do u think starting an acting career in new york would be better than Los Angeles?

With all due respect, your mindset is based purely on stereotypes. It depends on what you want to pursue in. LA specializes in on-camera projects such as film, TV, and commercials. NY specializes in theater. However, if you want to pursue in both, choose the one you are more passionate about and move to the according location. There are projects of either kind in both places, but it is important to remember they are two separate worlds with different training, methods, and representation. You are going to have to deal with egotistical people everywhere you go, whether you want to be in film, theater, or insurance sales. LA may seem like all about the glamour with all of the reality shows and everything, but it is as tough and talent-based as NY. You will also have to work yourself up from the bottom in either place, serving as a rebuttal to many people's visions that LA's all about the movie star crowd and NY's all about Broadway. As long as you love what you are doing and are genuine, people will notice that and you will be able to survive the egomaniacs and meet some really great people. This applies to wherever you go.

P.S.: You'll find that the money is pretty important if you want to pay off your expenses. But don't let that become your single driving force. Good luck!

L.A. is going to be the better choice simply because it's pretty much the mecca. Everyone relocates to L.A., even those who are living in or are originally from NY.

You might not like the environment but the reality is, if you're serious about acting, L.A. is going to be your destination. If you can't get past trivial matters such it being a glamorous place and where everyone there has the same dream, how can you realistically expect to pursue acting?

The coast means little if you can't move past bullshit excuses like the ones you've explained. Get real and suck it up. Go to L.A. or don't have a career, your choice.

It relies. If you're interested within the level (also referred to as the legit theater), then it can be excellent to take a look at your success in New York. If you're eager about appearing in films and tv, then coming to LA could also be your excellent guess. You will have to be mindful that it is rather tough to make it as a reliable actor. Many folks attempt to pursue this profession, however only a few are victorious. Many folks that experience a university measure in theater arts finish up educating drama in top tuition.

may be because new york is a top city and a well known city for acting and acting agencies that's why many preferred that New York is the best place to start your acting career.

The general rule of thumb is that LA is for Screen, NY is for theater.

Any actor who says they aren't looking for money is a moron. Be honest with yourself. Why would you bother pursuing a career in anything if you weren't getting paid for it? That's retarded.

I wouldn't pursue a career in brain surgery if I didn't want the huge pay cheque that comes with it!

Stop kidding yourself.

If you want to act for theatre then NY yes.... if u want to act for tv and film then L.A
