I'm an international student living in the US, I was wondering how difficult it is to actually get an acting job? My main concern being VISA issue and H1-B just seems extremely difficult. :(
I live in Dallas, Texas and I’ve been in 2 commercials for a regional restaurant. I just got picked up by an agency as a new talent as well. I will be enrolling in acting classes soon. What a ride...
How is the market there?? Been debating on moving to LA for awhile now. Actually lined up a job but it requires the jab and with gas at $7 a gallon and easily $1500 a month rent is going to be tough to do side acting pursuits.
Your advice is so refreshing to hear. You're really helpful and open to sharing so much info. I've been trying to make it in New York for the past two years. It's been so hard to grow even while taking acting classes. The competition is extreme. Maybe moving to Atlanta could give me the growth I've been wanting.
I have a friend who moved from NYC to Atlanta 2 years ago and her career has taken off since she got here. Of course, that is not a guarantee that it will happen to everyone, but it is a good example.
I currently live in Atlanta with acting experience and now considering moving to Florida just for the tropical vibes. Most work here in Atlanta is production crew based but the agents are great. Not sure if moving to Florida will stunt my acting career or not but I’ll be flying to LA and ATL when needed. Hopefully there’s plenty of work in Florida too.
@@tonillewatkis4585 I decided to stay in Atlanta. The market is just better over all. Got a house being built that’s due to finish in a few weeks in Midtown. I’ll just fly to South Florida or drive to Savannah, GA when I’m in a beachy mood. 🏖
There's work in Florida, but it's not as good as the top 3. Hopefully one day Florida Politicians will stop shooting Florida in the foot for film & television.
I was born and have a reliable day job in LA so it wouldn't make sense for me to move to Atlanta for my acting career although it is cheaper cost of living in ATL. That being said, there's so much opportunity here to get work for both big and small independent/student films! So glad I'm here to get this new career going (yes, I still have my day job).

This video helped me SO MUCH. I live in a small town in Michigan but I live 2 hours away from Chicago, that made me realize I could possibly have a ton of opportunties after I get some more training under my belt. Thank you for the honesty!!
I always wanted to act fro. A very young age like around 12, i like how the actors make you feel what they feel while watching them i hope to someday become big thank you for your guidance❤
I really enjoyed your video. This should be required viewing for the young 20-somethings that are looking to get into the biz. I will post this on my IG account.
Do as much as you can in your home country. Take some online acting classes if you are able. When you are older, you could consider moving to a different place with more acting opportunities. There's no need to rush. I didn't start acting until I was 26.
You mentioned that it's important to do research on the markets in different cities (like LA v Chicago v New York v Atlanta). Any good sources for that? That would be interesting for economists to look at.
Hi l'm from Africa realy love acting and wanna persue my career as an actoress oneday in the US...but it really feels far away because acting is rare in my country...n it feels unrealistic to me at some point that i will be a actor one day...but your advice n encouragements got to me an hit really hard to not give up on my dream...and i really hope to see you on set one day!!!
There are acting opportunities in just about every city in the world. I'm an American who lives and works in Munich. When I decided that Germany was probably going to be the place I spent the rest of my life, I had another decision to make - either give up on my dreams or find a way to achieve them here. I don't believe in "can't do". I believe everything is possible - you just have to ask "how can I do it?" - BTW, I came for love, not my career, but I've managed to make both work even though I had to start all over again from scratch. Plus, most of you are starting out in a completely new era. You have things available to you that I never had - a film studio in your pocket for one - which means you can also create your own work that you can then use to send to agents, casting directors, producers, etc., in a bigger market to let them know you're alive. Also, since Corona, the industry has changed immensely. The first round of just about all auditions is a self tape.
