- Nothing is wrong in wanting to be a successful actress. It is simply very hard work to make it in the acting business, and you have to be prepared for a long struggle and a lot of disappointment.
- that, and having NO privacy. You always see them all over the TV and stuff. Can you imagine what it's like for them? But other than that, follow your dreams!
- Well, if this is your big dream, go for it. But for every benefit, there is a cost. 1. Acting is a very hard field to crack. You have to be willing to work odd jobs between gigs for many years -- maybe forever -- depending on your luck and networking. 2. Say you do become the next big star. Look at the tabloid headlines. The news articles. ET features. That could be you. Can you handle living in a fishbowl? No privacy? Constantly surrounded by paparazzi, looking for the least mistake so they can sell their wares to the highest bidder? Always being second-guessed and scrutinized by the media and public? Some people I guess don't mind it, some like the attention. Whether you would or not, only you can answer.
- 1: You are no longer you. You are a commodity, not unlike Pork Belly Futures, to be traded on the open market. 2: You WILL be ripped off. Not a question of if but when. 3: You will be surrounded by leeches. Psychically and financially. 4: You will lose perspective as to how the world really works. 5: Most probably, you will either die young, or be a bartender in a biker bar at age 30, with debts that you have no chance of paying off should you live to be 159. The Hollywood world is tough, kiddo. Nobody cares. Learn a trade.
- I don't know what that guy is talking about maybe he had a real hard time becomming an actor i don't know, but to make it in this buisness you need to eat, sleep, dream, and breath it. and you're never to young to be an actor try trying out for competitions, be an extra in a movie get an agent, you really can be anything you want to be if you really put the dedication, time and money into it, start off real small don't expect to get a job in 2 weeks it took my friend Frank Montiear 6 months to get on Days of Our Lives and that's real luck sometimes it takes 10 years to get a real job and you will you just need to keep trying their is always someone out there that will say yes, but if you really can't find that one yes maybe it's your acting, go to an acting coach, what I've learned to help build my charactor that I'm trying to protray is that I am that charactor i think of everything she would do in a situation, the way she talks, the way she walks, a habbit she may do like if she's a nervous tense person she probably fidgets alot with her fingers, looks and the ground when she walks, or looks the opposit way when she's talking to somebody. If she's poor and barely gets to eat i put myself through that i won't eat as much and i won't go to high class restraunts, i'll start to dress like her, I'll totally throw myself away and be her. It will really help with your auditions die your hair change your clothes exactly the way the charactor is protrayed, and if you still don't get the part don't give up, this is what dedication and time is all you're hard work will pay off trust me I've been through IMTA i've been to many auditions and I've been in many commercials and I'm still struggling DON'T GIVE UP! i know this is long but i love to give advise because i was never able to get it myself. sorry if my spelling is bad! ooops
