Just a Few Days Left to Register!

November 5, 2019

Hi Actors! There are just a few days left to register for the November Virtual Showcase. Think the holiday season is a bad time to try to get an agent? Think again! As the entertainment industry slows down agents actually have a little more time to comb through submissions, which allows them to sign actors just in time for pilot season. The November and December Virtual Showcases are perfect opportunities to let agents know who you are! Click here to register.

Chicago Theatre Access Auditions

October 11, 2019

Attention non-union actors! Applications are open for the Chicago Theatre Access Auditions. What is this, you ask? It’s a chance to be seen by Chicago’s Equity theatres. If you’ve ever tried to attend an Equity audition as a non-union actor, you know how tough it is. You wait around all day hoping to be seen, only to be told that they won’t have time for you after all. “But feel free to leave your headshot and resume,” they always say.

Who has the time for that? Thus, the Chicago Theatre Access Auditions were born. If selected, you will have 90 seconds to perform a monologue for several of Chicago’s Equity and Non-Equity theatres. And the best part? It’s absolutely free. There is no application fee or cost to participate. So what are you waiting for? Applications close THIS Sunday, October 13th. Get on it!

Sold Out

October 8, 2019

The October Virtual Showcase is now sold out. Thank you to everyone who signed up! This month’s recording will take place on the 23rd, with a November date TBA. Although the industry slows down around the holidays, it’s actually a great time to record a showcase. Agents have a bit more time to view the audition footage. So if you didn’t get a spot this month, no worries! We have a growing wait list for the next round of registration. Sign up now at chicagovirtualshowcase@gmail.com.

     I want to give a quick shoutout to Abby Merrill, who recently made her national television debut on "Chicago Med" - way to go, Abby! So proud of you. This is only the beginning.

NLCS Special

October 13, 2016

     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!

Showcases and Sessions

September 19, 2016

     There have been some fun sessions in the studio these past few days, and I've met lots of new actors! I'm about to meet more with the events that are coming up: this weekend is the September Teen Coaching and Virtual Showcase at The Second City - an excellent way to be seen by more than 200 industry professionals. The following week is the Virtual Showcase for adults (no coaching class with this one, but you can book a private coaching if desired). If you don't know what the Virtual Showcase is, check out Matt Miller's website HERE.

"I want to register for your Second City class, but registration is closed! Noooooo!"

     Don't worry - if you are interested in signing up for the Coaching and Virtual Showcase this month, we are holding a couple of spots. Sign up HERE.

     And remember: I'm offering a discount for the month of September on tapings and coachings. You just have to mention the code phrase, which you can find HERE.
