I’m 17, almost 18 and going into my senior year of high school. I’ve been involved in theater all the years of high school and helped out with independent theater productions outside of school. I’ve gone from being “older sister’s brother” to my own person with my own identity. Anyway, signing up for theater as a freshman more or less changed my life. It’s made me realize what I want to do as a career and gave me the confidence to be in front of people as an actor, comedian, and singer. It’s made me realize how to improve my writing, both on and off the stage. I’m figuring out college stuff and I want to write a one man show about these last four years and how I went from someone who was more or less lost in his own world to someone who has a goal. What would be important to add?
Hello! I am an actor who’s making the move from New York to LA in the upcoming weeks. I have a commercial agent and I’m currently seeking theatrical representation. I’m nonunion but working towards eligibility as well as have extensive training in TV/film and multiple short film credits. When I have been struggling with for a while is my type. I am not sure exactly where I fit in, and at times I think I fit in multiple categories. I thought it would be a good idea to receive the opinion of strangers in the business to get an objective opinion on what I would be. I’ll attach some headshots and reel clips. Some more information that I think would be helpful: I’m an old soul for my age, confident yet reserved (but not shy), mature and organically speak in an American Standard dialect. I’ve been told that I am sweet, kind, passionate and emotionally strong. I appreciate any feedback!
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Do I have to take classes to become a voice actor?
Ok so an Instagram account called Urban Art House Films just reached out to me, and I don't know what to say. I don't really know why, as I only have one thing on my account that signals that I am interested in acting(im private), and it has to do with the school I'm attending. I have no pictures of myself on there, and there is literally no reason why something like this would reach out to me, but here we are. I feel like I am definitely overreacting, as all they said was "are you an actor?", but I still feel like there could be a chance for me to take my first step in my acting career, but once again I'm most likely getting ahead of myself, and they probably saw the emoji (
So, I'm 20 and just finished theater conservatory, I've had a lot of anxiety in what comes to social media (except for twitter and reddit), and to this point never had an instagram account, the problem is that unfortunuately at this industry anyone without instagram account is kinda doomed to fail (so far haven't met any other actors without an instagram account). So anyway tldr I'm looking for tips on how to start a pro instgram account with social media anxiety?
Hey everyone! I audition pretty regularly and I feel as if my voice is holding me back. I have a hearing loss so, my voice is “different” and nasally. I keep having a feeling that I don’t book as often because of the way the sound of my voice is. Where are my fellow actors with weird unusual sounds to their voice.
After a long time working in the marketing/video industry, I'm finally working on my first major creative (i.e., not corporate) film project, and it's been an eye-opening experience working with actors in this way for the first time. Just wanted to share some quick observations from an outsider, in case any of it is helpful: * Casting really is 90% of directing: I've heard it said before, but now I actually understand it. I knew I wanted genuinely talented actors for this production (rather than going the "just have your friends and family say the lines" route) and it has really made all the difference. They can take something and run even further with it than I thought possible. I thought I knew the characters from having written the script, but the actors are revealing more about them than I would have been able to direct them toward. * It's a real set of skills: Watching the actors closely (and spending a lot of time editing the footage), I've started to pick up on some of the more subtle things they do. The way they use their eyes. The way they express things through their breathing. The changes in tone. The microexpressions. There's a TON of technique happening all the time. Some of it may be instinctive, but I'm sure a lot of it has been practiced until it became reflex. * It's absolutely worth paying for: Even though this is an out-of-pocket, *very* low budget project, I decided early on that I wasn't going to ask anyone to work for free. Good actors bring so much value that multiplies the production that it would be crazy to not to compensate them for their time and talent. Honestly, my only regret