I want to get into the modeling and or acting business.

Question

I live near New York City, but how do i start?

Answer 1

Those are quite differente things...Making it big is not the key point... the key point is to be an artist. Just pursue it, continue to perform, perform in any possible play to get seen by as many people possible... practice is finally what will get you on stage in a solid way. Make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy. Being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish. Welcome! Best of luck
