5. How to Invest Your Time and Money as an Aspiring Actor
11/28/22 • 28 min
We recently polled our Broadway Vocal Coach community to learn what their dreams are and what challenges they face when it comes to reaching their goals. The number one challenge we heard from professional and aspiring professional actors? Not enough money for lessons, classes, new headshots, etc. And the second? Not enough industry know-how, and not knowing where to begin. If you’re a professional or aspiring professional singing actor wondering where to invest your time and money for the greatest impact in your life and career, then you’re in the right place. Today we’re talking all about making smart choices with your resources so you can feel like you’re headed in the right direction.
