Cast Your Vote and Get a Discount!

March 9, 2020

Illinois - next Tuesday, March 17, we have a big choice to make. Actually, several big choices. In addition to the presidential nominee there are numerous judges to vote on as well as water reclamation district candidates, just to name a couple of big categories.

I just finished filling out my mail-in ballot. I prefer the mail-in ballot because I can see all the candidates in front of me at once, do my research and vote in the quiet and comfort of my home. It also reduces the likelihood of me making a mistake on my ballot. And yes, you can track your ballot to make sure it is received.

Injusticewatch.org is an EXCELLENT resource to look up the judges - I did not always agree with the judge marked as the "Democratic Pick" and in fact some of the "picks" actually have negative ratings. Do your research.

News.wttw.com/elections/voters-guide/2020 is another great resource and has info on the candidates running for the water reclamation district. If you have any questions about using these resources, ask me! And if you'd like to know why I've been feeling the BERN for the last several years, I'll be happy to tell you.

This month I’m offering a discount to everyone who votes in the primary election. Just show your “I voted” sticker or wristband and receive $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour.

Discount Extended Through October 15!

October 1, 2019

Last month I ran a discount for $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour session. It was supposed to run through the month of September, but I had to go out of town the last few days of the month. So I’m extending it! Now through October 15th, mention this post to receive the offer, good on a taping or coaching.

There are still spots left for the October Virtual Showcase. Sign up now at chicagovirtualshowcase@gmail.com. The recording date for this month’s showcase is October 23.

Lastly, happy October everyone! It is quite possibly my favorite month of the year. The weather is a little cooler, but not so cold we have to bust out the North Face jackets, and apple and pumpkin scents fill the air. How are you spending these days of Fall? Carving pumpkins? Visiting haunted houses? Brushing up on your acting skills (obviously)? Whatever you are doing, here’s wishing you a delightful season filled with apple cider and lots of auditions. :)

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!

(Almost) Fall Savings!

September 12, 2019

It’s almost Fall - my favorite time of year - so why not celebrate with some self-tape discounts? For the month of September, I’m offering $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour session. Just mention this post when you schedule your appointment.

In other news, our next Virtual Showcase records on Friday, September 20. If you’d like to get on our contact list or want to learn more, just click on our Virtual Showcase tab in the navigation bar.

Here’s to slightly cooler weather headed our way :)

It's Been a While...

March 18, 2019

Audition season has been a fierce whirlwind these last few weeks, so I haven’t posted in a while. Now seems like the perfect time to offer a discount for Spring! I figure with so many requests for self-tapes, everyone could use a little financial relief right about now, not to mention the tax deadline is looming over all of us.

For the rest of March, take $10 off your session, regardless of how long of a session you book (yes, you can take $10 off a half hour session). Just be sure to mention this post when you schedule with me!

See you in the studio!

It's Summer...Supposedly

June 22, 2018

     Despite the June gloom happening outside, summer has officially begun. What are you doing to celebrate? Seeing a show? Acting in a show? Taking a class? Auditioning tends to slow down around this time of year, allowing for the opportunity to brush up on your skills.

     Are you interested in a coaching? Maybe you want to add another monologue to your repertoire, but you'd like some direction (practicing in front of a mirror is helpful, but it's always good to have an outside eye). For the rest of June and July, I'm offering $10 off 1-hour coachings*. Just mention this post when you book your appointment.

*This discount does not apply to self-tapes, as there is extra time involved in editing and compressing links.

Hello Again!

May 21, 2018

     It's been a while! Now that pilot season is winding down, I decided it's time for a NEW DISCOUNT. Through June, just mention SPRINGSAVE to receive 10% off your next taping.

     Editing is now complete on the May Virtual Showcase. Don't know what I'm talking about? Learn about the Virtual Showcase here.

     Have a success story? Let's hear about it! Send me an email (found on the Contact page) to share your good news.

     That's it for now. Happy auditioning!

It's Spring! It's Voting Day! It's Time for a Discount!

March 20, 2018

     It's Voting Day here in Illinois - get after it! As an added incentive, I'm offering $5 off your next taping. All you need to do is show me your voting wristband, sticker, or the selfie I KNOW you took, and I'll deduct $5 from your session fee. There is no expiration date for this offer, but you can only use it once. Happy Spring, and Happy Voting!

Supporting Everytown for Gun Safety

March 3, 2018

     With all that is happening in the world right now, particularly in our own country, it can seem overwhelming to figure out how we as individuals can make a difference and have our voices heard. Well, Lauren Welke, a Casting Director here in Chicago, is looking to change that. She has organized a social media pep rally, taking place on March 23. See her post below. The idea is you purchase a shirt from the site (100% of the proceeds will go to Everytown for Gun Safety), then wear it on March 23 and post pictures of yourself with it, using the the hashtags #EndGunViolence, #WhiteoutGunViolence, #EnoughIsEnough, #NotOneMore.

     I'm going to go one step further: if you participate, I'll give you $20 (the cost of the shirt) off one taping. You have nothing to lose, and you would be helping a great cause. Please consider participating, or at least sharing Lauren's post to help spread the word. There are 5 days left to order to guarantee delivery. Thank you!

Refer-A-Friend and $ave

February 2, 2018

     How is it February already?! Pilot season is in full swing and auditions are rolling in. Stay on top of your game. If you need a self-tape, let me know as soon as possible, as availability is booking up fast. 

     For the month of February, you can help out your actor friends with the Refer-A-Friend incentive. If you refer someone to me and they do a taping, they'll get $5 off the session, and you'll receive $5 off your next taping. Just make sure your friend mentions you referred them, and reference this deal!
