COVID-19 And What That Means For Tapings

March 13, 2020

Well, the inevitable has happened. As a precaution, several studios in Chicago are shutting down for the next several days which means tapings will be extremely limited. If you do have a self-tape request, feel free to reach out to me. However, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to get you scheduled.

More availability should open up after next week, but right now studios are paying attention to what is being recommended and proceeding accordingly.

Because of this lack of availability, I’m extending my “Voter Discount” through the month of April. Just show me a picture of your “I Voted” sticker or wristband to receive $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Stay safe and stay well everyone!

Pilot Season 2020

February 11, 2020

It’s mid-February, which means two things: 1. We can officially stop saying “Happy New Year” and 2. Pilot season is among us. Because this is such a busy time in the industry it’s important to promptly book your taping appointments as soon as you get the request from your agent. Studio space is limited and fills up quickly!

If you don’t find yourself getting many auditions this time of year, check out the Chicago Virtual Showcase. It’s a great way to increase your visibility among industry professionals in the city, and several participants have received calls from agents. We love hearing those success stories!

Have a Wonderful Holiday!

November 24, 2019

Have a wonderful holiday week and weekend, everyone! Chicago Self-Taped Auditions is officially on hiatus this week. I’ll be checking emails periodically but I might not be able to respond right away. I’ll see you in December!

Limited Availability and Holiday Schedule

November 19, 2019

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are already upon us (though I still refuse to watch ANY Christmas movies until after Thanksgiving). With the holiday season comes a change in scheduling. Most ongoing projects will soon be on hiatus and the need for self-tapes will quickly drop. If, however, you do happen to get a self-tape request between now and Thanksgiving, please note my availability is extremely limited.

For the remainder of this week I will do my best to get you on the schedule if you need a taping, but I will not be available at all next week, November 25 - December 1.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

The Next Showcase Date Is...

September 27, 2019

If you’ve been keeping up with this news feed, you know that our September Virtual Showcase posted this week. And that means it’s time to start thinking about next month! Our next recording date for the Chicago Virtual Showcase is October 23, 2019.

The Showcase is a great way for Chicago actors to get in front of industry professionals without spending a fortune on headshot/resume mailings. This opportunity is not recommended for beginners - on-camera experience is definitely advised in order to have a successful Showcase.

In other news, I am out of town for the next few days. Tapings are scheduled to resume on Wednesday, October 2. Since I had to leave town before the end of the month, I’m extending the September discount into October. Mention this post to receive $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour long session. This discount is good through October 15th!

I'm Headed Out of Town!

September 26, 2019

Chicago actors: I’ll be leaving town tomorrow (Friday, 9/27) and won’t return for a few days. You should see a notification bar at the top of this website. Currently tapings are scheduled to resume on Wednesday, October 2. My apologies for any inconvenience!

Tapings Closed June 30 - July 4

June 28, 2019

Hi All! Just a heads up, there will be no tapings June 30 through July 4. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Limited Availability

April 17, 2019

Hey Actors! Just so you are in the know, my availability will be extremely limited the next couple of weeks. First up is the Virtual Showcase taking place tomorrow, April 18, which I’ll then be editing throughout the holiday weekend. I’ll be closing on a new home Monday and moving all next week, then have to go out of town for an event. I won’t be available to do many tapings, if any at all, for the next several days, but can refer you to other places if need be. Thanks for understanding!
