Once you are all moved in, try to hurry and established your residence quickly so that you don’t have to worry about the Police or taxes (switch car registration, tags, license). Obtain a regular fulltime job, get familiar with the neighborhood so you can get around easier. Then, look into auditioning. Don't believe the hype when your friends say, "go to this audition, go man, go." If you don't have a job pulling in some kind of money, those casting directors are going to sense your desperation for obtaining work and blow you off. I've been at auditions where I thought I hid my desperation but apparently they saw right through it. it's not because I was bad either, "me be good at wat i do." Trust me, if you don't go today, it will still be there tomorrow. Since the Taliban haven't blown up Hollywood it will be there waiting on you. So lock down a job! Hard as it may be, you got to do it.
Also, you should put yourself to the task of checking your Credit Record for accurate, and possibly, inaccurate information about you. To make a point in clearing out some outstanding debt while starting in a new place of living. After moving to Las Vegas, I thought it would be good to clear everything up. Get financially stable and pay all the useless bills off. I know it means getting intouch with places you may not want to get in touch with but you should. When you do, your credit scores gets better. It's worth it. There are many outlets of finding out where you stand financially. You could pay some dot.com company to get the credit information/score or go to freecreditreport.com or annualcreditreport.com, or just simply write all 3 of the big Facist Credit companies on your own. You are allowed 1 free credit report in a calendar year. There all Fascists anyway. With that in mind, I have gone out of my way to make sure that ALL of my stuff is correct. Even though goddamn New York state says I didn't filed in the 90's, they got me paying those fools back taxes now. Because they claim I didn't, I know I did. But after 15 years, are you kidding me. You let clowns like Trump walk all over the place cheating on their taxes with every damn tax cut you can think of. Warren Buffet is right. It's not fair. Hell, California garnished my pay 3 times claiming I didn't file for 2005. 2005, people! I couldn't pay rent after those facist bastards took my money but it is over now. The worst part of it was that I thrown everything out before 2007 because after a certain amount of time. It didn't seem important to keep all of it anymore. They got their money, and I did get the chance to say my peace for the hell of it. So, yeah, regardless, it is good to clear these things up so you can move on without any other financial worries. Of course, most of you have credit cards from your parents. I didn't have that luxury. Just me and cash.
When it comes to the IRS, use the Federal law in your favor for the second time, what I mean by that. I hope you are all filing taxes under Performing Artist. It is the only way you will get all your hard earned money back from the IRS. To make really sure you get your money, get a professional. I go to Jackson Hewitt. They even have coupons to take to the preparer for nice discounts. USE THEM. H & R Block is okay, they have a ton of commercials stressing on how great they are. So, okay give them a shot. I wouldn't trust the really local guys unless you know somebody that REALLY knows taxes. They just seem shady to me. I'll be back because I am not finished.
Hey now.
