There are acting opportunities in just about every city in the world. I'm an American who lives and works in Munich. When I decided that Germany was probably going to be the place I spent the rest of my life, I had another decision to make - either give up on my dreams or find a way to achieve them here. I don't believe in "can't do". I believe everything is possible - you just have to ask "how can I do it?" - BTW, I came for love, not my career, but I've managed to make both work even though I had to start all over again from scratch. Plus, most of you are starting out in a completely new era. You have things available to you that I never had - a film studio in your pocket for one - which means you can also create your own work that you can then use to send to agents, casting directors, producers, etc., in a bigger market to let them know you're alive. Also, since Corona, the industry has changed immensely. The first round of just about all auditions is a self tape.

I'm very surprised you didn't mention your closest neighbour, Canada. I live in Toronto and audition (and shoot) regularly both for Canadian and American productions. Not because I have an American agent - I don't - but because Toronto is called Hollywood North for a reason. A LOT of American television and films are shot here. I'd say in Canada, at least, Toronto or Vancouver (overlooking the exorbitant costs of living in either) are not far behind American cities like LA, New York or Atlanta. I wouldn't put them on par - I average 40 to 60 auditions a year, unlike the 100 Kurt got in his first year. Just saying, there are legit Hollywood alternatives to the US.

In my opinion, if someone is relocating to a new city, they shouldn't base their decision entirely on their acting career. It's extremely important to have a great life outside of acting. So a big part of your decision (maybe even the majority of your decision) should be based on your lifestyle and what you want out of the city that you are living in. In the US, Los Angeles, New York City, and Atlanta all offer great opportunities for actors, but they are very different in terms of what each city has to offer. Do as much research as you can and ask yourself which city you would most enjoy LIVING in not just ACTING in. Also, don't look past London. It's one of the best cities in the world to pursue an acting career.

Hi Kurt 👋🏻. I want to move to Atlanta next month. Do you have any recommendations on more affordable and safe areas in Atlanta to move to? Specially for pursuing acting. Thank you!

1. Most places close to downtown are going to be expensive. The further you go away from the city, the more affordable it is. I live near The Battery which is where the Atlanta Braves Stadium is. It's far enough from the city to be relatively affordable and close enought to still be a convenient drive to most parts of the city. Other potential options are Vinings, Norcross, Decatur, Doraville, North Druid Hills. Many potential options. 2. There's no perfect spot for pursuing acting since 90% of auditions in Atlanta are self taped (even before the pandemic). I know actors who live in every corner of the city. If you have more questions about ATL, don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to answer the best I can. Or if you prefer to ask 1:1, you can book a Zoom consultation here: form.jotform.com/203157276256154
