  15. admin Says:

    Hi Anand,

    I feel acting is a good career option.

    Looking at the media boom,the industry will always require trained/qualified actors.

    You never know when you make it big by getting a break in a film or a TV serial!

    Since you are a software engineer,you can always take a break from work and take up a short course for 3 or 6 months to see how things work out.

    There is a high demand for talented actors for TV serials and Films.

    One should always take proper training before looking for work.You can choose a long term or a short term course,its your choice.

    You should apply in more than one institute.

    You should also enquire about the placements.
