FAQs

The Actors’ Society (TAS) previously known as Actors Guild of Singapore (AGS), was founded in 2014 as a forum for actors in Singapore to gather, discuss and work together in order to elevate the professional practice standards of the local entertainment industry. Even with stringent screening processes, AGS quickly grew to 380 members and pending 2000+ more.

With growing demand for more to be done, AGS founding members decided to restructure and rebrand as The Actors’ Society. Working closely with NTUC, TAS has recently officiated with the Registries of Societies. 

The main committee of TAS strongly believes in its mission – for the advancement of actors. TAS aims to do more for the local entertainment scene, through communication with actors and industry players, advocating best practices, organising masterclasses, getting actors insured and more.

TAS seeks to empower actors and advance the acting profession in Singapore to an internationally competent level, by raising the standard of industry practice to more closely resemble the practices of established arts and entertainment industries around the world.

The Ordinary Membership is open to all individuals who are engaged in the acting profession in Singapore. The requirements are as follows:
