Hi all~ Thought I would finally just jump in the deep end and introduce myself. :-) I am Vishani (pronounced Vee-shaw-nee) Miller and am always looking for opportunities to collaborate--and better myself and my craft (actor/ singer/ songwriter). What seems to be coming up for me now (more than ever) is finding the ever elusive answer to the universal actor's riddle: how do you make enough money to support yourself, while still allowing yourself the time and flexibility to focus on your craft? -- All thoughts, opinions, suggestions, theories and enlightened philosophies are welcome...Looking forward to it!

Hi Vishani, welcome to Stage 32! I'm also new here, but have already come across some really cool creatives. That's a great question you asked, how to support yourself and allow time to focus on your craft. It's a balance, for sure.
OK, so right now I’m writing Part Two of my thoughts on this subject, coming soon:
With all that goes on, I think it’s important to not lose yourself. It’s like a really good screenplay. There might be many different scenes and characters, but they all work together toward a central theme or idea. It’s sort of like that in our own lives. As we balance each day, it’s good to reflect on how all things we do ...are things that we believe in. And I think, for me anyway, this sort of perspective can help us to have even more fun along the way.
Hi Vishani, welcome aboard

Okay let me give you a real answer Vishani lol
Obviously, waiting tables and bartending but you knew that already
Better yet, be a babysitter. There are agencies that will pay you big money, plus you get tips. Much less hard work than waiting tables
Another option is to temp at an office and be so awesome that they'll let you go on auditions. That happens a lot if you're cheerful and kick ass
Other things that people do include dog-walking, massage, personal training - however, massage is tiring apparently and personal training yo have to devote a lot of energy in booking clients and pushing your clients. You need energy stores to devote to acting, that's why babysitting is great, or some easy office job..
