Arrived Wednesday night in Chicago, and had a wonderful dinner on Rush Street
at Carmines with Chicago’s respected casting director, David O’Connor.
David has been casting in Chicago for the past 17 years and runs his casting
office as a producer. Without question, the most successful casting director
between NY and Los Angeles. With so little TV and film production in Chicago,
O’Connor Casting is busy every day casting several commercials every day! Additionally
with his alliances with casting offices in NY and LA, he has been using video
conferencing to speed the casting process.
With additional staff that has just joined him, watch as he starts casting
network and film studio work for the wonderful talented actors in Chicago.
I look forward to meeting David O’Connor at tvi studios in Chicago during the upcoming class that he is teaching: Commercial Audition Technique Intensive. I also enjoyed meeting Alan Nusbaum at the tvi actors studio sample day of classes in Chicago last fall. He was very infomative about what to expect in the industry.
