Question: A probably unsolvable question, on how to become an actor from a foreign country, like Slovenia!.!?
Well the topic says it all, I am from Slovenia, and the film industry is pretty much non existent here, even if it were more advance, I wouldn't want to act, because I'd like to do so in English, not my mother language!. Now I've said to myself that when I'll visit L!.A, I will go to an audition for fun, but we all know that it takes years to have a break, some never make it of course!. And 10 days in L!.A truly isn't enough for anything, just to get a few rejections!.

Now, I have a talent for foreign languages, I can do quite a few different English accents, even some regional accents of U!.S, by different states!. The problem is that there is no place where I could practice here, thus making it impossible to become a Hollywood actor, there was no Slovenian that EVER made it to Hollywood!.

Answer that if you can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Big problem!. You cannot work in the acting industry here without a green card!. I don't know what the situation in
Canada is but they have a thriving film industry and great acting schools in Vancouver!. Find out about work requirements from your local consulate!. There would be no point in trying to get an audition if you are not living where the audition is held, how would you go to call backs or to the filming when they get around to it!?
