New York City is the capital of the world for theatre — daring musicals, impressive revivals, and mind-blowing new plays. When we all think of theatre, we think of Broadway, but what if Broadway wasn\u2019t the only place you could go to find work in the theatre? #YouGottaEat<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme Parks<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

With so many <\/span>theme parks<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to choose from, it\u2019s surprising that more performers don\u2019t know about these opportunities. Theme parks like Disney, Universal, Sea World, Legoland, and Six Flags are always looking for talent and often post audition notices every couple months. Theme parks can offer consistent work, and sometimes depending on your role or status, you can receive health benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cruise Ships<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Being cast in a <\/span>cruise line show<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (or several shows at once) gives you the opportunity to live rent-free for up to eight months, all while touring the world, meeting new friends, making life-long connections, and improving your Instagram game by taking photos of all the locations you\u2019ll visit on your voyage. In addition to getting free room and board, you\u2019ll also be getting paid, which means you\u2019ll be saving money, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Touring Shows<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Just like cruise ship work, touring shows take you from city to city, allowing you to see locations you may not have otherwise had a chance to visit. You\u2019ll get to perform in different theatres around the country and around the world, and you\u2019ll also form strong bonds with your castmates, all while earning money toward whatever projects or plans you have coming up next. You can tour nationally or internationally, too, depending on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegas<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Though Vegas is a long way from New York, it\u2019s a great place to earn a living while calling one of the most exciting cities in the United States home. If you work in Vegas, you\u2019ll be right next to other amazing shows, too! Vegas has dozens of live performances like musicals, revues, and circus shows, which means you\u2019re surrounded by people just like you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voiceover Work<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Though you aren\u2019t on stage or in front of a camera, you can still lend your voice talents to video and audio productions. Take care of your voice, make a reel, and you could find yourself voicing commercials, acting as a cartoon character, or narrating educational science films and documentaries. It may not be Broadway, but you can go to work in your pajamas, and you can oftentimes work from home! Ginny Kopf has some great advice on what it takes to break into voiceovers<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, how to get voiceover credits<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, and which dialects you need to make you more castable<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