is not being able to pay them more. * The application/audition process is brutal: I'm using Backstage to find talent. I invited 946 actors to apply. About 300 actually applied and were invited to audition. I received about 150 self-tape auditions, and of those, actually hired 3 actors so far. I have a ton of respect for those who keep plugging away, auditioning for roles they may only have a slim chance of getting, and staying polite and positive the whole time. There have been a few weirdos, but overall I've been impressed with everyone's professionalism and determination. * I've had to turn down a lot of great actors: Sometimes the audition is really great, but there was another one that was a *slightly* better fit. Sometimes they're amazing but not for the role I had open (in which case I put them on a list to consider for future projects). Sometimes their look was too similar to another actor in the production. Sometimes the timing of their availability wasn't right. There are countless reasons why an actor might not get a part after auditioning, none of which have to do with the quality of their talent. * Talent beats look: Even if an actor didn't quite fit the profile I had in mind for a character, I quickly found it was worth rewriting around the right talent if I could find it. * It's all about the audition: I also learned that it's nearly impossible to tell anything from actor profiles, headshots, and even reels. I was surprised (positively and negatively) countless times while reviewing auditions. There's just no way to tell how someone's going to do until they audition, and some of those I've hired (or plan to hire) were ones I'd initially written off as probably not a great fit until I saw their auditions. * The competition might not be as tough as you think: I feel bad for what I'm about to say, but I'll be frank. After going through 150 self-tape auditions, I'd say that the majority of them were...not great. It felt like people just reading lines to a camera, with relatively little actual acting happening. I had to go through a lot of those (and start to wonder if that was just how acting went) before I started to stumble on those very few who really knew how to do something with their performance. If you're a good actor, you'll stand out. * My thumbs up / thumbs down guideline: After going through a lot of auditions, I quickly realized that there was a clear difference that separated the yays from the nays. It was all about whether I could see the actor or see the character. If I felt like I was watching an actor deliver a performance, I passed. If I felt like I was watching a character coming to life, I immediately shortlisted them. It was really that simple. Anyway, I'm probably rambling. I like to hang out here because I want to learn more about working well with actors and also just because I'm impressed by what you do (since I can't act for crap). You have my respect and admiration. Thanks for doing what you do, because I couldn't do what I do without it.
How does this work with actors, since they are self-employed? I’m currently working a 9-5 so my employer pitches in for insurance, but I’ve recently been very curious about the process for actors. Does SAG-AFRA help?
An agent has agreed to represent me, but I never signed a contract (I’m assuming because I am a beginner actor), but he sends me on about 3 auditions a month for about the past 5 months. What does it mean if you are represented without a contact? Should I be worried?
Hey LA actors I'm a long time hobby photographer (mostly travel and nature) with a nice camera and some decent gear looking to branch out into headshots and portrait photography. I'm looking for some actors who would be willing to let me take your photos for practice and to build my portfolio, no charge to you. I can't promise they'll be perfect, but if you need some updated looks it might be a great chance to collaborate. Send me a message here and let's take some headshots!
How do I find the right acting technique to study/practice for me? I know that it’s helpful and beneficial to be open and exposed to as many techniques/tools as possible, but I would assume that most actors have a solid foundation/base rooted in a particular technique/method/approach. Should I try to find a technique that plays more into my strengths and builds them up even stronger or should I try to find one that builds up and strengthens my weaknesses? This is a particularly strange and maybe illogical question, but is it possible that certain types of actors with certain archetypal traits and preferences gravitate towards certain techniques of acting? What kinds of actors prefer Stanislavski Strasberg? Stella Adler? Chekhov? Meisner? Uta Hagen? Etc. How do I know if I should choose Chekhov, Stella Adler, Stanislavski, Strasberg, Meisner, etc as my primary approach to the work?
