Happy September! Get a Discount!

September 1, 2016

     Fall doesn't officially start until September 22, but this cooler weather and the fact that I can sit in my apartment without sweating has me feeling all...whatever the emoji is with the red 100 underlined twice. 

     To give the humidity a proper sendoff, I'm offering a discount for the entire month of September. Half-hour sessions for tapings and coachings (normally $40) will be offered at $35, and one-hour sessions (normally $60) will be offered at $50. In order to receive the discount, just mention the code phrase: STILL TOO EARLY FOR PUMPKIN SPICE.

Coaching & Virtual Showcase at The Second City: September 24-25 - learn more here

An Audition Taping, and Upcoming Events

August 29, 2016

Had a great audition taping today with the one and only Kirsten Fitzgerald! More tapings and coachings to come this week, and here's a look ahead at September:

There will be no tapings or coachings September 6-7, but business will resume as usual September 8. If you need a taping on the 6th or 7th, feel free to contact me and I will try to refer you to someone who is available.

ALSO: My next workshop has been scheduled at The Second City! Mark your calendars for September 24-25. Looking forward to it!

August is SOLD OUT, but September Dates are Coming Soon!

August 15, 2016

     Let me just say, you guys ROCK. Thanks to your awesomeness, my August workshop at The Second City Training Center is completely SOLD OUT. If you didn't make it in to the class this month, don't fret: September dates are in the works!

"What is this workshop, exactly?"

     Great question! The workshop is an on-camera class for teens that takes place over the course of two days. On the first day, I coach students on commercials, scenes and monologues. We talk about the business, practice slates, work on material the students have spent a week preparing, and review everyone's work. On the second day, students record a "virtual showcase," where they perform their pieces on camera as well as give a quick interview. The showcase is then posted on Matt Miller's Virtual Showcase, and the link is sent to more than 200 industry professionals including agents, casting directors and producers, to name a few. 

"Who is Matt Miller?"

     Matt Miller has been on the Chicago scene for many years. He began his career in casting, then moved on to directing plays and commercials. He is currently the executive producer of Teachers on TV Land. But why take my word for it? You can view some of his work here. 

     Sound cool? Keep checking back for further information regarding the next workshop. I hope to see you (or your talented teen) there!

More with The Second City!

August 1, 2016

     Calling all parents of teens! In less than three weeks I'll be teaching another on-camera workshop at The Second City Training Center. The first day, I coach students on monologues, scenes and commercial copy. Then on the second day I record their performances to be posted on Matt Miller's Virtual Showcase. Class size is limited, and there are only a few spots left. Sign your kids up before it's too late! Click here to learn more.

     And speaking of the ol' Virtual Showcase, I'll be recording another one for adults later this month! It's a pretty stellar way to be seen by more than 200 industry professionals. Interested? Click here.
