I hear all kinds of things and I also hear that it doesn't earn you enough money.

Please give me points!

Its extremely difficult to be successful in.

The amount of people who become famous compared to the amount of people who try is very very low.

You have to be the best. Every-time.

It's not a reliable choice, it's like fashion: one day you're in, the next you're out.

I agree.

and not only that, but you have to be AMAZING at your instrument or be an amazing singer or actor. If you aren't the absolute best, you haven't a popsicle's chance in hell.

GHOST-BUSTERS!

If you know anyone who is looking for advice on their audition pieces for any BFA or even MFA programs, there's a great thing that a theater company in New York City is running called Audition Bootcamp.

They are all sorts of sessions with professionals (like casting directors, working actors, directors, agents, etc) in the business, some seminars, and even one on one time with people who can give you tips and advice on anything you might want to ask them.

I think those types of things are essential, and priceless.  Like Mastercard.  :-)

They give some pretty detailed information on their website:

Good luck with it all!
