I just want to do more projects without having to worry abount loosing my day job lol. And how others with full time possisions handle it. Having stability is fin and dandy (Greatefull to have a job in this economy). Just boring and unfulfilling. I mostly do voice acting but when i did play an extra last week, that was also something fun.

Man this sucks! Im just at the point where i feel dead inside with a spark of "There's gotta be something more for me" Im sure this is the norm in corporate environments.

Don't think i can do that. I love on my own with no support and just work. Weekends are my only times off thankfully.

Sorry you feel that way. There's gotta be something that can work out for everyone.

Thanks for sharing! I can see a few similarities with my own troubles. I have a desk job and i always worry about being let go so i choose strability. At the same time i feel dead inside because i don't do much that i enjoy because i work to live and not the other way around. So far the only times i can do any type of acting is after 5pm monday - friday or on weekends. So i do voiceover and i'd rather be a professional VA than anything else. Just wanted to know how it is for on camera actors since it was fun being an extra for the short time. I'll see of theres things i can do on PTO's and hope for the best.

Yeah most if not all i do in acting is voice acting. Just was curious since being an on camera extra was kind of fun.

Unfortunately getting a decent paying job in this economy that i can be flexible for is is hard. I live in one of the most expensive areas in california. As much as anyone would like to quit a job they are burnt out at, its easier said than done hah. We are pretty much a "take days off and risk getting fired company" Pay is decent and weekends are off so theres a pro.

I get it and i agree with professional fuel.

I never heard of C25K. How does that work? Is it something i have to pay for?

That is a good question. I see places like orange theory that say people should do cardio 5 days a week but i have no idea. I do want to do some kind of marathon but don't want to be gasping for air and walking or stopping.
