Show Notes

Tim Friedlander talks to Julie about an effort by a new group, the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA) to acquire health insurance coverage for voice-over talents (YOU!).  This would be a potential option for non-union and union talents alike.   But NAVA NEEDS  YOU to fill out a very short form expressing interest in health insurance for voice actors so they can get proposals from health insurance companies!  There is NO commitment involved; you're simply expressing interest.  Please do that at www.NAVAvoices.org NOW! NAVA's closing date for submitting the health insurance census is the end of August (less than two weeks away) and they still need 100 to 150 names added to the census (they currently have approximately 900 names. Here's the catch: if you DON'T complete the census form, you will not be eligible for coverage should an insurance program be instituted this year; you'll have to wait until open enrollment for 2024. It's only expressing interest, so do it now! (The census form takes about two minutes to complete.)
