Question
Hi, im 16 and ive always wanted to act, im looking into acting classes, and plan on working on acting throughout high school and into college. My question is where is it best to start my acting career; Vancouver, or Toronto?Where do you think has the most opportunities, best agents etc.

Answer
Hi there, Lisa.  And thanks for writing...

This is a great question.  

Either of those places has a lot of resources you can choose from.  What do you want in an opportunity?  What do you want in an agent?  What do you want in your career?  Once you have figured that out, then you will be able to find what will help you attain your goals.  

Does that help you?