I am 32 years old. I've been acting for years but haven't gotten any good roles, no agent or manager. And I graduated with my Bachelors in May of 2021 from The New School where I studied acting, theatre, and film. I have always wanted to live in London, and further my acting career by getting an MA/MFA in London, right now I'm thinking LAMDA or Guildford at Uni of Surrey. But I'm concerned that: 1. I'm too old? I don't want to be the oldest in the program by far, and struggle to relate/make friends 2. Would an MFA even help my career? Would I be able to work as an actor in London? (since I'm American). I am a paid-up SAG member though. Any information and advice is helpful, thank you :)
Hi everyone! I live in Latin America, but I want to be an actress. I have been taking classes since I was in high school, but I was never admitted in my dreamed college here in that major, I'm supposed to graduate from other major during the following year. The thing is that I decided to give it a try in AADA, I auditioned, and was accepted. I'm scared because I truly want to give it a try, but as a migrant I'm scared of feeling like a failure in a country where I'll be completely alone. Have anyone experienced something like this? Do you have other recommendations?
SORRY FOR THE LOOOONG POST lol First off, I'm most likely overthinking/misreading the situation. I do that, so it's definitely a large possibility lol. Ok, now some info: I'm a SAG-AFTRA actor in Los Angeles. I have some credits, but I'm still green on many things. I've been taking classes from an acting coach who's also involved in casting. I'm aware that casting directors have come under fire in the past for "workshops" that at least imply if you pay money for the workshop, you might be cast in a project of their's. This is not like that. He constantly brings up that this class is for educational purposes only and he's generally very sheepish about any projects he's casting. He doesn't mention them and if someone else does, he's very guarded about any details. His body language very much says that he doesn't want everyone bugging him about trying to get a part, so he generally keeps class and casting very separate. I've never thought about inquiring about projects with him as I always thought that would be lame and unprofessional. I realize class and casting are separate so I just try to do my very best in class and if he ever did think I was right for something, I figured he would bring me in to read and be considered. He's a great guy and teacher but not one to throw out a lot of compliments. He's definitely supportive, but also blunt to an extent. I've been taking classes steadily for 6 months and I can say I've improved. He's always been helpful, and encouraging, but again, not overly complimentary. I'm not there just to be complimented lol so it's fine. Anyway, in the last class, I had a great read. This was a two person scene, and he is the reader for the other part, so its basically like you're auditioning for him. I got the scene a few days before and prepared something. He's always big about actor's trying new things, taking risks, etc so I did that and it went really well! After class, he pulls me aside and says "that he's a FAN of mine" and that I'm a wonderful actor! This is the advanced class and he explained why he placed me in that level, he said it was my attitude/work ethic and that he never knows what I'm going to do in a scene and that he loves that. Again, he's not overly complimentary so this is flooring me at this point lol. He's been encouraging in the past but these compliments felt personal and not just him being a supportive teacher. Then he said "and now I've got to cast this movie and I'll have to go through all these self tapes of people who don't take risks and bring something like you do" and he kind of looked at me annoyed about having to do that. THIS IS THE PART WHERE IM PROBABLY READING SOMETHING INTO NOTHING but he sort of held his stare as if I was supposed to clue into something there. "Does he want me to read for his movie???" I thought: "No, he's a blunt guy. He's not going to fish around and hint about me possibly being cast, he'll just ask... ...unless he can't? Is that some unethical thing about casting/classes that I don't know about?" Can he not just outwardly ask me to read for a part since Im a student? So I guess I'm wondering if I'm reading too much into something or not, and I probably am. I think I'll just ask him in class before it starts and say "tell me about this movie?" and see what he says. I'll do it early before a lot of people are there. Thanks for reading my novel lol. Any thoughts?
I [M/29] am a fresh new voice actor looking for my very first role. I only have a commercial demo. Yet, I've been practicing and taking some informal training recently to understand working in the anime industry and how dubbing works, and I've realized that I seem to have found my niche in advancing forward. However, do I absolutely need to have an animation demo to be contacted for an audition? Or would my commercial demo alone be sufficient?
What does being relaxed feel like? I’ve heard tension is the actors worst enemy, and I’ve read how crucial relaxation is for actors and their work, and I’ve tried relaxation exercises before. But what does relaxation / being relaxed feel like? How can I tell if I’m relaxed enough?