Hello Kurt 😊👋 I'm italian and I'm moving to your country to pursuit my acting career. I really like to know if a non-English accent could be an obstacle for me in order to get a job as an actor in the american industry ... ? Thank you so much for your videos, precious advices and honesty! 😌🙏🏻
My cousin wanted to know are there agency in Atlanta” who can get you auditions for big roles for big movies ? And I was watching the haunting of hill house your great .
well I live in Syracuse new York and now I have to convince my parents to sign me up for acting classes. update just looked up the distance to nyc and its only 4-6 hours away 😁
Thank you so much for your help, I live in Luxembourg ITS A REALLY SMALL country it's near france, I'm 14 now when I'm 17 I will move to canada in Toronto bc my family lives there, it will help me ALOT cause I will start acting theatre school in Toronto and then i will live by myself in LA :)
Thnx for this vidoe I wil work hard I am now 14 and from India , my centre of interest is Hollywood I hope I work hard and be a Hollywood actress one day.. 🥺❤️🧡
Okay so let me first of all say thanks for making these videos they really help and also (I think I'm speaking for everyone that watches these videos) Thanks for taking the time out of your day to make these :)
Hello! Thanks for the amazing insights and video, just saw you come out on “the hate you give” I was like wait he’s the RUclipsr I watch😭 it was so unexpected but so cool, keep up the really cool videos appreciate youuu!!!
I'm very surprised you didn't mention your closest neighbour, Canada. I live in Toronto and audition (and shoot) regularly both for Canadian and American productions. Not because I have an American agent - I don't - but because Toronto is called Hollywood North for a reason. A LOT of American television and films are shot here. I'd say in Canada, at least, Toronto or Vancouver (overlooking the exorbitant costs of living in either) are not far behind American cities like LA, New York or Atlanta. I wouldn't put them on par - I average 40 to 60 auditions a year, unlike the 100 Kurt got in his first year. Just saying, there are legit Hollywood alternatives to the US.
Hello ROGUELove. I'm wondering if I could ask you a few questions regarding your experience. It would be much appreciated if you could! [Through email if possible]
@@Shanxys I don't see any way to give out my email privately here. Is there something you want to ask publicly? (Or is there a youtube PM system of which I'm unaware?)
I felt it. i live in the netherlands the smalles land in the world. I want to be a actor because a lot of people made me change my mind for example Dwayne Johnson, mark Wahlberg and isabela moner and those are just a few people i would love if i would be able to even make 1 movie with them. And would love if some agent (or you lol) would see this and would think about it to make a dream of me come through
I'm lucky because my mom has an aunt in canada Toronto, so... I will move to Toronto when I'm 17 and then I will take theatre school and then move to LA :)
I live in Dubai it is not a small city in fact it is a major world tourist attraction but there is not much movie production here and also (I don't know to speak Arabic).
@actingcareercenter such an informative video I’ve been doing a lot of research and plan to move to Atlanta America from the south coast of England I’m an up and coming actor putting together a film reel and already have various experience in theatre and screen! It’s a long shot but would love to get in touch and we could talk about the way forward and see how I manage to become an actor in the US tv and film
I agree with your points that one should learn first but Marvel's too cast fresher who have little experience. I saw the interview of Ms Marvel protagonist and she randomly came through open casting call and got selected. Could you please share your thoughts on this?
I live in the Bronx and Manhattan is a stones throw from me. I’m surprised to say I’ve gotten jobs in New Jersey as well.. seems Brooklyn is a hot spot now for jobs. But I think both LA & New York are ..& always has been the hot spots always
I am unfamilar with zoom classes. I am used to doing classes in realy classes in theater and acting small roles. I been out of the loop. So i sm interested in a zoom acting classes.
I'm trying to become a film producer and television producer, but I think I can still answer this question. California, New York, Miami, and New Orleans. I live in Fort Lauderdale and I asked a man who I went to middle school with can he play the leading male actor in my project and he wasn't interested at all. So I traveled from Fort Lauderdale to California and notice that those people were more interested in acting than the people in Florida. But I notice there are no movies filmed in Fort Lauderdale and celebrities don't come to Fort Lauderdale only Miami
I feel very grateful to only live about 2 hours from LA, but I’m scared as soon as i’m out of high school and ready to try to start this career there is going to be way too much competition right from the start
Yo my man you super smart I love the way you are able to talk and explain things for people who have a 78 iq ,and they can still understand! Thank you for all the tips on the start for my career see you on the red carpet:) -G-Geno
I noticed many colleges and universities will let you volunteer for plays even if you arent an Acting/Theatre major. And luckily, theres a community college 30 mins from me that does have a theatre major and plays to act in. And also, 30 mins in the other direction is a bigger city with some minor to mid level opportunities.
