I Am Scared

I have been applying to random places because I really need a job. Whenever I get a phone call from a stranger, I am always wishing it is a talent agency that saw me somewhere magically that would give me an acting job. I hate living with my parents and having to take jobs I don't care about just to make money. I want to move away to a place where I can get auditions. The problem is that everywhere is expensive to live. I want my luck to change. I keep thinking about the movie La La Land in how the character of Mia moved to Hollywood to get a jumpstart in her acting career. Even if she was unsuccessful, she still made a big step to do that. That's better than me. I have told my parents how I feel but they think acting is a pipe dream. They aren't exactly encouraging me to spread my wings. I feel like my only option is to run away from home and go after my dreams but I know it would break my mom's heart but I feel like I have to think of myself too. I am just scared that I will never get to where I want to go. It's one thing for me not to get parts after auditioning but to not even audition because I live in an area where there are no opportunities? That hurts me more. People have told me to just go but it's not easy when you can't afford anything. I need a miracle money machine.

Do you have any relatives to stay with in better areas for work? Are there any amateur troops nearby you could work with whilst holding another job down. Not many people go straight into acting with out a struggle.

I have a grandfather living in New York but he would never let me stay with him because his wife doesn't like me or my family.

I wish you good luck with achieving your dream! Acting is fun, I love it too :)
