Written by established Chicago actor and teacher Chris Agos, Acting In Chicago demystifies the question of how to earn a full time living as an actor. Used in university acting programs and recommended by agents and acting coaches, it has become the actor’s definitive guide to starting and growing a career in the Midwest’s booming entertainment business. Learn about the seven ways Chicago actors make money actually acting, how much career actors can earn, agents, casting directors, essential investments to make (and which to skip), the actors’ union and much, much more. This edition adds new information on self-taped auditions, how Chicago actors can prepare for a move to Los Angeles, and how to get a child actor into the business.
