ACTING SCHOOL
Actors! Remember it is your responsibility to make the
commitment to become a great actor. You should be
constantly taking acting classes, and this is where the
Chicago Motion Picture Studios' Acting School comes into
play...
Seriously, you should question your commitment on a
regular basis. Remember this job isn't for everyone,
don't force it if you don't LOVE it. Your parents didn't
tell you to be an actor they said to be a Doctor or
Lawyer! Since your not listening to them in the first
place make them proud of your decision by becoming
successful! So commit and don't quit! "Break-A-Leg"
In Chicago you can be multi-listed with many agents.
Since Chicago is more of a "commercial" oriented town
rather then a "Film" town, that plays to the advantage
of the actor. Sometimes you could be submitted by more
than one agent, which means, the client or casting
director may have a better chance to remember you!
