I am looking for a good performing arts college that has acting for film and not on theater in or around LA!!!

Answer 1

most schools train you to be an actor, not a specific type of actor (and if they do theyre probably a rip-off and not highly regarded). if you want to study acting and love it for the sake of the art, you wouldnt care where you did it, you would just be happy to be acting anywhere. when you get out there and start auditioning, youre going to experience a ton of rejection no matter who you are, and if you get cast, you will be very lucky, no matter whether its a commercial or a non-paying theater job. LA is hands down THE hardest city to find a job in if you are an actor, and new york and chicago come next. any other city would not offer many jobs, especially not in film. most film actors have a LOT of experience in theater, so you have to know how to do both. also there no "film acting" degree or major (there are usually one or two film acting classes in most schools but not a whole program; that really wouldnt make sense, since acting is the same for theater and film, with the exception of projecting your voice and being 'bigger' on stage as opposed to film), theres only a theater degree or major with an emphasis in acting. just google 'acting schools in LA'
