Audition Coaching in Chicago — With a Twist of Confidence & Creative Edge

If you’ve ever Googled “audition coaching Chicago” or scrolled through Reddit looking for “dance reel feedback,”you’ve probably noticed a theme:

The traditional coaching world can feel cold, clinical, and honestly… kinda soul-sucking.

But what if your next audition didn’t require you to “fix yourself” to fit a mold?

What if it became a sacred, expressive ritual that amplified your uniqueness instead?

Welcome to Red Hot Annie’s Embodied Audition Coaching — where creative performers, dancers, and multidisciplinary artists come to refine, reclaim, and radiate.

🎥 Why Traditional Audition Coaching Often Falls Short

Many acting and dance coaches do a great job preparing students for technical requirements — but miss the emotional alchemy that gets you booked.

I’ve coached hundreds of performers through:

  • Nervous auditions
  • Uninspiring reels
  • Identity crises mid-monologue

And what I’ve learned is this:

Confidence isn’t just a technique — it’s a transmission.

You can have the perfect reel or a polished monologue, but if your energy doesn’t land? They won’t remember you.


How Embodied Coaching Is Different

My approach blends:

  • Somatic awareness to regulate your nervous system on the spot
  • Sensual movement and presence work to ground your performance
  • Monologue & scene coaching that helps you reveal, not just act
  • Dance reel feedback sessions with honest, constructive notes + intuitive upgrades

💌 Who This Is For

If you’re:

  • A Chicago-based performer preparing for an audition (theatre, film, voiceover, dance)
  • A creative who wants more authentic feedback on your dance reel
  • A former performer returning to your artistry with new clarity
  • A sensitive soul who feels unseen in traditional coaching containers…
