Are there bigger TV and movie auditions in NYC?

im 14 and living around baltimore. i know here there are many great theater productions and students films. but i really want to get into the bigger stuff like tv. yes, i know no one can land a huge starring role with the snap of their fingers, but isn't it true that NYC has the best training and auditions so that i can work up to that? if this is true, im thinking the summer i turn 16 ill drive up to NYC and stay there the summer to get acting work. do you think i should? or is there a way to get bigger roles staying at home? I can't exactly afford an agent.

thx!

btw, im not one of those fame-crazed kids. id really just like to experience acting on a bigger scale. honestly, if the fame was taken away, id still do, cause i act purely out of passion!

Well, you have to start smaller before you get bigger... Sorry, hon, that's the real world.
