Breaking into the Business: An Actor’s Guide to the Chicago Industry

The entertainment industry doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Until now.

Built from over two decades of training actors and launching careers, this guide pulls back the curtain on how the industry actually works — from the inside out. ATC Founder Carole Dibo and Managing Director Christina Ramirez have combined their experience as actors, directors, producers, and managers into a single resource designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Inside the guide:

• How commercial, tv, and theatre casting actually works
• Chicago casting directors and how to approach them
• A comprehensive guide to talent agencies currently operating in Chicago
• Resume samples and tips
• The latest headshot trends and how to nail your session
• How to find audition opportunities for actors with or without an agent

Whether you or your child are just starting out, you’ve been navigating the industry on your own, or wondering why you’re not booking, this guide addresses the questions that hold actors back and gives you a clear path forward. Updated yearly to keep pace with an ever-changing industry.

From the award-winning team with a national reputation for training actors to the industry’s standards.