I graduated uni with an acting degree back in 2019, and have recently started doing some extras (SA) work alongside a part time job. But I'm confused with the fees. I've got a part time job where I earn about £1,100 a month, so I'm just about hitting the threshold to pay tax. A few extra agencies I'm with will charge between 17.5 - 20% commission and then charge VAT (another 20%). So they take 40% from me straight off. And because of my part time job income, that essentially means that all my SA work with these agencies is essentially taxed straight off by the government (another 20%) leaving me with 40% of all wages. What's the point if I don't even get the majority of my money? How do other actors go about not getting ripped off through taxes and fees if you're under the threshold to register for VAT as a sole trader? Is there anything I can claim tax back on? Or is that only once I'm hitting over £77K a year and can register for VAT? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi guys! So, for 5 different days, I've been asked to come back as a background actress for the Apple TV series "Swagger"! (A basketball show based on Kevin Durant's life.) Because I'm 20, they had me playing a student each time.
hi all, I have a situation I don't know how to move forward with. I'm a non-union bg actor and for this one project, I have received half the rate that was advertised in the ad. Ad said 200/6. I was on set 12hrs and was expecting to receive around 400, but have only received 200. I have a screenshot of the original post and rate and have emailed them asking for their accounting dept. the EP emailed me back asking what was up, I explained I thought perhaps there was a mix up, just curious what happened, blah blah blah. nothing. a week later, I officially asked in email form for an additional 200. it's been a few days and nothing. now I don't know how to proceed. should I warn them I plan on taking this to small claims court? has anyone done this before? thanks and let me know.
I recently finished watching Game Of Thrones, and after watching I want to start dabbling in acting. I am 19m and am attending a university within the next month, it's not a university for theater and drama, it's just a standard university. My degree will take 4 years and I want to get it before I make any drastic changes to my lifestyle. Since this want to act is very new I don't have any acting experience. my university has a drama program, but to my knowledge, it's just run by students and it's more based on people wanting to learn how to act in plays/musicals. I can't sing and have no desire to be in plays and for as long as I can remember I have never liked them. If I was to be an actor I would only consider acting in films or TV shows. I know I will have to do smaller productions when I first start out, but I would do short films, one-off cameos, and student films. But I would never do theater or anything on stage. Is it worth joining the drama club if I have no desire to be on stage, they do 2 performances a year and even if I was in the club I would be relegated to join in on them. Is there a better alternative or should I wait till a graduate and then do acting classes when I have more money?
Hey there, I'm an actor based in Chicago and was curious what it would be like for me to just leave and go to a different city like LA, NY, or ATL... I'm sure all three are different but I really do not know what I would do. I am a member of SAG-AFTRA, been casted in Chicago TV shows, commercials and indie movies. So I do have a resume along with a reel. I can't help but feel like the Chicago connections I've made here would somewhat vanish or I would miss opportunity not being there. On the other hand I feel like I have missed a bunch of opportunity not living in a city that has a film industry which is ultimately where I'd like to be. Is it possible to even get a glimpse of how life would be through visiting any of these cities?
I know it’s possible for a SAG Actor to take work on a low budget union contract, and choose not to get paid… Unless the film makes money… in which case they get paid portion of whatever that is…BUT, my question is whether it is allowed to submit that low-budget contract made short film to Amazon to be considered for a listing? I thought I read on the SAG contract somewhere that distribution was forbidden? Am I mistaken on that?
