I wanna pursue a carrear in acting. Should I move to LA or NY?

I%26#039;m currently 17 and by next summer will be 18 and I want to pursue a acting carrear. I wanna attend college while trying to become a actor. What city do you think would be best for me to move to LA or New York? The good thing about LA is its only a 6 hour drive from my hometown but I dont think i can deal with all the superfical people that are in the acting buissness in LA. The good thing about NY is that I can room with my uncle while I attend college but Im not sure if NY is really the place to improve my acting skills in. So which do you think would be better for me?

I personally say new York.


L.A is not the only good place to get started in acting.


They also have alot of good acting schools there.

IMO i say NY. don%26#039;t have much reason just yea i like NY better GO GO be a movie star and then send me a dollar!!!
Reply:Well, I too want to pursue in the same profession. However it doesn%26#039;t matter where you live to become a %26quot;star%26quot; I would say check out www.commercialkids.com for details on agents and stuff. It is a good way to book lots of agents...Good-Luck! Or should I say, Break A Leg!

Reply:I would do L.A. becuz thats where you would really do acting but first get an agent there. You should check out JRP they r a great school that gets you started. I myself am an actor and they have gotten me tons of agents and auditions. I have an agent in California and they r on the top 10 agents there. They r called KSA. So check out JRP.
Reply:If you want to persue a carrer on stage, NY


If you want TV and FIlm, LA


Plus, NY is a lot easier for getting started. You can build a resume and a reputation and then move to LA. If you move directly to LA i%26#039;m pretty sure you%26#039;ll be upstaged by... everyone. Madona started in NY until things came along and it was a great start for her!

If you think the people in LA are superficial, wait until you meet the snobs in NYC. Where ever you go there are those that you have to put up with. What do you mean pursue acting while going to college? What are you going to pursue in college? There are very few good colleges for acting and they are hard to get into and very expensive. Why are you not in acting camp this summer?%26gt;?: What is your home town? I just read an interview with a casting director who said you should get to LA asap because it is easier to get an agent as a teen than it is in your 20%26#039;s. I am a retired actor who advises for free aspiring actors.
