I’m a professional actor currently living in Austin, TX. I’m originally from the fort collins area, I have a BFA in acting and have been regularly working in Austin, even winning a few awards. THe trouble is that there is very little paying work down here, AEA has almost zero presence, and there is no funding for any theater companies or film studios.
As i am originally from the area and have friends and family there, my wife and i are considering moving to the denver metro/boulder area. I just have some questions that i would love to get answered before we make any decisions. Your help would be much appreciated.
How frequently do you get auditions for gigs (theater, film, commercial)?
How frequently do you book gigs (theater, film, commercial)?
How many gigs pay, and how much on average?
Are there a number of talent agencies? If so, who has the best reputations? Are they AEA or SAG affiliated?
how many major studios are in the area?
how many theater companies are in the area?
do the theater companies put on good, important, honest performances?
In short, what is the likelihood that, assuming i am a good enough actor to even book gigs on a regular basis, i would be able to make money/support myself as an actor in Denver/boulder?
Also- what areas of the denver metro area are best to live in for a young, married actor? Where should i avoid? WHere are rent prices very low? Where is safe? WHat is close to major highways?
I greatly appreciate any help You can give me.

I’m trying to cast a student film and I need to cast actors through a casting notice online.
I was wondering if anyone knew of good websites to do that sort of thing. I am not affiliated with a union and it will be an independent project.
Please let me know. Thank you.

I’m a decently experienced actress that’s done freelance before, but I’ve been looking at taking the next step in my career. So I was applying to a whole bunch of agencies in my area and got a call back from one of them wanting an interview/audition…but when I looked at them again, they’re actually a talent management company. Their owner is SAG affiliated, so I don’t think it’s a SCAM, but is it a good idea to get a manager? I’ve gotten rejected from some of the other agencies I submitted to, would getting a manager help or hinder my career?
Advice?
