10 Reasons you SHOULD Move to Los Angeles to be an Actor | What I love about being an Actor in LA

[@liftwithTB]

I’m from a small midwestern town called Rock island, Illinois and I have to travel for acting. I’ve gotten my start in Chicago (2 and half hours away) for acting classes and some small short films and extra roles, but I just feel that LA is the best location regardless for an acting career. You’re videos make me more and more excited about moving within the next few years !!!

[@TyraTheCreative]

I wish you the best Tavion!! Us small town folks have to cheer each other on!! 🥳✨

[@BreakBreadwithArthur]

Girl! What you don’t like?! lol As someone who’s recently moved here - she’s speaking straight facts! I’ve been booked for things in my short amount of time, I would’ve never gotten the opportunity for back home. Thank you for always sharing the truth!

[@TyraTheCreative]

Arthurrrrr!🥰 Thank you so much for watching! Congratulations on your bookings! What have you booked? Can you tell us or nah? 👀 And, that video is coming sooonnnn! 🥳

[@BreakBreadwithArthur]

@@TyraTheCreative one was a commercial job for online gaming. The other is pretty big that will air around super bowl time. Can’t say too much! Lol

[@notgreenfiona1093]

I’m moving to LA next year to pursue an action career, and girlll your videos are really helpful! ❤️ much love!

[@TyraTheCreative]

Ohhh you're gonna lovveee it!!! And thank you for tuning in!!! 🤗

[@intrin3t_3ncrypt3d]

did you move?!

[@daejarenee7829]

Thank you for this video!! I’ve been talking to some people in LA about moving there for acting, I even recently auditioned for the MFA program at USC for Acting (because I’m really interested in taking more classes for Film/Tv) and those people tell me how hard it is for POC and that it’s really a hustle but I know that I’m ready for it because acting has always been something I’ve done and my dream, I know LA will push me further in my career, especially with networking. So, thank you for the encouragement because some comments I’ve heard made me “second guess” if it’ll be good or not.

[@TyraTheCreative]

yes, but dont listen to the naysayers!! stay focused and do you! you got this! 🥰

[@nomanor7987]

You have to move to LA if you want to make the big times. Unfortunate but true.

[@TyraTheCreative]

for the most part! but, there are people who live elsewhere that still make it! so dont be discouraged !! 🥰

[@Nzingtha]

Such a great video! Look forward to the next one.

[@TyraTheCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@ryansutherland_]

love this video! thx for sharing:)

[@JusThaxPresents]

I truly appreciate your videos. To me, they are grounded, honest, and fun(light). Thank you. If I ever make it out there, I’d love to be in a skit. Lol

[@TyraTheCreative]

Thannkksss Justin that means a lot!! 🥰🥰 And lemme know when you're out here!

[@videodamatrice2702]

Hi, where should we live if we want to be close to the studios to work in the industry and still get the beach not to far like 20 MIN from the beach ?i am from the costume field.

[@kasiacaravello170]

i love your videos and they are so helpful!

[@TheAdeiraHunter]

I love your videos so much! They help me with all the inspiration I need for a move here. I’m currently waiting until I graduate college this semester with a BA in Music. I’m sure you’ve answered this before in your previous LA videos, but is there anything that you suggest an aspiring actor begin doing now before moving to LA?

[@TyraTheCreative]

ooooo, thats a great question! I think you should try to create your own projects to start your demo reel or atleast get some headshots if you can! These types of services are seriously inflated in Los Angeles, so if you can find good services back home, take advantage! I wish you luck!!

[@tiffine3362]

I'm moving in 2 months. What part of LA should I move to?

[@TyraTheCreative]

Congrats on your move! And it's so tough to say because it depends on what you're looking for, your price range, etc

[@tiffine3362]

@@TyraTheCreative What's the best area for actors? Networking, etc.

[@avante.__]

Hi I’m looking to move to LA as well, do you mind sharing what area is best for actors to move to. Thank you

[@hannahlopes6617]

your videos are so helpful!! do you think attending to a drama college (in LA) while trying to pursue a acting career could make it more difficult?

[@TyraTheCreative]

what do you mean more difficult? in what way??

[@TheDarkmaleX]

As a Louisiana resident, why didn't you just move to New Orleans instead of to NY/NJ?? Hollywood South has been going strong here since 2004. TONS of Hollywood movies have been shot here and continue to. Casting directors, agents and acting classes are here too. It's now secondary to ATL. You could have booked TV/Film roles easier here rather than Hollywood. Just wondering if you knew this.

[@k_serra1]

How do you get an agent?

[@actormorrisdsmall]

Great advice 🌠🌠🌠🌠

[@TyraTheCreative]

thank youuu!

[@sabrinaali5929]

You are truly inspiring! I was wondering if you can recommend some acting classes in Los Angeles. I am moving in the summer and it would be so helpful to me.

[@sabrinaali5929]

I would love to network with you I am from New York.

[@i.cbeauty2677]

Same here. I'm moving over to LA very soon to begin a career in acting. Also apart from acting classes I'd love some honest advice on living there too

[@samuelreed6519]

Is an acting degree a must have? I tried college but all I want to do is act. Perform. That’s a talent naturally given. Obviously you have to work on it. But do you NEED a degree to be seen? My agent I have had for 5+ years says I am more for Atlanta because I am not LA Model type actor.

[@TyraTheCreative]

no, you dont HAVE to have a degree to get cast!

[@maryj8701]

that really helped thank u, but what if I don’t have money to move to la I mean living in la is really expensive and I barley can pay my bills and rent where I live

[@TyraTheCreative]

you are right! so start where you are! do all you can RIGHT AT HOME! take a class, make your own projects, etc!

[@WrayneDropAnimates]

I’m a Louisianian and Im planning to move to California for the animation industry and maybe do some acting.

[@TyraTheCreative]

That's awesome!! Best of luck! :)

[@aniela4434]

Do you recommend any agencies for background/extra work?

[@TyraTheCreative]

Depends on where you live, but Backstage is great and Central Casting if you're in LA!

[@madihjorth8164]

My roommates and I wanted move from Boise to Los Angeles because we heard that LA is the entertainment industry (film/TV industry) for Hollywood. Yeah of course, LA is really expensive 😭❤️

[@TyraTheCreative]

it issss it isss, but there are so many opportunities to make money to fund your lifestyle!

[@Roxydaniels]

Gurlaaaaa! Whatchu don’t like?!?! 😆😂

[@Sun_flow_]

Gurlllll!!! Whacha don't like????😄😄

[@TyraTheCreative]

Ayyyeeee! that video is coming sooonnnn! 🥳 thank you so much for tuning in today! 🥰🥰

[@Sun_flow_]

Your so welcome! Your videos are helping and encouraged me to pursue my desire of becoming an actress.

[@efuller3333]

But now during the pandemic? 🤔

[@TyraTheCreative]

The film industry hasn’t stopped. Acting classes haven’t stopped.

[@efuller3333]

But how / in what ways is the pandemic impacting - life as it was before - in LA , within and outside the acting etc. sector. I appreciate / understand that tv , film are still being produced, crew and cast are still being hired , acting classes are still going on ( online and off depending on where one lives) , but so are covid infections , long covid effects and covid related unemployment and most sadly , death. A more in depth answer would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@maddox8909]

Great taste hun!! Do what the pros do = P R O M O S M !

[@Chloe_Titles]

But girl, what you don’t like tho 😆
