Think Twice About Being An Actress

Felecia,
If you want to be an actress you need to move to Los Angeles, take acting lessons three to five times a week and unless you are independantly wealthy, be prepared to work as a waitress. After you have been taking acting classes for at least 6 months, get your headshots done and try to obtain an agent. You will have to do a monolouge to audition. Continue to seek representation, taking your acting classes, and working. If you are good, you will get an agent, start auditioning in the day, and working at night. You will expose yourself to rejection on a daily basis. Based on how you look, you will also have to decide what your look is. Are you the model type, the character actress type? You must also stay in excellent shape.
Think twice about it. You would be living in a crazy city, competing with millions of other girls. If you are willing to sacrifice 10 years of your life for this dream and know you might not make it, then you are brave. Most actresses have connections, famous parents, friends, etc. I have met so many people that are in their 30`s & 40`s who gave up everything to be an actor, and they did not make it. You also can have someone give you a professional opinion. They will tell you if you have something special or not. LA is the land of the beautiful people. I am one of them. Go to college instead and live a nice life. The want for fame will wear off. Good luck.
