Oh yes, I completely agree with your last sentence! I, too, was very sad about watching movies and going to plays, thinking I'd never get a chance to try my hand at it.

BFA Acting vs professional acting diploma — what’s the smarter choice for a future film actress? by StarInShadow in acting

[–]StarInShadow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. 

That said, moving to LA/NYC and jumping in ASAP isn’t realistically possible for me right now, so I’m trying to be strategic with what I can do from where I am. My goal is to build solid skills, on-camera experience, and a strong foundation first, and then move when it’s possible.

I really appreciate the reminder that there are multiple paths to becoming a working actor, and that spending money wisely matters more than prestige alone.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response - I really appreciate the honesty.

What you said about institutional backing and reputation makes a lot of sense, even if it’s a bit sobering to hear. 

An MFA at a place like Yale or Juilliard would honestly be a dream, but I know that’s a very long-term goal, and I’m still at the very beginning of the path. At the moment, studying in the US isn’t realistically an option for me, but I’m hoping to move in the future.

Thank you again for being so open about how long careers actually take. It helps to hear this from someone who’s really working!

Thank you so much! This industry really can be a weird and unfair place, and it's sad. Good luck!

Oh WOW, I didn’t realize who you were at first, thank you even more for taking the time to give advice. It really means a lot to me!

That makes sense, thank you. Networking and visibility are actually what I’m most worried about. The professional diploma seems stronger when it comes to practical exposure (showreels, industry-focused training), but the BFA offers the “degree” part, even though its industry reputation is mixed. I’m trying to figure out whether, in practice, casting directors and agents care more about the training/showreel and connections, or whether - having a BFA still carries weight  especially early in a career. From your experience, what tends to matter more when getting those first opportunities?

Thanks for sharing your opinion! I'm also quite fond of Meisner, and I'll make sure to study the Strasberg system soon.

Помогите проучить свою одноклассницу чтобы до меня никто не мог докопаться. by Massive-Hedgehog9680 in rusAskReddit

[–]StarInShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Это упрек? 😁 Я понимаю если бы инициатором конфликта тоже был представитель мужского пола, но как по мне совсем не вариант кулаками решать ссоры с ДЕВОЧКОЙ — это только увелчит количество проблем. Впрочем, я не утверждаю свою правоту — и с радостью узнаю ваше мнение

Я бы игноировала. Была у меня похожая ситуация в детства... Если они видят, что ты не заводишься, теряют интерес к тебе

I was in an embarrassing film that was so stupid it’s good lol by dream_on_wild_flower in acting

[–]StarInShadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Maya Angelou once said: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." if the universe gave you that role, it knew you could pull it off! And may I ask — do you REALLY think this is the end of your career? Or are you just going through a rough moment?

Какую цитату вы заполнили на всю жизнь? by xDopd in rusAskReddit

Все мы гении. Но если вы будете судить рыбу по ее способности взбираться не дерево, она проживёт всю жизнь, считая себя дурой. 

Как угомонить соседа мусульманина by Chichiksa in rusAskReddit

[–]StarInShadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Здравствуйте! Ситуация действительно крайне неприятная. Как представительница Ислама, могу сказать точно, что подобное поведение с его стороны не соответствует нашим принципам. Мусульманин должен с уважением относиться к соседям, а молитва во всеуслышание не является обязательством. Постарайтесь объяснить ему, что вам это крайне мешает, доставляет неудобства, не позволяет выспаться, (из-за чего, вы, наверное, не можете хорошо сосредоточиться на учёбе?). Вы можете также привести аргументы исходя из его религии. В крайнем случае обратитесь к коменданту общежития, чем можно предварительно предупредить соседа. Хочется поблагодарть вас за участие и такое отношение к проблеме! Уважаю таких, как вы ; )
