Acting Colleges

 

To be or not to be, that is the question. It is a tough road being an actor. I should know. Your webmaster of this site has dabbled in the acting game for 15 years now and probably would not have created this site if he were making a living at it.

But it's some people's passion and that is great, you should go for it. If you know early enough that it 'something that you just have to do' then you may want to start in college. There are many great acting classes you can take without majoring in it in college, but there is something to be said for spending 4 years with a group of like minded people and really getting your feet wet.

That is fine, but it does not hurt to get something under your belt before you try to hit the big time. I understand you can't wait forever and there is not perfect time, but it does not hurt to do something locally

Jump right in and go to LA if you are going to do it. That is where are the action is. Do some research and go. Trial by fire is what I say. You learn by doing

I was in Hollywood a few weeks ago. I found the school I'm going to as soon as this January. The Hollywood Film & Acting Academy. They're way cheaper than the other school in LA! But it's not like you get a lesser education because it cost less. I was skeptical until I audit classes. I talked to the students and some of the professors. They told me it was really a good school. I even looked up the instructors, they're all IMDB certified. The teacher Larry Sands has a movie that's being submitted to Sundance Film Fest. They told me housing was free with my tuition. So Im thinking, well hopw much is tuition? The guy Josh, was like it 9,000! I was shocked. I've done some research and this place is legit. I'm going in January, you guys should check em out really!!!! www.hwfaa.com

I started in community theater and it was the best thing I did. I was able to get some experience before i moved to the big apple. It is a great way to start.
