Acting is my main passion, and I really want to pursue it seriously and hopefully make it my career. At the same time, I obviously need to earn money while I’m building my career, because I can’t just sit around and wait for acting jobs to come along.
I’m currently thinking about staying in a regular 9–5 office job, but I’m wondering how people actually manage that alongside acting. What happens if you have a full-time job and suddenly get offered a role that requires you to be on set for several days or weeks? You obviously can’t just quit your job every time you get cast.
So I’d love to hear from other actors: Do you have a 9–5? Do you work part-time, freelance, or something more flexible? Do you have an employer who is understanding about auditions and acting jobs? Or did you choose not to work a regular job while pursuing acting?
I’d really appreciate hearing how you guys handle the practical side of balancing a normal income with pursuing acting seriously.

Hi, so I‘m at the very begin of my acting career but wanted to learn it since I was a little kid. I‘m from a country where acting isnt really a thing so I‘m considering about taking online acting classes from abroad.
My current two options are Identity school of Acting (London) or Ivana Chubbuck studio. Both offer online courses and have almost the same price.
I don‘t have spare money so I want to make the right choice so I can stick with the studio and don‘t have to begin new at another studio.
I heard many different reviews, Identity school of acting would be good because it‘s in London so more closely to my country (switzerland) and I can change from online to in person classes at anytime, but there are many mixed opinions about the school.

Which one do you think I should take? Or do you even have better suggestions?

I need to apply to one asap.

Thanks to everyone that replies