I’ve been doing audio roleplays on YouTube [my channel](https://youtube.com/channel/UCba_TQSFoxrlx8fIZUtnpDA) I was wondering if my voice and acting is good So I was hoping for feedback/criticism
Hi guys so my manager apparently dropped me. I received a cmail message on actors access saying that my talent representative removed me from their client roster. I didn’t receive any kind of personal email or message from my manager. TLDR Do I call him and ask what’s going on/tell him how much working with him means to me?Here’s an explanation about our time together: I’m based in Florida and my manager is in New York, we met through mutual contacts and I sent him a monologue and he liked it so he took me on. I signed with him near the end of 2020 and he told me when I can, after the pandemic, come out to the city so he can submit me for things there. During the rest of 2020 and 2021 the pandemic was still going strong and I wasn’t able move. But he was sending me things that I could be submitted for because they were online auditions/national castings and I did send him auditions back so it’s not like we never worked together at all. I also received coaching from him. I then stopped receiving work from him for a little while and life stuff was going on. Then i reached back out and I spoke to him just about two months ago telling him how I’m saving up to take a trip there and stay for a while so I can get some work and then potentially move there. He sounded encouraging about it all. We then spoke the end of last month when I wished him good luck on a project and also wished him well when he was sick. But now it’s like he totally forgot all we talked about and forgot we’ve been in touch and just dropped me! I was planning to take that trip very soon. I’m really shocked and scared to call him and ask what’s up. Should I call and express to him that our contract isn’t over for another year and that I was saving up like we talked about? I feel like i need to convince him to take me on still and I feel cheated out of what I thought was a good manager/client relationship and deal. but I’m also scared to hear that he doesn’t want anything to do with me
So, I’ve got an agent at the Ann steele agency, and a manager. I have no good credits to my name- just indies and student films and college theatre productions. I’ve got okay materials- I love my headshots, I like my footage that I’m submitting with. I have had three network costar auditions from my reps in the year and a half I’ve had them- all simple one liners. (I’ve gotten other indie film auditions from them- I promise I audition more than 3 times a year!) My reps- who usually work independently from each other- have seperately told me I simply don’t have the clout yet to get into rooms. If I had one costar credit under my belt, I think my momentum would start changing. What are your thoughts? What can I do? I usually do a casting director workshop once a month. What else can I do? Is NYC just not filming much? NYC actors, do you audition for tv here often?
Hi everyone! I’m interested in acting and would like to take a class to learn important skills & meet other potential actors. I currently live in LA and do not have any professional acting experience, so I’m looking for a class that caters to that. If you have any recommendations for classes/instructors, I would truly appreciate you sharing them here! Thank you in advance :)
So I have straight and healthy teeth but I do have a little overbite and was concerned if it would effect my dreams of being an actor
Due to lack of funds, moving around, being in school, moving around again, then lack of funds again, I've had to depend on mostly myself to learn acting and hold myself accountable for growing my skills. It's really hard work with not a lot of validation until I prove myself in shows. I'm getting gigs and working hard and it shows. I'm damn proud. I've really struggled with physical acting - it doesn't come naturally to me and having little mentorship is HARD. I've been working out a lot and even got a tuition waiver for an SAFD cert, got a big discount on Tai chi classes, and continue to practice dance and movement with free YouTube videos. Then I hit the books and practice movement with text, and write down how I somatically interpret performance. Hours and hours. I'm just tired and my body is sore and I feel frustrated. I'm honestly just looking for some surface level encouragement from folks who know approx where I'm at.
I've personally never seen anything that i think compares. I didn't watch much Doogie, All That, or the Amanda Show, some people have suggested some of the kids on those. Any family sitcom I'm really familiar with, the kids fall short, except Will Friedle, but was already 17 when the series started. The only other kid from any Disney original TV show other then Even Stevens that I thought was truly funny was the sister in Phil of the Future. The kid in "The Man Show" was funny, but not sure if he had a mic in his ear, or if some of those lines are really his own. But none of these examples, to me, compares to Louis Stevens.

