Hi Clay. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.
Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.
Thanks, and have a creative day!
RB

I feel like I'm wasting so much time and it is getting me pretty depressed about my acting career. I live in Cleveland and it is a heavy commercial market. That is not the path I want to take with my career, but I need to try to work. Any advice is appreciated :)

Expand commentYou got it girl! Balancing both is not easy but if you keep it up long enough you may not need to work a full time job. You've been acting your whole life, if it's your passion I think you shouldn't feel hopeless but determined! Also most actors tend to think commercial work has less integrity- commercial work is great, you need to be seen/heard somewhere. It also looks much better on a reel than a lesser-featured role in a non-commercial production.

Either way, you will find a way, stick to it and don't neglect the rent : D! GooD luck

Expand commentWhat I'm doing, and I know this doesn't/wouldn't work for everyone, is I am a day trader. The money I make from day trading and my acting gigs has so far kept me solvent... But there is a steep learning curve to the freedom day trading provides. I guess the idea I'm getting at here is that there is a lot of money to be made online, be it trading like I do or writing for bloggers/companies, or what have you. And online jobs can also offer a lot more flexibility.
I don't think so!
Hope our paths cross in 2016 !!
