- What types of projects you submit for.
- union/nonunion
- paid/unpaid
- Student and graduate-student films
- What headshot you would like to use for a particular audition.
- What clips or reels you would like to submit for a particular audition.

Theater Resources
While the above casting sites often list theater auditions, you can learn about theater auditions in Chicago through several other resources as well. As always, do your research on theaters!
- Have you attended this theater and seen a few shows?
- Are you familiar with their style?
- Is your training and experience equal to what you see in their shows?
- Do they have yearly “general” auditions? OR Do they audition per show?
- Be Proactive! If they accept submissions, send a headshot and resume to their casting department, letting them know you’d like to be considered for an audition in the future!
