What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
i live in the US but the show i want to get a part, any part at all, in is called Doctor Who and its in the UK. so is it possible? yes, i know, i don't sound like i really want to be an actress, but i really do but its just Doctor Who that i want to start off with. (foolish? maybe.) the thing im worried about is the international thing. im still in college, but im willing to do what it takes to get a part. and please, no snide comments. thank you.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
As a beginner actor with no agent or indeed any clue as to how agencies operate, you are not going to start off with a show like Doctor. Who or any other network or cable show for that matter. In order to work on a British show filmed in the U.K. you will need to have the proper work visas to work in the U.K. It is very difficult for Americans to get work permits over there and the show would need to show that you are in the top percent of your field (acting) and that they have a specific need for you that can not be filled by anyone else. Once again, as a beginner, you would not be able to show this.
Since you are still in college, you should investigate getting involved with your schools theatre department if they have one.What is a good acting agency in California, USA, preferably near San Francisco area?
Absolutely no chance. The casting director, Andy Pryor, hand picks the cast and who auditions based on what else he has seen them in - he has a dossier of actors he has seen and follows their progress before carefully selecting them to audition.
On top of all this:
1. You are not a professional actor
2. You presumably are not able to work in the UK
3. You live on the other side of the Atlantic and Doctor Who is cast and filmed in Wales
You really have to get a grip on reality with this one.

Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
I'll only be in SF for 3 days, what would b the best option? what are the best things to do?Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
If you take a bus it will go down Hwy 101, which is faster, but dull. If you drive you could go down hwy 1, which goes along the coast the whole way, a lot prettier, plus you could stop in Santa Cruz for lunch. And you could come back up 101 to save time.
The Monterey Aquarium is really good, if you like aquariums (aquaria?) Carmel is nice just to walk around and look in windows. Not much to do there except they have a really nice beach (but there are closer beaches).Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
Driving yourself is probably your best option. This will allow you to check out more of what Monterey has to offer.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is always a crowd favorite. Whale watching and bike rentals are also popular activities in Monterey. You can rent bikes on Cannery Row and ride down to Pacific Grove, or even Pebble Beach.
In Carmel, check out the Carmel Mission or walk/shop along Ocean Avenue. Point Lobos is great spot for hiking and sightseeing. There are also plenty of great restaurants in Carmel including Carmel Mission Ranch and PortaBella's.
If you enjoy wine head over to Carmel Valley Village. There are several wineries and tasting rooms. I work for the Monterey County Convention %26amp; Visitors Bureau so my job is to make sure you have a great time!
If you take Greyhound, you first have to go to Salinas, which takes four hours, then catch another bus from Salinas to Monterey/Carmel, which takes another hour. So that's at least five hours each direction.
Driving will take two hours each direction, and you'll have the freedom to go wherever you want. Drive.Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?
That's a 2 1/2 hour drive, depending. My wife and I do it sometimes for a weekend trip. Last time it took us all day to get to Pacific Grove. Visit friends in Half Moon Bay, stop at the beach, look a the old lighthouse, lunch in Capitola and some strolling, pick some strawberries or stop at a fruit stand, wine tasting...........................Bus, what bus?
Only a tour bus would take Hwy 1 (Cabrillo Hwy) down to Monterey and Carmel. Your best bet is to rent a car and drive there. It is around 3 hours to Carmel from S.F. so that is an all day trip there and back by bus unless you intend to to to Carmel and not go back to S.F. from there.Should I drive from San Francisco to Monterey and Carmel? or bus trip?

