Are you thinking about moving to Atlanta for your acting career?

[@dollfaice3259]

Yeah I literally just moved here, been here a month now. Your video is super encouraging to me, and you are preaching the truth about L.A. I just moved from L.A. after living there for 6 years. Rent is higher and you can forget about buying a house unless you are already a millionare. Great video!!!

I can honestly say this video is the best video coming across acting that I’ve seen in a while. I was dead set on moving to LA to pursue my dream, but looks like ATL is the best stop to go to right now.

[@ActingCareerCenter]

I truly believe ATL Is the best place to start an acting career. You can always move to LA later, but it's just easier to get the ball rolling in ATL than in LA.

[@Soccercrazyigboman]

@@ActingCareerCenter Atlanta or Chicago for people just starting? I do like that Chicago is a bigger city but ultimately my main goal is getting the ball rolling. Especially in film stuff

[@YourBoyN8]

Seriously - thank you for making this video. I found your channel a few days ago after getting serious about moving to a different state in the next year or so to pursue acting. I was nearly dead set on LA, but was also very hesitant about making that big of a move. This video helped a ton - as have many of your other videos. I had no idea the industry was as big as it is in Atlanta, and the possibilities have me very excited. The idea of having a welcoming community who wants everyone to thrive in the industry also sounds fantastic - as does the (much lower than LA) cost of living. Thank you again, these videos really do mean a lot and have taught me a ton.

[@AwaisKhan-uw8uv]

Hey Kurt! Been following your channel for quite some time now. Me living in a third world country with dreams of coming to America and breaking into the industry one day, I had no actual knowledge of how I would go about doing that. But thanks to you, I feel like I now know at least the basics of what I will have to encounter and will have to get done if I ever move to the States one day. Again, I'd just like to say thank you! You're doing an awesome job on educating people about this business. May you prosper more.

[@kylewagner2004]

Kurt, thank you soooo much. I honestly didn't know where to go to grow an acting career, I was one of those guy's who wanted to move to LA. But this video helped me so much.

I have recently discovered your channel & love your videos! Your advice always hits the mark. I've been an actor for decades & recently moved to Atlanta from LA & was pleased to hear what you had to say about the acting opportunities here. I had been under the impression that, although many projects are shot here, that they were still cast in LA, so I feel encouraged. Keep up the good work!

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Fantastic! Thanks for watching and welcome to Atlanta!

[@KasseeRheanne]

I knew you looked familiar! You were on Insatiable! My mom and I just watched that and loved it. Anyway, thank you for this. I decided to start acting when I graduated high school a couple years ago and I was dead set on LA. I packed up all of my things two weeks ago and set out l, but my the time I got there something in my gut was telling me it wasn't right. I came back home discouraged after only being there for a day. Since then my mom has been researching Atlanta and sending me lots of videos on it like this one. I really feel like it is the best place for me. I'm so excited. This is the most informative video I've seen. I feel so sure about this decision now.

[@actorpoet53]

Thank you Kurt. This is timely advice. One of my acting buddies just moved there and I'm seriously considering following suit. (I actually lived and worked there as a federal gov't employee in 1980! Aging myself I know, which is even more reason for me to get moving sooner than later.) And Kurt, haha, I got you beat..earlier this year at the young age of 67, I took my 1st acting class. 😅 My inspiration comes from a former roommate and friend who didn't get into acting till he was 60 years old, starred in many major motion pictures and even ended up teaching acting in LA. George Randall was his name..he passed away in 2019 at 95.

[@JoeFunk]

This video is fantastic, Kurt!! Thank you for putting out so much great material here. I've worked as an headshot photographer for actors in LA for the past 7 years. I moved to Atlanta to open my main studio last year and I can say that this information is spot on! If you're looking to break into acting, Atlanta is the place to be right now. It's not nearly as saturated as LA and you'll have great opportunities to sign with quality agents and start booking roles. I've had several actor friends move here and their careers have taken off! Anyways, thanks for all the helpful info and keep up the great work!

[@JoeFunk]

Oh, I also have to comment that you're totally correct about supportive and welcoming the film/acting community is in Atlanta! Very different from my personal experience in LA. Atlanta might not be for everybody but it's been a perfect fit for me!

The cost of living is definitely less than LA; allowing our family to rent a 3 bedroom house for under $1000 per month. The best thing about being in Atlanta is the uniquely amazing and supportive community of artists we have here. ♥️

I used to audition for commercials every week when I was non-union but since I joined SAG-AFTRA, I'm probably going in about once a month. That's just my experience though, other actors could be going in quite a bit more.

Great video. New subscriber! I've been considering ATL for a while. I've been acting in NYC for 5 years and I've been auditioning about 8-12 times a week for a variety of production types. My only concern about ATL is the lack of demand of local actors of color in lead roles(outside of Tyler Perry Prd) in comparison to NYC. Of course this is an outside perspective and I could be totally wrong about this. That being said many of my dream shows/role types are in ATL. 🤔. Also cost of living is way less than NYC. Thank you for sharing your audition numbers. That's really inspiring.