Hey everyone I’m an LA based female actor…early 40s, started my career a bit later in life. (2016) First costar booking in 2019. I’ve had a lot of momentum audition wise (theatrical)through 2021 and 2022. I’ve got a great team who values me and gets me out there. I’ve had 5 pins and a producer session for a recurring on a Disney pilot. I’m very grateful for all of this and I KNOW that there’s an element of timing here…. My mantra is FAITH TRUST PATIENCE but…. Sometimes the not booking in so long..(since Dec. 2020) gets my self doubt going…and I’m posting here for a reality check. I’m in class, CD workshops, I coach for most of my auditions but man….it’s hard to book these days! And I’ve noticed episodic season is way slower than normal this year. And of course there’s the money aspect…at least there’s residuals! Thank goodness
Hi there! I am looking for an actor who can improv and tell a story that will be recorded. It’s super easy and laid back— just need the right person! The job in total should only take 2ish hours and you will be compensated! No need for camera work— just voice! Must have good internet connection and a quiet room to record in….
The most helpful thing I’ve learned from this sub is to truly let go of all expectations. I’ve realized that no matter what career stage we are at, we actors (and other industry folks too!) share so much of the same anxiety about what is going to happen next. I am slowly learning to lean into the uncertainty and simply focus on my part. It’s easier said than done but I’m glad I have community support like this sub to make me feel less alone.
Heya, I'm 18F from Germany, starting theatre school soon :) Anybody here maybe willing to talk alittle via DM and give some tips? Actors from Germany and/or in theatre especially welcome haha.
Hi there! I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this, but I figured people who do or are interested in voice acting might be able to give some advice. Basically, I am deeply fascinated by how people are able to do that super low, guttural, growly sort of voice and I'd love to learn how to do it! I am no voice actor, it's just this one thing that I'm really intrigued by and I find it really cool, so I'd appreciate it if y'all had any tips or at least some reliable resources to learn from! I am a 19 y/o male with a relatively deep voice, so I'm hoping learning to do it won't be as hard as I'm half-afraid it might be. Some voice lines to give you a better idea of what I mean: [https://youtu.be/1AIQXqTHWmA?t=52](https://youtu.be/1AIQXqTHWmA?t=52) The first part of [https://youtu.be/1AIQXqTHWmA?t=206](https://youtu.be/1AIQXqTHWmA?t=206) and anything from this: [https://youtu.be/JpRUQzPOouU](https://youtu.be/JpRUQzPOouU) (just to be clear, I'm looking to learn to do it with my own, natural voice, not in a software) Thank you for any and all responses.
Hello I’ve always wanted to be an actress my whole life. I’m not the stereotype skinny blond though. So I don’t know how much success I would have. I’m thinking about going to a acting school in nyc. I’m terrified of leaving everyone and everything I know for a busy city. I’ve lived in a small town my whole life. I’m also so scared of failing but I feel like I need to start now and my window is closing because I’m already 20 and I’m getting to old. Idk what I’m saying I’m just scared and I feel like I already missed my opportunity.. please if anyone has any advice let me know.
I’ve been wanting to be an actor/voice actor/writer for a while now and after i watched Godzilla Vs Kong, i was pretty motivated. I wrote a screenplay based off of the Batman Who Laughs. I used the character, Jim Gordon, added a few characters if my own and made a complete plot-line of my own, intense but not extreme like the comic. I wanted to get an opinion so i wanted to see… anyone interested in reading a piece of it? [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/wqg15v)
Can I get a perm (M) if I want to be an actor, or should I stick with my natural straight hair?
Casting Networks sent me an email today about a role in my area that starts out with a casting note, saying "only submit actors". I signed up with a non-exclusive casting agency for extra work a year ago, but I emailed them and asked them to put me forward as I'm confident I can do the role, which is a speaking role in a small part of the film that requires an accent. I just want to see - how likely do you think it is that an extra agency would willingly submit someone who has only done extra work, if I have a look that they might be after and confidence in my ability?
