Should I go to LA to start acting?

Question:
Should I go to LA to start my acting career? Do you think it's a good idea?

ANSWER:

I suggest you go to LA if you are really ready to go there and know what to expect, otherwise I would say stay where you are, study acting, get some experience, build your resume, put some money aside, put together your career plan and then go. Sounds like a lot and maybe it's not what you want to hear Corey, but know this. There are so many people who go to LA to pursue an acting career and then never end up making it, because they weren't prepared. Then they end up doing something completely different.

This is my advice, starting at the top, starting with the best-quality advice I can give you and working down from there.

1. Invest in my brand new Acting Career Quick Start Home-Study Course. It's the first of its kind. Never been done. It literally walks you through the steps of starting an acting career with weekly videos. Go watch the presentation.

2. My book: Acting Career Start Up: Four Key Factors For Success

3. Start doing research around starting an acting career. This is free information on my website:

4. Here is more free information about planning your trip to LA:
www.actingcareerstartup.com/acting_classes_in_the_usa.html

www.actingcarerstartup.com has hundreds of pages of free information, but it's not structured in steps. If you know what information you are looking for, you can look for it and go get it and then leave. If you really want to have a chance at success, you will need something structured like what I listed in point number 1.

Whatever you do, make sure that you have a structured plan before you start. Know this. The harder you work to get started, the less competition you will end up having. Why? Because most people want to take the easy route. They don't want to study, market themselves and do all the things that are necessary. They just want to "get discovered". If you work hard and do the things they are not willing to do, you will eliminate them from your competition. It's that simple.

It's up to you. Thanks again and tell your friends about us!

Good luck!
