Matt Miller's Virtual Showcase

June 2, 2017

     Matt Miller's Virtual Showcase has posted! For those of you wondering, Matt is a Chicago-based director who runs a showcase for actors that he then posts online for agents and casting directors to check out. It's a great way for industry professionals to get to know the talent - both new and established - here in the Chicago community. I've been fortunate enough to edit the recent showcases, and it's fun to see all the amazing talent that exists in this city.  

Read more about the Showcase here!

Update (September 18, 2019): The Virtual Showcase is still going strong, and it’s exciting that so many actors have booked jobs, been called in for auditions and signed with agents - all from being seen in the showcase! One big change: it’s no longer called Matt Miller’s Virtual Showcase. He’s still the creator/owner and very much a part of the process, but it’s now referred to as the Chicago Virtual Showcase. I am officially the session runner and editor for the showcase, and am happy to answer any questions you might have. Check out the showcase website or visit the Virtual Showcase tab from the menu on this site.

Self Tape with Christina Thompson

June 1, 2017

     It's the first day of June, the sun is shining and the weather couldn't be better here in Chicago. Ever since the television networks hosted their upfronts (where they announce the shows that are returning or coming to the network for the next season), auditions have really picked up for local and out-of-town actors. I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Christina Thompson, who stopped by Acting Studio Chicago for a self tape. Keep it up, everyone!

Abby's Back!

May 31, 2017

     Since the last time I taped Abby for an audition, she's booked a role on Chicago Med, received callbacks for commercial and theatre gigs, placed in dance competitions, and even done some modeling. The girl is BUSY.  

It's a joy to see how much she's grown as an actor over time. Keep up the great work, Abby!

HamilMen Back in the Studio
