Though getting to act, sing and dance on “the reg” is part of the perks of being a performing arts major, the road to finding success after graduation can be difficult.
Recent graduate, Wallis Barton, knows firsthand how tough it can be for a young actor trying to start a career. Her advice to those graduating from CSULB with majors in the performing arts is to “Train for that moment when preparation meets opportunity. That is what I make myself live by.”
From getting the right head-shots, to meeting people and networking in the entertainment industry, Barton said “there is a lot more work to getting jobs than auditioning alone.”
Graduates of CSULB lucky to live in an area saturated with opportunities to make their dreams come true.
