My experience in acting consists of seventeen roles in as many short/feature length indie films over about a four year span. I've never taken a real acting class. I do better on screen than people who have taken classes although that doesn't mean I think I'm too good for them. I don't take them because frankly there's nothing I consider to be worthwhile around my area anyway, and when going to a big city, they probably won't even care about that training from someone they never heard of. I have told people that i consider the many many days spent stoned when i was younger goofing around with my friends who were comedy nuts to be my "improv" training if you will because technically, that's what it always ended up being -- us improving...Stoned.

So right now I'm looking to step up the game. I think i have enough experience under my belt to move on. I'm completely comfortable at cold reads, on set, interacting with hot strangers of the opposite sex in front of the camera, nothing daunts me in those aspects. I'm about 2 hours from Philly and NYC. I don't have my own website or demo reel but I can easily make them. I have head shots I've had done for free from modeling that look decent but admittedly I would like to get something better. There's a talent agency near me I was thinking of submitting to as my friend has got some industrials and local commercials booked through there. These are just some of the things that have crossed my mind.

Looking forward to your advice.
