The SAG-AFTRA Foundation Voiceover Programs offer free access to in-person and virtual booth sessions, classes, workshops and workout groups, for paid-up, full-membership, active status SAG-AFTRA members. Create a profile here to access to our programming.
Our Voiceover Labs in Los Angeles and New York will open soon to provide in-person sessions to SAG-AFTRA members. We will also continue to offer Virtual Booth Sessions and classes to all SAG-AFTRA members nationwide.
To use our Voiceover Labs and access our Voiceover programming, you must first create a Voiceover profile. Once you have created a profile, you must attend one of our monthly Voiceover Program Orientations. After attending the Orientation, you will be able to sign-up for programming and reserve booth sessions virtually and in-person at our Labs in Los Angeles and New York.
All members using our in-person facilities must be COVID-19 vaccinated and boosted and must bring a copy of their vaccination record to enter. Masks are required when inside our facilities, unless you are instructed to remove your mask by a member of staff.
Our state-of-the-art labs in Los Angeles and New York offer members the opportunity to practice copy, try out spots for demo reads and record auditions. Our main booths provide an audio engineer/booth director, while our solo booths are available for members to self-record.
Our Virtual Booth Sessions allow members to work with an audio engineer to record auditions, practice voicing copy, and receive direction remotely.
If you have created a profile and completed an orientation, you can book a booth session in-person in Los Angeles and New York, or virtually.

Our Voiceover Labs and Programs are free for SAG-AFTRA members and made possible through gifts, grants and sponsorships. The Foundation never draws on SAG-AFTRA dues or initiation fees.
The DLF Voiceover Lab is named in memory of legendary voice actor Don LaFontaine and cultivates a thriving community of voice actors who embody his generous spirit of mentorship and giving back. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Don LaFontaine Voiceover Lab is a fitting tribute to this legendary artist and man that many of today’s top voiceover actors considered both their mentor and friend.
