At what point should I consider moving to LA?

Question

I'm a high school graduate. I was heavily involved in theatre at my high school, and I'm going to a state university on a theatre scholarship. I'd really like to do film professionally, but there really aren't many film opportunities where I am. I'm considering the L.A. move at some point, but how long should I wait? Should I try to get local film experience first? Also, there are no film acting programs here, just stage...so I don't want to move to L.A. blind and inexperienced....any thoughts?

Answer 1

When the time comes that you have to.

Answer 2

well, id work on getting an agent first and then asking them. they'll tell you when your ready. also, an agent will probably send you down to LA a lot, so while your down their, casually look for a home in your spare time. after youve gotten your first slightly significant role (oh look, there's my left shoulder!) and you start going down once a week or so, its time to buy a house, cause things should get serious VERY soon. The best advice i have is to try and get local filming stuff, as much as you possibly can.

Answer 3

and submit to agents and do auditions etc at same time and keep a night job (not too late though)
