Is a career as a paralegal a good day job for actors?
Hi! I recently just graduated from NYU Tisch and have my B.F.A in Drama. After graduating, I decided to move back home and focus on building a solid foundation for my acting career. Part of being an actor is finding a good day job and I am tired of working in restaurants, so I did some research on obtaining a Paralegal certificate. From my research, I found that becoming a paralegal can provide great financial stability which is something that is very important however, I'm not sure if I would be able to balance being a paralegal and an actor. I would really like some advice if this is a good career path and if not could you some great day jobs for actors.

I met an awesome Voice actor, Lizzie freeman (TADC, jojo's bizzare adventure, etc...), and she inspired me to be a voice actor. I'm planning to take chorus to help my voice, but she recommends having a bigger 'job palette' by being an actor. What should I do?

I am (15) already in acting classes, and do a bit of work in the film industry in my country, but am yet to find an agent. I am very aware of the hardships and unlikelihood of me being successful but I still want to try. I know I might have a chance if u get an agent in the US but not many accept international clients.

Would I be able to use my senior pictures as acting headshots?
I'm a low-income student in Los Angeles, who wants to pursue acting. I'm an incoming senior in high school, and I can't afford getting professional headshots. I'm planning on taking at-home headshots sometime in the next few months, but after receiving my senior pictures back, I saw a few that looked like they'd also work for acting headshots, in the meantime. Would it be too unprofessional to use them right now, before I can get better ones taken?
Los AngelesHow can I put my foot in the door acting in LA if I come from a low-income household?
I'm a 17yo who's turning 18 in September. I really want to start film/tv acting, but I don't have a lot of money to get headshots, lessons, etc. I'm going to be doing intermediate theatre this year (senior year), and I have prior experience doing acting classes in/out of school in the past. I look younger than I am (would do very well at 18tpy) but my biggest hurdle is just...starting. I can't afford $500 headshots, and even the $300/month classes are a huge burden.
