Chicago Self-Taped Auditions
Look at all this talent here in Chicago! Seriously, the actors here are killin' the game. Keep it up, Chicago!
On another note, I just want to give a huge shoutout to all the actors who are submitting for the CBS Drama Diversity Casting Initiative. Seriously, why WOULDN'T you submit? It's a great opportunity. Actors, you have 1 day left to get your tapes in! Don't wait, do it!
The Cubs are heading to the World Series!!!
In celebration of this momentous occasion, I am offering a World Series Special. It's similar to my NLCS Special, but better! If the Cubs win the World Series, I will randomly select the name of one lucky actor to receive a FREE audition taping or coaching. Completely FREE. To enter, simply 'Like' the Facebook Page AND 'Like' this post. You have to do both to be entered, and you must hit the Likes before the start of Game 1 on Tuesday at 7:08 PM (CDT).
What are you waiting for?
Thank you to everyone who entered my NLCS contest. We have a winner! Congratulations to:
Jules Reid is our winner! She will receive 50% off an upcoming audition taping or coaching session (up to one hour). Check back tomorrow for info on my World Series Special!
Jules might have won today, but the Chicago Cubs won last night. So really, aren't we all winners??!!
What a joy to have Aida Delaz and Jennifer Dymit back in the studio to record their self-taped auditions. Nice job, ladies!
This was so fun! I loved having Rodrigo in the studio today to tape his musical audition for a new Broadway show. Break legs, Rodrigo! Always great to see you.
As the temperature is cooling down, Chicago baseball is heating up! Our boys in blue are headed to the NLCS, and if they win, you could too! This month I'm offering an NLCS special: if the Chicago Cubs win the NLCS, I'll randomly select one actor to receive 50% off an upcoming audition taping or coaching (up to one hour). That's up to $30 off! To enter, just "Like" the Chicago Self-Taped Auditions' Facebook Page (if you haven't already), and "Like" this Facebook post (see below). It's that easy! BUT: you have to hit the "Likes" before the start of Game 1 on Saturday, October 15 at 7:08 PM (CDT).
If I'm giving 50% off for clinching the NLCS, just think what I'll give if they go all the way. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. One game at a time. Deep breaths. Go Cubs!
It's always great to have Roland back in the studio for a self-tape. You can watch him on "Chicago Med" as Noah Sexton. Thanks for coming in again, Roland!
It finally feels like Fall! It's my favorite time of year, and this month I'm offering a special discount: $5 off all tapings with the code FEELS LIKE FALL. Just mention the code in your email when you schedule an appointment.
As of right now, there are no showcases scheduled for October. See below for the previous post regarding September showcases.
The September Virtual Showcases have been posted! This includes both the adult showcase and the teen showcase (Second City edition).
The Virtual Showcase was created by Matt Miller to provide actors a cost-effective way to be seen by industry professionals. Actors record a scene or monologue along with commercial copy and a brief interview, and the footage is posted online with their headshot and resume. The showcase is then emailed to more than 200 industry contacts in Chicago.
Not necessarily! Since the showcase is online and accessed via a link, that link can be sent to contacts outside of the Chicago area. Trying to land an agent in New York? You can send them the link to your footage. All they have to do is click on the link in their email. It's that simple.
See the box below that reads MATT MILLER'S VIRTUAL SHOWCASE? Click that.
Editing is complete on the September Teen Virtual Showcase: Second City Edition! After I record the adult session tomorrow, we'll have the files uploaded and ready to view in just a few days.
There are only four days left to receive the September discount for a coaching or self-taped audition. If you have a scene or monologue you've been wanting to work on, or would like me to provide copy for you to practice your on-camera technique, now is the time to do it!
