Acting in the field, i.e. assuming a completely fabricated personality even going as far as changing your accent, is risky for obvious reasons. If you bump into someone that you went to school with when pretending to be a Russian oligarch when in fact you're from Bradford, you're in danger of colossal embarrassment. To use your enjoyment of acting to a more fruitful end, why not take some acting classes or join a theater group? There're lots of women in the arts and, naturally, the targets open themselves when there is such a shared interest.
Well this might be strange, but in my classes I get really bored, so I tend to one day randomly pretend to be Chip for Southern Mississippi, or Bradley for London. My point being if I make it somewhat a natural thing, where my identity is truly I am an actor, will that eliminate the possibility of fraud so to speak?
Also I agree with the second part completely. I know a lot of NYU art + theater (major) girls and guys, and just because we share something in common, and your simply just 100% correct.
My next question is let's say during the conversation phase and she is talking about her hobbies and she happens to mention acting. Is there a possibility to show my skill without trying to show bragging in a negative manor.
-I know one time I went to a bar I eventually got to tired and just told the crowd I was entertaining that I am not from (australia) and rather american and it just caused them to be more interested. My problem is I didn't segue into this at all so I don't know if it will work again it could have just been a lucky turn of events with a bunch of drunk NYU college students trying to let off steam before a midterm or something.
I see your point. If you're upfront about your acting then that may just work in your favour. Nonetheless, you have to be good if you're to get any results.
In terms of the demonstration of skill mid-conversation, I'd try to avoid that. The reason being that I think it will appear conceited to your target.
However, I think if you decided to do some role play with your target, then you could have a lot of fun. For example, when she says that she is interested in acting tell her that you are too. Suggest that you both test your skills and pretend to be a couple, for instance. You can open groups this way, meeting more people in the process, and you can have a lot of fun. After each approach you should banter with her about how bad her acting is(mildy of course, you don't want to offend a Thespian). You've got to be on top of your game though and demonstrate your skill effectively. This seems to me to be your best option in such a circumstance.
