Hi there I really feel for you as thats exactly what I wanted to do I could have gone to the Lee Strasberg Institute in L.A but unless you can get the money upfront tuition fees and living expenses its practly impossible. Because also America don't have health care and if anything was to happen to you out there any kind of illness just like calling out the doctor for the flu its soooo expensive. You have to take everything into account. Most Academys have scholoships but because you an an overseas student then they don't apply. There are charities and organisations but I really don't know how to get in touch with them. I went to Italia Conti Acdemy of Arts and it was a nightmare trying to get a grant. If you get The Stage there are loads of film and camera technique schools that you could attend in London try and get you experience there, and then when you have that get a London agent you should get work. and once you can afford it your Agent will help you sort it out. However I will say its not as easy as to just get a few commercials it takes alot of time and determination your not just gona bag a few commercials before September, but then maybe you might be really lucky. This business is about persistance, being in the right place at the right time and also being extremly lucky. I hope you all the best in the future, and that it works out for you it would be an amazing experience and opportunity for you to go to America.
I wish you all the best
Regards
Louise
