aww boohoo :(((

haha lazy faggot

Acting is a meme profession.

You saved yourself from a lot of poverty and suffering op.

just write if that's what you want to do

Charles Bronson didn't start acting until his 30s

I just want to see if I am as good at it as I am in my head.

For some reason I feel like I would be an excellent actor. I act out fake scenes in my head all the time like an autist. I'm actually an autist.

After I got a couple positive reviews I would probably get bored and never do it again. That's how my brain works.

Thanks for reading my blog.

I was like you until 2013 or so, but then I decided to join tumblrines and gays and it was a great decision. Think about it, you will always be the token straight guy since gays can't play straight people.

I feel like Evan Peters/Wes Bentley in AHS

>mfw dumb asses think they can make a living acting

I have an asian friend with the same deal. He was a cop and saved up money to do acting. He's in Chicago PD.

no shit? Because thats what I wanted to do.
Hows it working for him?

im already a cop

HAHAHAHAHA

me too

Your not going to be good until you practice at it.
Natural talent doesn't make you good on day 1.

Actors aren't good until they're mid 30s anyway.

However if you don't start it won't matter. Just start now.

Ehh he's happy with it, they aren't prominent roles or anything but it's cool. He's pursuing his dream.

I'm an autist. Every day I interact with people, I'm acting. In that sense, I've been practicing my entire life.

I'm full of shit though and you're probably right.

Problem is, wouldn't I have to move to Jew York or Commiefornia to even begin to find a role? I mean I'm not expecting to be cast as the lead in a major motion picture on day one, but even still I don't think I'm going to become an actor while living in Cleveland unless I'm doing stage acting which sounds boring as fuck to me but in reality is probably a good place to start.

There's only one way to act and not be dirt poor and it rhymes with hay torn.

this

also maybe Acting is an easy way to end up broke and nothing to show for it. Learn a skill or trade. Camera work, editing, hell even catering or cooking and get work on a set. then work your way around from there. Ive always found that "acting is an art" thing is a scam. Sure you can master it and learn how to put on a good performance but all you have to do is learn to bullshit and make pretend, and some dont even get that and still find work

has he been in anything bog or just back round roles?
Does he get any shit for being a cop around some liberal hollywood pussies?

>tfw outgoing and into theater in high school and college
>had a large group of friends
>dropped out because I was a lazy faggot who was too busy getting stoned to study
>moved across the country
>now I'm a lonely alcoholic with a dead-end job who spends his free-time shitposting and jacking off to Italian porn movies
Oh well, could be worse I guess

has your friend fucked anyone?

>has he been in anything bog or just back round roles?
Background roles, he worked in a kickstarter movie recently as a secondary character.
>Does he get any shit for being a cop around some liberal hollywood pussies
No, they actually like that he has real life experience and consult with him about cops stuff.

His wife.

pics of the wife?

how much of an acting/theater/movie scene is their in chicago? Or does he have to travel for it?
I live in the midwest and cant move to LA or NYC for a few years and Id really rather not at all

>Cred Forums - Television & Film

>tfw I want to be a filmmaker
>Which also require charisma and confidence to pursue

FUCK ME AND MY FEEBLE MIND

Are you sure he's not just acting like a cop?

Now that you mention it...

>how much of an acting/theater/movie scene is their in chicago?
A few NBC shows flim there and there are some indie projects, so not a big scene.
>Or does he have to travel for it?
He occasionally flies out to LA and Georgia.
>I live in the midwest and cant move to LA or NYC for a few years and Id really rather not
Unless you're serious about acting don't.

why not? different user here but I already live in CA, thought about getting closer to Hwood or the area

>want to write
>think I have good ideas
>am a white Anglo male
>not really liberal

I honestly would have no chance. I just gave up. I am writing a book that I am going to publish anonymously

>tfw I wanted to be a film maker
>all classes at my school are "history of film" "people of color in film" or "women in film"
>not a single one that actually teaches me anything
>cant afford to go to a film school
>might switch majors and fuck around with filming as a hobby and see what happens

Don't publish anonymously, use a penname that sounds ambiguously ethnic, and could be either male or female.

Acting literally gets judged 90+ % on the looks of the actor and quality of the script. The rest is faggot pseud critics making shit up.

Also shitty sound (not an issue on actual professional stuff but on YouTube it is) kills everything stone dead.

Is "Sue Doe-Nym" too pretentious?

>Used to be a shy introverted autist
>Got placed in drama 1 my sophomore year
>Was terrified at first because I had to go in front of people and basically humiliate myself
>Over time I started to get over my shyness
>Fast forward to my senior year
>I am no longer a shy autist
>Have been in numerous shows and drama club is my family
>Even got to write and direct my own show senior year
>Now have lots of friends and even managed to get a long-term GF in HS

Theater changed my life, OP. You should consider taking it in college or maybe doing community theater, if your town has that.

If you're trying to be a writer, nothing is ever too pretentious.

You already live close enough to commute, user does not. Not worth it.

Keep an eye out for that name

what a faggot

Both of you, just join an amateur theater group

>not a single one that actually teaches me anything
Good, everything you need to know you can learn for free online
Film school is only useful for building contacts

Ed O'Neil worked in a steel mill in his twenties so he could pay to go to college and study acting

You missed the boat, OP, but hey...maybe you can still do set construction or something.

Do some community theater, or join a community group/class. People in school are mostly fags and women, but a community group will probably have people like you in it.

I'm sorry you have autism, user.

>want to enter a profession that is 100% interacting with other people and displaying emotions and 99% nepotism and networking
>too shy and awkward

It's best that your dream died.

I'm a stuttering autist and I went to acting school a couple of times.

Grow some balls because there's no afterlife and if you don't get what you want in this life then you never will.
