Hey guys! I'm just an ordinary 24 year old going to be 25 this July, i've had a passion for acting since I was young when the first Harry potter film came out. I've done some school plays through out my life but never anything big, I don't really have much acting skills but was always told I would gain some down the road. The biggest dream of mine is to become an actor and will do just about anything to get there, I am currently unemployed so I guess that means more time for school in the acting industry. I was told about stage 32 through Facebook and thought it would be a great idea to give it a shot, I really hope to get noticed some day and be given the chance of a life time. Thank you!
Hi Brandon! It sounds like you don't have a lot of disposable income at this point so I highly recommend learning as much as you can regarding the acting industry from free sources. Three people I follow on youtube are Amy Jo Berman, Wendy Alane Wright, and Brian Patacca. Something I've learned from listening to these three and form my acting coach is that, as an actor, you have to be both business savvy and creative. As an actor, you are your own business. You have to promote your business (you) and train to run a good business. Break a leg and have fun!
Thank you Jackie, I will most certainly look into that and check those three people out. I do get what you mean by learning from free sources since I have no income at the moment, jobs are hard to get in my area but working hard to find one. I am looking into a few places that help you get into school expecially ones that work with these industry's, I do appreciate you taking time to reply to my post and I hope it helps in the long run. Thanks again!

BRandon, my advise would be to do every little short or student film that is being made in your area for no more than 1 year, then you must move to L.A. or New York. If your dream is to be an actor, you're young enough but you have to move to one of those places to have any hope of fulfilling that dream
