Theatre ---> New York
Los Angeles <---- Film

Not saying that you can't go to New York for a movie/tv role!. It's just that New York is a little more known for boardway!. And L!.A!. is mostly common for people wanting to be on camera!. Personally, I always tell aspiring actors to get a degree in something film related so they can always have something to fall back on in the same industry!. You can open up more doors for yourself that way, istead of just wasting your time, struggling to afford to live in LA!. And working two shitty waitress jobs, waiting to be discovered!. Which can ultimately NEVER happen unless you put yourself in a position where your always gonna have a job in the industry that will allow you to meet casting directors, producers,etc!.

Over 90% of actors are OUT OF WORK!! And this is an on-going thing!. So you gotta bring more to the table then just a pretty face and mediocre talent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

LA is the entertainment capital!. They shoot most american films in New York but LA is where the business is!.

That being said, it is a crap city in my opinion!. I hope you get to like it and do wellWww@QuestionHome@Com

LA for sure! Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
