Why can I pursue acting | voice acting | commercial modeling as a hobby and side job?

There are people who work as actors, voice actors, and commercial models as a side job?

“Someone who has learned acting can become the number one cabbage seller, even if that's what they end up doing.”

These are the words my professor at Chung-Ang University once told me.

Many professions involve managing emotions and require working in environments where you must communicate with others.

Among them, those who are prepared by learning acting and speech techniques are simply different.

Regardless of your profession, learning acting (emotions) and speech will make your life blossom even more than it is now.

What if there are people who started this as a hobby but ended up turning it into a side job or even their main career?

Hello.

I am Actor and Director Lee Tae-young.

Since my time as a student in the Department of Theater and Film at Chung-Ang University, I have always been deeply interested in teaching. Consequently, I spent a long time working part-time as a private tutor and academy instructor. After graduation, I traveled to various locations across the country...

Ever since I was a student in the Department of Theater and Film at Chung-Ang University, I have been deeply interested in teaching, leading me to work as a private tutor and academy instructor for a long time. After graduation, I provided free practical acting lessons and on-set experience to aspiring and rookie actors from all over the country, each with their own unique stories.

At the same time, since my primary profession is acting, I have continued to grow within my craft by meeting viewers through various works as both an actor and a director.

In the meantime, given an unexpected opportunity, I established an acting academy using the extensive know-how I had accumulated over the years.

After establishing it, I met people of various ages ranging from their 10s to 60s and discovered one surprising fact.

I ended up establishing an acting academy based on that know-how. After its founding, I met people of various ages ranging from their 10s to 60s and discovered one surprising fact.

It was that there is no specific type of person destined to be an actor.

Through meeting people of various ages, from their teens to their 60s, I discovered one surprising fact: there is no specific type of person destined to be an actor.

It's just that they aren't aware of their own potential; seeing the diverse energy and talent hidden within them during classes, I have felt challenged and inspired myself on more than one occasion.

Even while working a job, attending school, or pursuing other majors, they dive into acting as a hobby or a side job, and

Seeing them display a more relaxed attitude in auditions than even professional actors,

I have come to realize that acting and voice acting are not just for those born with genius talent, and that anyone can enter these fields even as a hobby by working hard in their spare time.

Has there ever been a time when it was easier to become a celebrity than it is today? Of course, just because the barrier to entry is low doesn't mean everyone will succeed. But have you even tried? The potential within me...

Has there ever been a time when it was as easy to become a celebrity as it is today?

Of course, a low barrier to entry does not mean that everyone will be successful.

But have you ever tried?

Have you checked the potential within yourself?

Even now, there are actors and voice actors who started as a hobby and went on to make their professional debuts.

What if you could see yourself in commercials every time you turn on the TV, earn extra income, and still stay focused on your current job?

I am not telling you to be half-hearted about your main job or your current career.

If you approach this with a casual or half-hearted mindset, it will undoubtedly be a difficult path in many ways. However, if you take it seriously, embrace the potential within you, and make the most of your time to prepare—even if it's just once—then...

You can do it!

Please let me meet a tomorrow where a new version of me lives!
