Hey guys

So I'm an internationally raised actor. I was born in europe but went to international school abroad in middle east and as a result I have a natural American accent. I have an EU passport which gives me the legal right to pursue work in uk/Ireland without a visa.

I haven't gone drama school but I've been personally trained by a sanford meisner/adler graduate in dublin.

What are my chances of succeeding here? I'm not "British Asian " or "British black" or "white". My coach told me theyre not gonna hire me for British roles even if i learn an rp accent when they have actual British actors. In ireland I was getting only brief for north american day player roles. But there weren't many leading or even supporting for me.

Should I move canada instead?

What do I do?

Would appreciate advice. Thanks!!

So in my final year I've failed one module whilst passing the rest. My weighed average combining year 2(25%) and year 3 (75%) is 60% but I got 35 on one module assignment which was 100% for the module

​

I've been invited to attend my graduation but I'm really stressed out as I'm unsure if I've passed?

​

Does anyone know what I can do in this situation??? This is 3 years of my life which feels like it's gone down the drain

Hey guys

So I'm an Irish citizen who's graduated with a degree in economics from the UK. I want to move to usa and my plan is doing a masters in a demand stem field. What field would be the most demand at the moment?

I can do data analytics from my course. I'm thinking of a masters in stem so I can get an opt for 3 years

Any potential ideas? What about the health care industry? Healthcare policy making. Is there a demand for teachers? I've considered a career path in teaching aswell, is it possible to do a masters there to ultimately become a teacher?

I'm not big into tech, I am personally fine with a middle class lifestyle.

Hey guys

So I'm an Irish citizen who's graduated with a degree in economics from a UK university. I want to consider moving to usa which I am aware is quite difficult. Right now the only "hard skill" I can do is data analytics and some coding but I'm not looking for a career in that field long term

I wanted to ask - would doing a masters be a good way to get my foot there? I'm considering a graduate degree in MBA or business accounting etc related as I'm not the best in STEM unfortunately.

Also, any thoughts on h1b cap exempt? I looked I it and I think non profit organisations such as colleges, research institutions etc will sponsor a visa without having to pay 100k?

Should I consider a masters that gets me in this pathway?

Hey guys

So ive graduated with a degree in economics(BA) in the uk. I hold an Irish passport and uk.

My goal is to move to Canada and get PR.

What's the best way?

My Irish passport can get me 2 years IEC. The uk one is 3. So I can get 5 years total on iec.

What's the best way for me to get a job in canada leading to PR?

I've just graduated and I'm trying to think how I can move to Canada. Should I find a job here first in uk which has an in demand skill in canada? Do it for a year then move?

Would appreciate any advice!

Hey guys would appreciate some advice

So I was born in the UK , lived a bit in Ireland but grew up in the middle east in a typical international school I pretty much stayed there until 20 and then came back to the UK.

Problem is: I have an authentic north american accent due to my globalised upbringing which is hindering me from getting work in europe. My passport is from the UK.

Ethnically: I'm morrocan. I struggle to be put in a box. I can pass for being Latin American, middle Eastern, mixed race, southern Mediterranean.

What can I do in my situation? I'm not British Black/British Asian / White British. I don't have an authentic English accent. I'm "ambigous" looking. To top it off, I'm stuck with my north american accent.

All my training was done under an old retired producer/director from new york who trained under Sanford Meisner and Stella Adler. I never went to drama school to learn acting here. I've kind of done it the american way by attending studios/workshops and private coaching.

How do I build a career? Should I try find an agent who can market me to american producers? Is that possible? Are there american producers who look for those with authentic American accents in the UK? I can't even submit myself for work in short films here because they're all English stories.

Would appreciate peoples advice. Thanks!

So i was Born here and did half my schooling here and abroad aswell in an international school to south asian parents.

Just finished a 3 year Bachelor in England and jeez are they incredibly not only racist but also casually xenophobic. First time in my 23 years did I hear the slur p*** used here which shocked me as a south asian. Never heard it my time abroad so its wild hearing people throw it out casually here. They've got such extreme deprivation and a hyper agressive masculine urban culture in the big cities.

Also they're incredibly ignorant of Ireland's own distinct culture/history. I think just having a multicultural identity has opened my eyes to all kinds of bigotry

I did history in both ireland and abroad. In ireland we were taught about the plantations. Abroad we were taught England's role in stopping ww2 lol

So much for being a diverse progressive society lol. Anyone else who lived in England have similar experiences??

I just finished a 3 years economics degree and I've come to the realisation that I truly love acting and everything to do with it. I got into this at the age of 18 and went at it for 3 years with an agent and then took at a break at 22.l to go back to college.

When I was 22, my friend and I were deciding to go drama school or not. He ultimately graduated with a bfa whereas I thought I'd get a intellectual degree to fallback on whilst juggling this dream on the side.

Now at 25 having just finished college, I feel like I've been putting on a facade this whole time and I'm feeling the impulse from my soul to just plunge into this fully. I don't wanna please others anymore.

Dis anyone else go through a similar phase where they felt themselves drawn to acting acting after a break?!

Would love to hear other people's experiences

Hey guys

So I'll (24) be graduating from college with a Bachelor's in economics. Prior to entering college I did a couple jobs here and there to learn more about myself, mainly sales, hospitality and bar work.

In the last few years especially from my degree, I've realised I absolutely do not enjoy research, statiscal analysis doing econometrics etc writing or sitting behind a computer.

Is there such thing as a high paying job that doesn't involve doing back end/analytic evaluation roles?

I enjoy using my interpersonal communication, speaking to people and connecting talents together and coming up with new ideas.

Outside of my degree, I did get involved in organising dance events/showd for college which I enjoyed. I'm also interested in global affairs, events, pop culture etc happening around the world.

Someone suggested I should get into SAAS BDR/SDR however I'm not excited by tech. Is tourism a good industry? PR?

Should I pursue a career in what I'm interested in or what I'm good at naturally?

I'm unsure as to what career to do after I graduate. The way I think about this is what tasks energise or drain me.

Would appreciate anyone's advice thanks!
