40 SAG-AFTRA | Summer 2022 | sagaftra.org CONFIDENTIALITY P rincipal performers are subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment contract, and performers are bound by such provisions upon receipt of any such material or information in connection with an audition, even if the performer elects not to audition. Also, if a producer wants performers to sign an NDA, the exact language that was negotiated between the union and the Joint Policy Committee and placed on the back of the employment contract should be used. If language deviates from the contractual language, the producers must submit their NDA to the union for review and approval. Approaching auditions can be one of the most bewildering aspects performers face, especially when it comes to self-taping, which saw a huge increase during the COVID-19 lockdown. Many of the safety restrictions put into place during lockdown remain, but others have loosened or changed. That's why members need updated information to ensure a smooth technical performance.

Increasingly, however, performers are often asked for "virtual auditions," which might mean auditioning via a live-remote platform such as Zoom or filming a self-taped audition. For the most part, the rules that apply to in-person auditions and virtual auditions are the same, but what are they, and how do you navigate them, especially self-taping? Read on!
