How do I enter the entertainment industry through hard work and talent?
I want to become a director of some sort of entertainment media but I often get the sense that to even get an opportunity you have to be well connected to powerful or influential people. I know talent isn't always the most important factor to getting noticed, but, is there a way to become a leader in the entertainment industry through self made opportunities? If so, what are the most effective steps to take?

How to become a working actor? And how to get an agent
Since 2022 I have been taking acting classes and I am looking forward to continue taking them in 2025. I have profiles on Backstage, Actors Access and check Playbill everyday. I booked some jobs there. I know that getting an agent doesn't guarantee getting acting jobs right away, and that this career path requires a lot of patience. I feel ready to find a show-biz partner to work with, but I don't know how. Would acting showcases be a great option? Or submit on their websites? I saw several actors being able to book job without the need of an agent, is it through the casting websites that they do that? Or networking?

How Can I Improve my YouTube Channel?
I know this isn't related to actual jobs made by employers since this is more of a freelance thing, but I think it's best if I ask anyway and see if anyone has any useful information. I run a YouTube channel called MGLR, and I've been wanting to improve on my channel to make sure I can make the most out of my content. However, because of certain issues, I can't really make any videos recently, so I'm not getting the growth that I need. I know the basics of running a YouTube channel and creating more gaming videos, such as: - Researching the YouTube algorithm - Studying what other, more popular YouTubers do and take inspiration from them - Studying the current trends and see if I can follow those gaming trends - Creating a consistent schedule to keep my viewers on my channel - I use OBS Studio to record my videos, Audacity/Reaper to record the voice/audio and make sure it sounds high-quality - I edit my videos with Shotcut for more basic edits, but I sometimes use DaVinci Resolve in case I need to make much more advanced edits - I use Photopea to create my thumbnails for free, and I've used techniques that others use to entice viewers to clicking - Reaching out to the community and keeping up to date on the reviews of my channel However, because of other complications, I sometimes won't be able to do these things. I'll do my best if I can somehow get it done, but the schedule is what I'm struggling with. But that's not what I'm asking as of right now. What I want to know is if there are any other techniques that I do not yet know of that I can use to improve my YouTube channel. If there are any, let me know. I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Logan X.