QUESTIONS: Is Dallas a good production place? That's where I currently live. What do you think about Dallas Film productions. If not what city is close to Dallas for film production. Please let me know. Thanks!
Wrote a couple scripts at a small town theater. A 4 week script writing classes. Yes student filn is good i also did bhts mua production location manager. Any sugestion i would deeply appreciate. Thank you. I live in baja California close to san diegi 3 hour from los angeles.
I am from India. Though we have bollywood here but I want to join Hollywood. I will try to come to USA for my graduation next year. I will work there and then will start getting into acting field. I will be refining my skills while doing graduation. Hope one day I will be among the A listers. And will be talking about this comment and what help people like Kurt give for free. ❤️
If I'm from Italy I would love to move there and getting an agent there. I've been in the US three times in three major cities just for vacations, but I don't really know where to start
I have no acting experience and am currently Active Duty Marine Corps. My goal is to earn my bachelors in drama/acting while I'm in and get as much local experience as I can since I'll be in North Carolina for 3 years (minus deployments). For now, I'm not sure what the future may hold, so I'm signing up for MasterClass unlimited access and starting with Natalie Portman's acting class.
From what I've heard most auditions in Atlanta for film and television are for very minor roles. All major roles are still cast in LA for productions done out in Atlanta.
I don't know what you consider a "very minor role". Priah Ferguson is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 21 episodes of Stranger Things. Owen Morgan is an Atlanta actor who appeared in 20 episodes of Cobra Kai. Dani Deete is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 6 episodes of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Victoria Blade is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 5 episodes of Wanda Vision. Jayson Warner Smith is an Atlanta actor who appeared in 8 episodes of The Walking Dead. These are major roles in major shows. And they are just a few out of many many examples.
I heard a similar thing. Maybe they get the big names from LA but most casting locally. Makes sense from a financial standpoint. Don’t have to pay to room and board the actors
I was wondering if you'd do an updated version of this topic for 2025! Do you feel like your answers to this question of where actors should live has changed at all in the last 4 years?
I started my acting career in comedy and improv in Minneapolis, MN and plan to go nearby in Chicago, IL. Home of the @cubs ⚾️💙❤️ and John Hughes movies 🍿🎬 and it is still the Midwest so yea, makes too much sense. 😂 8:18
Hi! Thank you for a great video full of a lot of information. I’m an actress planning to move to a new city (preferably LA or ATL) to pursue my career. Would you recommend looking for an agent before or after I move?
I'm from Malaysia. besides, I'm a teenager. As a matter of fact that i just taking self-practice at home. i just learn how to act as an outstanding character. you know? i wanna to be an actor in the future. however, I don't even know am I have this kind of talent to work on this career. I afraid that i don't have capability to be a successful actor. Therefore, for able to accomplish my dream, i just train at home and communicate to myself. the most ridiculously, my parents didn't even know I've been doing this kind of clumsy affair during my spare time. perhaps seem like Michelle Yeoh.
Omg i live in Mississippi which is not far from Atlanta. I do have numerous amout of off days. Its a i wanna move to atlanta but I don't want to move. I'm so torn
As someone who lives in Europe but wants to be an actress in America do you think it would be helpful if I do some movies and shows in my country and then move to the US when I am old enough?
im from Philipines and im about to take acting classes in about a month, i wanted to pursue my acting career in London but im 13 and i dont know if i could make it someday, im just so confused if i should pursue my acting career since my parents doesnt seem to support me when it comes into acting.

I live in Dallas, Texas and I’ve been in 2 commercials for a regional restaurant. I just got picked up by an agency as a new talent as well. I will be enrolling in acting classes soon. What a ride...
How is the market there?? Been debating on moving to LA for awhile now. Actually lined up a job but it requires the jab and with gas at $7 a gallon and easily $1500 a month rent is going to be tough to do side acting pursuits.

