From Frank, FL

I live in Atlanta but am interested in attending an acting school in New York so I can show that I have some experience on my resume. They seem to be very expensive. Do you have any recommendations?

Dear Frank:

Having job experience is even more important then the schools you list on your resume. If you want to find schools in NY, just contact Back Stage (http://www.backstage.com/backstage/index.jsp), or write to them at, backstage.com or call (800) 634-6810, and find out when they have their special school issue. Backstage is a very helpful acting publication. It will list many New York acting schools. Then it will be up to you to visit and interview with the schools.

In the meantime, I would continue to work at trying to get as much experience as possible in the Atlanta area.

If you thought this was helpful, imagine how much you will learn from reading "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model." and by attending my Acting/Modeling Boot Camp.
