Are you currently acting/do you have prior experience? If so, seek out advice from fellow actors in your communities. But most actors I know do hold down other day jobs.

Make a reel, get headshots, go on auditions

It’s going to be hard to go to casting calls if you are working 9-5pm.

If you are in NYC or LA, take professional acting classes. The instructors and classmates can help you get networked in, auditions, etc

I did modeling and acting as a kid and young adult. SUPER fun but… unless you’re super sexy and am willing to do trashy glamour work for money … you’ll just be a starving artist that hopes to make it. Maybe you’ll make it! That would be awesome, but… is that the life you want? I didn’t and don’t… so I went to school and now run a healthcare practice and am happy and make more money than I’d ever though I would. So…. Whatever your decision is I would just recommend being prepared and ready for what that path holds.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