New York City or San Francisco?
Due to many factors, I narrowed down where to move to two cities: New York City and San Francisco.
Factors important to me: nice people, things to do, weather, safety, potential to work, potential to date and make friends, big airport, fun activities, diversity, ease of transportation, healthy life, availability of services.
Due to these factors, maybe that鈥檚 why I personally narrowed it down to NYC and SF, but I鈥檇 like to know other opinions about which to choose. Many thanks in advance guys!
P.S. I am professional mid鈥搕hirties straight intellectual artistic dude.New York City or San Francisco?
San Francisco is physically attractive and New York is more exciting. It depends what is more important. I have lived in both and live near San Francisco now..Both are great places to live, but I would have to say SF. The food is great, and so is the weather. It is a bit easier to live in SF, given the scale and population density. I grew up in NYC and then moved to the Bay Area, so I have a good sense of both places and I love them both!New York City or San Francisco?
I havent been to San Francisco but I've been living in New York for the past 4 months and its terrible. There is good transportation set up here but its really not efficient at all. The metro takes a long time and is really dirty. The city is really over crowded and makes it difficult just to go have lunch during the day. And if there is a free event in the city you need to make sure you get there at least 3 hours in advance cause there will always be thousands of people that show up to these events.
I came and visited New York for 5 days a few years ago and thought it was a great place but having to live here is completly different.
I suggest you live in San Francisco for at least a month and New York at least a month and then decide.New York City or San Francisco?
NYC!!! I'm from Florida but moved to NYC 5 years ago. Probably the best decision I ever made. I made tons of friends and seen so much! I have been to San Fran and it is lovely but there is no place like NYC! There is always things to do and always a bus or a train to take you around. especially to neighboring states!! The museums here are amazing! My personal fave is the Met. Good Luck!New York City or San Francisco?
I been to both places I would pick SF hands down. You can't beat the cable car, the Golden Bridge and best "summer"weather in the City By The Bay. New York summers, on the other hand, are absolutely unbearable.
Both are polluted asthmatic hellholes with oversexed and vulgar Americans.

Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
My mil said someone told her that it was cheaper flying into smaller airports. I do not agree and in fact usually find it way more expensive. At least it was when I flew into Vail rather than Denver? Anywho does anyone happen to know which airport she was speaking of she couldn't remember even which city it was? I tried to look it up but the only thing that came up was near San Francisco and it was San Jose International which to me isn't that small and I know it's not cheaper.
Thanks.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
LAX is your best bet because a lot of the discount airlines fly into there. Southwest, JetBlue, AirTran, Frontier, Virgin America, Spirit and Allegiant all operate flights in and out of LAX. When you have discount airlines flying into an airport, ticket prices generally fall. The smaller airports do not have as many flights and with less competition, prices are generally higher.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Hi Hun! Most of the time Sacramento is cheaper for us to fly out of, and you could also check San Jose. Those are the only two, other than Oakland that might be cheaper I think. When are you comming to Cali?Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Hmm, there's Oakland airport (OAK) outside of San Francisco... you could try that.Is there a smaller airport near either Los Angeles or San Francisco that is cheaper to fly into?
Check into Burbank, Ontario, Orange County (SNA) or Long Beach.
Yeah, only one I could think of was Long Beach.... Are you going to Cali? I want to come! :)

If you plan to visit more than a couple of these popular sights which require admission, you can save money by getting a Go Card or a San Francisco CityPass.
Things to do in San Francisco: Waterfront
Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square: Together, they encompass much of the stereotypical San Francisco sights and are perhaps the most popular things to do in San Francisco. Many people feel they haven't visited San Francisco unless they've seen them - but this tourist area bears little resemblance to the rest of the City of San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge: Not only is it one of the city's most enjoyable things to do, but it's also one of the most-photographed sights in the world. A walk on it is a must.

The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are some of the most-photographed San Francisco sights
Lombard, the "Crookedest" Street is neither the crookedest street in San Francisco nor the steepest, but it's surely the best-known. The "crooked" section is the block below Hyde Street. No car to drive down? Take the cable car to Hyde and Lombard and walk.
Golden Gate Park is the city's largest park. One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Japanese Tea Garden, but there's plenty more to see here, including the San Francisco Botanical Garden, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers. View photos

Chinatown expresses what early 20th Century Western architects thought Chinese buildings should look like. There's much here that's created just for the tourist, but with our hints, you can get a glimpse of the "real" Chinatown in its alleys and shops.

The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are some of the most-photographed San Francisco sights
Lombard, the "Crookedest" Street is neither the crookedest street in San Francisco nor the steepest, but it's surely the best-known. The "crooked" section is the block below Hyde Street. No car to drive down? Take the cable car to Hyde and Lombard and walk.
Golden Gate Park is the city's largest park. One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Japanese Tea Garden, but there's plenty more to see here, including the San Francisco Botanical Garden, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers. View photos
