How To Move To Hollywood

Step-by-step Instructions

Here is what you need to do...
Step 1

You can get books from the different studios and acting schools in LA and New York. Look up on their websites and go to their required reading section and you can see the technique that they teach. And you can read those.

Step 2

Go to the library and you don't have to spend a dime. You can just go with your book card and take them out, read them and see what interests you, that way, when you get to an LA or New York, you kind of have it narrowed down and you can go and audit the classes, and you can see in person if that flame really kicks up for you or not.

Step 3

You can also do research if you have friends that live in LA. You could ask them, "Hey, where are good places to live? At what kind of places can I maybe get a job? What are the areas like?"

Step 4

Get used to the areas. Things like that, so when you do make the move, you are prepared. And in this city, its all about being flexible and being prepared at all times.

Step 5

So, when you are running around with your backpack or shoulder case, you have all your resumes, you have everything together, but you can't just move out here and have it ready. You have to plan. Those are things you could do before you get here. Because if you get here and you are doing those things, you are wasting your time.
