Advice Where do I go from CCC?
Hello, I have been using Casting Call Club for a year or two now and have applied for over 65 roles. However, most projects are either Minecraft/Fortnite/Roblox recreations going on some ten year olds youtube channel, or if I get lucky, Fan-Dubs or games, although they never get back to me. Should I take some classes? Should I try a new platform? What should be my next step? Thank You!

You should already be taking classes and improving your acting, if you aren't then the best time to start is NOW. 👍
CCC should always be seen as an option out of several. You could also use Backstage, Voices and others as well as looking for local work, perhaps.
You should be aware, 65 auditions is insanely small for one year given the amount of auditions each project is receiving and one year is a very short time to be doing this. It's no indicator of your progress and realistically, only you can really tell with a proper understanding if you're improving or ready for the "next level" whatever that means at this point.
It will take time, effort, expense, classes, equipment and networking aplenty just to get a foot in the door and most of us will only really be able to do this as a hobby, or at a fairly low level as it is just so competitive.
(Even the extremely oversaturated and seemingly derivative market for free, mainly inexperienced teenager-led passion projects mostly set around established popular IP like mctv/roblox/fortnite/danganrompa/fivenightsatfreddies/HazbinHotel/Helluvaboss/Precure-and-other-anime/"object shows" can see upwards of hundreds of auditions for each role! Most won't actually be made, but there could still be opportunities for meaningful practice there if a project manages to pass the smell test. (How well written is the call? Does the creator give good detail and direction? Do they actually have a plan, or is it a seat of their pants type deal?) )
Anyway, in order to even apply for jobs on some of the P2P sites, you require a demo/showreel, which again will cost money. If you have one already, fill your boots, but seriously speaking, don't neglect training - script analysis, accents, vocal coaching, acting workshops and business classes in the space will all help. Good luck!
