SYNOPSIS

After submitting your Voiceover Lab Application (online), the Voiceover Lab Orientation (VOLO) is the final step towards your VO Lab eligibility. During the 2-hour VOLO we will discuss Lab policies, aspects of sound, audio software, file formats, home recording studios, audio hardware and more. There will also be a quick recording and editing demonstration with a popular audio recording application.

REQUIREMENTS

Participation in VO Lab programs is open to union members in good standing, regardless of your geographical location or a program's city of origin.

Join Details are generally emailed to participants 1-2 hours before the start time of the program.

Attendees must be present for the entire program in order to receive VO Lab eligibility. If you have a schedule conflict, please attend orientation at another time.

Program Rules

Please note: Due to Covid-19 protocols, all VO Lab programs are now online, until further notice. If there are any references to our physical facilities/studios/venues, that information typically pertains to our in-person programming.

Late arrivals will not be admitted.

Always have your valid/paid up SAG-AFTRA, or AEA membership card (or virtual membership card; download the SAG-AFTRA app to activate your virtual membership card) at check-in. Your current proof-of-payment receipt is also acceptable, as is proof of a payment deferment arrangement. No admittance will be granted without your current membership card, current virtual membership card, payment receipt or proof of payment deferment.

Guests are not allowed at this program unless stated in the program description.

RSVP = You are registered to attend, but seats are NOT guaranteed. Programs are sometimes overbooked to ensure optimal attendance..

If you RSVP for this offering and later cannot attend, please remove your name from the RSVP list by 11:59 PM prior to the day of the program. Failure to fulfill a RSVP reservation or arrival after check-in is completed will be recorded as a no-show. For the VO Lab program, two (2) no-shows within 60 days and you will not be able to attend VO Lab classes or reserve studio sessions for 90 days We refer to this as the 2/60/90 rule.

Waitlist = You are not registered to attend the program, but you are added to the Waitlist. If we receive a cancellation and/or you are moved to the RSVP list, you will be notified (typically the day before the program) with enough time to cancel, if you cannot attend. The VO Lab sometimes requires an email response to confirm if the member will be attending or will not be attending. If you have been moved to the RSVP list you can cancel by 11:59 PM the day before a scheduled program an d avoid being recorded as a no-show, if you do not attend.

You may also check your status at any time from your user account on our website. By signing up for the Waitlist you are telling us that you want to attend the program, so if that changes please cancel your Waitlist reservation. You WILL NOT be recorded as a no-show if you are on the Waitlist and do not attend or if you show up and do not get in.

Walk Ins = Not applicable during Covid-19 online programming. Walk Ins are welcome (unless otherwise stated in the Program Description), but are not guaranteed a seat. If a seat is still available after the RSVP list and waiting list are admitted then you will be admitted. If no seat is available, Walk Ins will be denied entry. Please exercise courtesy to our staff if this scenario occurs.

When you register for a program you are expected to stay for the entirety of the offering.
