Need genuine support and guidance.

Phillip

So I'm 23 and with zero experience, friends, transport, and honestly no idea what I'm currently living for. 

I do have a paying job, not much but survivable. I don't like to compare my lifestyle to relatives but I am living aimlessly. 

I want to be a film actor. Correction: NEED to be a film actor. At least I know where my heart should be. But tools, confidence, experience and community is so scarce this doesn't seem achievable. I am mentally lost. I also need to move out because where I am is so toxic, in essence surrounded by narcissists. My daily structure is: go to work, come home, and just sit at my PC doing nothing productive. On a day off, it's even worse, mental torture because I don't know what to do or where to go. 

The only liberty I have is the gym. But coupled with poor eating structure and financial difficulty, this also hurts. Even more so I have nobody, nor professional or guidance. 

Please leave a message or reference to help me out, someone who can actually guide me. I've only just discovered this page since this has occurred for the last 3 years.

I have so much to give and I feel like I'm really wasting time, but I don't know the how or where, and the confidence to even try. 

Please help.

  • I agree with Iain, join local amatuer dramatic group to get something to do and meet people. You might not like it.

    Since you have a pc, ask AI for ideas about what to do. Could you write a play, or a film, or a series.

    Could you attend an acting school. 

    You will need to know how to do well in an audition and how to even get one. Do you need an agent, how do you apply, do you need membership of anything (union) to have a role?
