Fall Has Arrived

September 26, 2018

It’s finally Fall - my favorite time of year. Time for apple festivals, salted caramel mochas and a wardrobe refresh. It’s also the time of year when shooting schedules for tv and film are in full swing, which means a higher demand for self tapes. From now through Halloween, I’m offering $5 off a half hour session or $10 off an hour session. Just mention this post in your email when you contact me for your appointment.

This week we say farewell to Hamilton’s Jonathan Kirkland, who played George Washington in the Chicago production. You never who is going to stop by the studio!

She Booked It!

     Congratulations are in order for Laurie Carter Rose. We taped her audition Thursday of this past week, and on Friday she found out she got the part! Woot woot!

Have a self-tape success story to share? Be sure to let me know so I can spread the good news!

     It's not a bad day at the office when Throwing Shade host Bryan Safi asks you to help him with an audition. What a delight. It couldn't have been a more pleasant morning. 

Break a Leg at the Callback!

August 28, 2017

     After working on his self-taped audition with me last week, Matthew O. Miller sent an email letting me know he has a callback for the part. So excited for this guy - break a leg!

"Detroit" star Jacob Latimore

August 2, 2017

     Rising star Jacob Latimore stopped by the studio this week to work on an audition. He was up until 3am the night before working on lines, then was on set just a few hours later filming "The Chi," then came straight to Acting Studio Chicago - early, off-book, completely professional. And he nailed it in one take. Now THAT'S how it's done! 

Faces from the Week!

July 20, 2017

     Here are just a few faces from this week. These actors hail from Chicago, LA and even England! What a pleasure to work with such talented folks. Want to know a not-so-secret secret? I kind of love my job. :)

Hamilton Chicago's Eliza Hamilton (Ari Afsar)

July 11, 2017

     It's always a joy having Ari Afsar back in the studio. She came in to work on a scene and some music, which means I got to spend the time listening to her sing. Not a bad day at the office!
