Explore convenient locations for auditions in Chicago

Now that you have a script it's time to start looking for actors to take on each role. That means letting potential stars know that a production is in the works with a casting call and finding just the right space for your audition.
Any audition space you select should balance the needs of your event with those of potential guests. If the venue is massive, gorgeous, but inconvenient to access, you're less likely to attract the talent you need to get this production running. Many of the best places for auditions in Chicago are located along the city's excellent public transportation network. Bus and rail lines nearby make it easier for actors to commit without having to mess with parking. Alternatively, a large venue may offer free parking when you rent the space. So check out parking and transit options well beforehand.

Discover professional audition spaces in Chicago

Professional audition spaces abound here, in one of America's cultural capitals. From repurposed factory lofts in the Lower West Side to acting academies with dedicated audition rooms, you're sure to find a space that meets your budget and vision.
Acting Studio Chicago is a 42-year old drama school in River North offering rental audition spaces at hourly and daily rates. You have six studio spaces to choose from that sit 20 to 50 people comfortably. A lobby is available as a waiting room, as are tripods, studio umbrella lights, and other supporting equipment.
The Actors' Equity Building Member Center on Randolph St. in the West Loop is another conveniently located professional audition space in Chicago. Hourly and daily rentals include a waiting area and 40 x 22 foot studio with huge windows that allow loads of natural light to penetrate. Sound dampening, wi-fi, bathrooms, private dressing rooms, and other amenities ensure your audition goes smoothly.

Why not rent an audition space in Chicago?

Chicago has no shortage of space for one-off events. Whether you need a huge auditorium space to audition hundreds of potential actors or a cozy conference room in a library for a few finalists, you'll be sure to find a space in no time.
One benefit to a Chicago audition space rental is that many come pre-equipped with audio-visual technology. Surround sound speakers, additional lighting, video cameras, projectors, and microphones may be necessary for your audition. Having these on site well beforehand simplifies the preparation you and your staff need to do.

Studio A - for fitness, dancing, casting calls, photo shoots, meetings, lectures, etc.
This space served as the quintessential 'audition space' for our commercial. Host and building were accommodating to our our film crew - only watch out is that the freight elevators are avail on a schedule so you'll want to plan load-in and out around that if you're with...
Jeana H.
Spacious photo & video studio in prime Williamsburg
little food prep area. The rolling rack is a little one - I'd invest in two chrome collapsible rolling racks $125/each and a $200 commercial steamer and charge renters a day fee of $40 and you'd make you money back and then we would have to haul ours to...
