I'm in NYC. For years one of my co-workers had acting as his moonlight. I'd always tape his auditions that he sent in. I'd always be the voice of the other dialoguing
There are a zillion shoots here under the radar. Most of his work were independents. There are alot of wealthy kids who do these projects basically because they can. This guy would have a gig every 2 or 3 weeks and that's only being available weekends
I guess I'd say follow the largest volume of shooting

@Thrust Follow the largest volume of shooting? Implying I relocate? I can't afford to move if that's what you meant. Also I submit for all over the place anyways on backstage and AA (actors access), not one that fits my look, type, age has ever gotten back to me. This isn't a reflection of lack of skill btw, because I don't even get the opportunity to audition since my submissions are always sent off into the void....You just answered it though, a lot of privileged rich kids who probably just pick their friends, really good looking women, well connected people to do their projects. Everyone else is just a salt dust in a vast ocean I guess. What makes this frustrating is that it's like this for even the lowest of the low budget projects, this school of thought has even bled over to student films. It's just all warped, the whole entire acting industry, to the highest level to the lowest

Maybe go for further gigs even if they don't pay well for the effort it's experience and consider it an investment in yourself the more exposure you get in acting the more people know you for your work so..
Another thing is some actors change their names to be more user friendly and easier to remember.. you might need a new stage name?