I've just been brought on my first project and are really thrilled to be working. I got some lines, I recorded, and it sounded great on my end. But after I sent them in, my audio was really low compared to the other actors. Im using Audacity at the moment so maybe I failed to set something correctly? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
I’m directing a short film in my home town, and I want to thank my actors for working so hard on my project. I’ve heard of people giving the director a gift, but not so much about the opposite.
I tried reading a book from Stanislavsky and I couldn't understand a thing, so I would like to know what book do you recommend and is easy to start reading about acting.
I'm talking about the "walk around doing random body movements and loud sweeping noises" stuff, or the stuff where people stand in a circle and basically do a bunch of guided babbling and literal shrieking. They say it's to get you out of your head, but for me it does the exact precise opposite. It feels too self-indulgent -- here I am, an Actor being Actory, and I'm inventing all of this sound and movement and shit because I'm supposed to, with no motivation or reasoning other than I'm Paying the Person Who Tells Me I'm Supposed To. Apparently it means I'm too closed off to ever be a real actor. My experience is that I can go there when the character does -- I don't hold myself back in that regard. But the situation has to call for it or else I just feel like an adult theater-kid stereotype. I feel like it's not necessarily reasonable to expect that every single acting student will respond the same way to an exercise, and they might just need a different approach to get the effect you need. We can't all be coming at it from the same angle because that literally is not what human behavior or art or any of this is about. I really want to train with someone who knows how to work with different types of people, but I don't want to be a nuisance. Or entitled. Or whatever my actual issue is. What's your take on this? If I genuinely need an attitude adjustment I'm open to that.
I am a teenager who wants to become an actor but I’m trans and not necessarily out so does anybody know what I should do like should I just register as my assigned gender or like should I come out and register as my gender?
How stupid am I for wanting to be an actor to become wealthy? Are the odds for me to become the next Di Caprio as big as the odds of me getting into space ?

How many times a week would you say the average actor auditions? Or you yourself? Really all there is to it. Thanks in advance.
i wanted to see if I could get the opinions of some others actors, especially anyone NYC based. I’m 25F, earned my BA in theatre two years ago. I live in a medium sized city with a decently sized theatre community. I’ve been consistently auditioning and have been in 5 shows in the last two years, as well as done some short film work, modeling, and put on my own show. Obviously Covid hugely impacted everything, I would’ve hopefully had way more work if that hadn’t been a thing. I’ve been feeling very bored and unfulfilled, so I started auditioning for grad schools and conservatory programs. I got accepted into a great conservatory in NYC and I could start this fall. I love NYC and I’ve always wanted to live there. It’s also a great school and I already have an apartment there too. But moving has been a huge stressor and put a huge financial strain on me and my family. My mom has been generous enough to help me pay for everything, but it’s getting to that point where I’m not comfortable borrowing as much money as I will have to. I’m starting to have major doubts. I wonder if I should stay another year in my smaller market to save up money and hopefully do more shows and gain experience here. but I’m also afraid that if I don’t go, I’ll miss out on some major connections that could really kickstart my career, and I’ll always wish that I went. The conservatory can hold my spot for one more year, I guess I’m just afraid I might get “stuck” here and not end up going next year. I currently work as a nanny and just do acting on the side. Im honestly not entirely sure what my career goals are yet. I’d love to be an actor full time, but since that’s pretty hard to make a living off, I’d love to do something else theatre related as a day job. I just don’t know what. Part of me thinks going to the conservatory would help me figure that out, but part of me thinks it’s a huge waste of money to go when im not a hundred percent sure of what my career path is yet. I would miss out on the apartment I have out there, which is a really good deal, if I don’t go. That’s also something to consider since NYC is so expensive. Would love some input from anyone older and wiser or who knows about the current market in nyc
I started acting when I was 11, and I just turned 25, and I have this bad habit of comparing myself to other actresses my age who are successful. My main passion is Musical Theatre, but I would love to get into tv and film, as I’m going back to college for a communications/theatre degree. Is this normal to feel behind because there’s other people your own age who are constantly booking jobs?
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