There's work in Florida, but it's not as good as the top 3. Hopefully one day Florida Politicians will stop shooting Florida in the foot for film & television.
Yeah I’m in Florida and the main things they have here are commercials. It’s a lot of Disney opportunities. But Atlanta is better for film.
It’s so great that acting centres are expanding outside of the usual of LA, New York and London. Opens up opportunities for so many.
I was born and have a reliable day job in LA so it wouldn't make sense for me to move to Atlanta for my acting career although it is cheaper cost of living in ATL. That being said, there's so much opportunity here to get work for both big and small independent/student films! So glad I'm here to get this new career going (yes, I still have my day job).
I'm based out of Houston and there are plenty of opportunities here especially if you're willing to travel to Austin frequently.

Can you please make a video outside USA PLEASE !! Like Australia Canada etc, cause USA is kinda hard to get in
I'm in New York.👍🏾
If I'm from Italy I would love to move there and getting an agent there. I've been in the US three times in three major cities just for vacations, but I don't really know where to start
Very informative
I have no acting experience and am currently Active Duty Marine Corps. My goal is to earn my bachelors in drama/acting while I'm in and get as much local experience as I can since I'll be in North Carolina for 3 years (minus deployments). For now, I'm not sure what the future may hold, so I'm signing up for MasterClass unlimited access and starting with Natalie Portman's acting class.
Do you want to connect? I’m a veteran of active duty Army and currently pursuing acting in Atlanta
I keep trying hard 👍🙏🙏❤️
I can’t do much I live In Louisiana and I’m young
From what I've heard most auditions in Atlanta for film and television are for very minor roles. All major roles are still cast in LA for productions done out in Atlanta.
I don't know what you consider a "very minor role". Priah Ferguson is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 21 episodes of Stranger Things. Owen Morgan is an Atlanta actor who appeared in 20 episodes of Cobra Kai. Dani Deete is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 6 episodes of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Victoria Blade is an Atlanta actress who appeared in 5 episodes of Wanda Vision. Jayson Warner Smith is an Atlanta actor who appeared in 8 episodes of The Walking Dead. These are major roles in major shows. And they are just a few out of many many examples.
@@ActingCareerCenter Then I guess what I’ve been hearing from South Florida actors is incorrect. Thanks for correcting and clearing that up.
I heard a similar thing. Maybe they get the big names from LA but most casting locally. Makes sense from a financial standpoint. Don’t have to pay to room and board the actors
Is it the same case in NYC?
I was wondering if you'd do an updated version of this topic for 2025! Do you feel like your answers to this question of where actors should live has changed at all in the last 4 years?
I started my acting career in comedy and improv in Minneapolis, MN and plan to go nearby in Chicago, IL. Home of the @cubs ⚾️💙❤️ and John Hughes movies 🍿🎬 and it is still the Midwest so yea, makes too much sense. 😂 8:18
Hey I'm in Minneapolis do u know acting classes that is affordable coz I'm new in Minnesota
Hello! I am very close to New York. The problem is, I seem to notice that they don't have many tv/film opportunities for my age. My age range is 9-14.
Hi! Thank you for a great video full of a lot of information. I’m an actress planning to move to a new city (preferably LA or ATL) to pursue my career. Would you recommend looking for an agent before or after I move?
I'm from Malaysia. besides, I'm a teenager. As a matter of fact that i just taking self-practice at home. i just learn how to act as an outstanding character. you know? i wanna to be an actor in the future. however, I don't even know am I have this kind of talent to work on this career. I afraid that i don't have capability to be a successful actor. Therefore, for able to accomplish my dream, i just train at home and communicate to myself. the most ridiculously, my parents didn't even know I've been doing this kind of clumsy affair during my spare time. perhaps seem like Michelle Yeoh.
Omg i live in Mississippi which is not far from Atlanta. I do have numerous amout of off days. Its a i wanna move to atlanta but I don't want to move. I'm so torn
Is Las Vegas a good city with a reputation for acting, or would be moving to Las Angeles be better..
As someone who lives in Europe but wants to be an actress in America do you think it would be helpful if I do some movies and shows in my country and then move to the US when I am old enough?
