Alright, as you may know I want to do some interning in the entertainment industry :pachaha:. While I do IT after I finish school. Anyway, how hard is it to try to do some interning for entertainment companies? Remember, I still hope to have my supporting job while I do this. Because I want to do both IT and do work in other fields. Hey, it means more money :smugfavre: Also, if I move to Seattle I want to take some acting certification classes :obama:. Then, I drive up to Vancouver to do acting roles. Same thing for L.A. if I move there since I'm still choosing. Anyway, was it hard for you to get your foot in the door? If so, what are some tips you can give a young man like me coming in?

That all depends?

Do you like men? Because if you aren't a serious actor you might have to do a favor for a favor on that casing couch you dig

I just wanted to do indie acting to be honest. Plus, I kinda want my own niche fan base because I know I'm not a mainstream type of brotha.

That's if I decide to move to L.A. Right now, I'm seeing which is better for IT. If I move to Seattle that means I'll be driving to Vancouver B.C. to do Acting and etc.

Do u like bckshots from old white guys?

What are you doing to get towards this goal now? You need to get started as soon as possible if you want to be in the entertainment world imo. However, the best thing to know is to not rush or count on anything until the check clears. It's largely a popularity contest so keep good company and try to get in touch with people that will take you further. Closed mouths don't get fed. Also, so many people will ignore you not matter what you do so try not to take shyt too personally. Although, a lot of times it is personal.

And get used to gays because they are going to be all around. Not really sure what you're trying to do in entertainment as an intern. Are you trying to become a exec or just trying to do some acting and get a feel for the field?

Well I just want to do indie acting. Also, I thought interning was learning the field type of thing. IT is still my main thing, but I wanted to do some acting because I like it.

Well there are a few different types of interns in entertainment. If we're going by your definition, then what you need to do is look for work as an extra and network from there.
