Dont waste your time on such non-sense.

Answer 2

Your Talent Agent, the professional, will determine where he or she thinks you are best suited.

It may be Industrials, commercials, print work, acting, teleprompter work, etc. You do NOT have choice in the matter.

If you want to be an actor or model, you must live in New York City, where those industries are located.

To be an actor you need a lot of acting roles on your resume.
To be a fashion model, you MUST LOOK LIKE the models in the fashion magazines, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, etc. if you do NOT look like them, you will not be accepted by the top NYC modeling agencies: Ford, Click, Wilhelmina, Click or others.
