERVATIONS: Please go to workshop events and register on line or email to book workshops. The Actors Group does not call you to confirm your reservation; please do not request that we do. Consider yourself confirmed. Always check your voicemail and email for notification of being put on standby if workshop is full, or for unforeseen workshop cancellations.
Cancellation Policy: Must be made a full 24 hours prior to the workshop for credit or refund. The time stamp on emails and voicemails will determine the exact time of the cancellation. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR ANY WORKSHOP NOT CANCELLED IN TIME. No exceptions (INCLUDING ILLNESS, TRAFFIC, AUDITIONS, ON-SET).
Required Ettiquette : (1) Everyone is to be present during the cold reading part of each workshop. You are responsible to be a good audience when you are not reading. (2) Take a seat throughout the workshop. (3) DO NOT rehearse while other actors are reading. Give your attention to all the readings. This is a very valuable process that workshops provide. There is specific time set aside for practicing any sides that are given for cold reading. (4) When actors are paired to read, each actor must give the actor s/he is reading with the courtesy of reading the scene together at least once. (5) DO NOT shuffle the pages of sides during the workshop. This is rude and distracting. (5) Connect with your scene partner to showcase your skills. Remember that who you're partnered with makes your work better and it is your responsibility to contribute to theirs the best you can too
Pictures & Resumes: Actors are responsible for bringing a current photo and resume per guest with them to each workshop. Please arrive early at least 15 minutes prior to start of worksop to get your picture(s) in before the guest(s) arrive(s). Guests may request photos and resumes in advance, so please leave 5 extra photos with us in your file and keep them current with current resumes. Guests need your photo and resume to determine the best material to assign the actors.
Pricing : We hope that packages and reasonable pricing make it so every actor can be at TAG Studio Workshops more often! Here at TAG, we have tried to make the most simplest pricing structure for our Actors. We have only 2 prices..... single workshops for $30.00 and 4-workshop package for $100.00 saves over $5 per workshop. Package expires on the year anniversary of the date of purchase.
» Packages cannot be transferred to another actor.
» Every member gets chances at random specials distributed by email only.
» Refer a friend and get a free workshop when they book their first workshop.
For Agent Night and CD Talent Showcase - we guarantee a minimum of 3 guests attending; we often will have 4 - 6 attending.
TAG Studio reserves the right to refuse service and/or terminate membership to any person who disrupts workshops or mistreats guest, fellow actors & staff.
Wait List Policy: when a class is sold out, actors who RSVP online are put on the wait list for that class instead of on the roster. As spaces become available, paid wait listed actors will automatically be put into the class in the order in which they are wait listed. Actors are notified via email up to one hour before scheduled class time, and will be charged the full workshop fee once they are bumped in. Members are urged to check their email the day of the class to see if they have been automatically bumped in. Actors are urged to remove themselves from the wait list in accordance with the cancellation policy if they cannot attend, to prevent being inadvertently charged for a class for which they are no longer available.
Standby Policy: the standby list is different from the wait list. Standbys can arrive in person up to one hour before class and place themselves (and only themselves) on the standby list. Five minutes before class, in the event of no-shows, standbys paying cash at the door are accepted to fill the vacant spots in the order in which they arrived. A wait listed actor who is not accepted into the class online may still try to come to the class in person as a standby by signing up on the standby list. Having previously been on the wait list does not take precedence over the standby list - it is first-come- first-served at the door.
