Im 20 years old, I have faced many obstacles and problems that I have had to go through alone with no help and the help I recieved wasn't ever any good. I have faced women problems, friends moving, suicide, killings, deaths, car accidents, sibling rivals, fighting, weird hobbies, my best friends being raped. I have been through a little of everything and I was the one many of them turned to so I like to help out.
Hobbies: I do a lot of work in recording studios, and video/editing studios so I know film pretty well. I am a director/producer. Thats what I am in school for, to further my knowledge of set production for I am a pre production wizard. I read a lot so I have knowledge. And more.
Education: I graduated at the top 15 percent of my class in high school which was college prep, and right now im in my 3rd year od college. I have an AA degree in media arts, a 6 month screen writing certificate from NYFA. I am 11 months from my BA in FILM and HDTV, and I am a semester away from an International Business Degree.
SO if you have any questions im polite and easy to talk with and you can ask me any question you have, I will be honest no matter what.

well i really would like to become an actress. i know there are probably thousands of girls in the country that wants to, so if you reply please dont tell me anything like that or anything negative.
heres are my strengths:
-i can be very dramatic
-i can do different voices, and im good at impersonating people
-im good at memorizing things
- and i just love to be someone different and hear different stories
weakness:
- i can be extremely, extremely shy around people i DONT know
so my questions are:
1)is there anything i can do to get over my shyness?
2) should i start out with headshots? im not really sure..
thanks guys! i know it was long but i'll rate high for good answers
oh and ps. pleeease dont say "start out on plays" because i did plays in highschool and i absolutely hated it (link)

Dear Actor,
The name is Christopher Espinoza, I am an Arizona Producer as well as an Az, Ca, Fl, and Ny model agent. This is my field and my play ground so here are a few tips, yes get a headshot that will be imporatant to even getting a foot in the door for if you have no headshot or resume with you on the casting days you might as well not show up. Second find a skill in acting that sets you apart from the rest, you need to show your unique quality you need to stand out. Start working on your acting, and I mean do it no do and say you did, so when there is a student project offering just credit and food be first in line because now your name is out, your refining your skill and the film makers on the video are going to be the film makers you work with in the future so remember be nice and play hard. And no never start out on plays, plays are way different so stay away, on be in a play to get the practice. Now being shy is most youngens in the industry, models and actors alike they need to get comfortable and when you are an actor you get treated like an actor (ex: sylvester stallone hates when people look at him in the eyes, so on set no one looks at him in the eyes, but that takes years to do). But remember acting is a job so start doing it. A practice tool that helps, not all people like it but it works, if a stranger talks with you tell them nothing about you. Thats right make up a character in your head and be that person tell that persons story, plus it helps get rid of shyness a little. Oh Remember there are two types of shy, "Im better than you" shy, and "I dont know how to start" shy.
If you need anything else don't be afraid to ask.
Christopher lee Espinoza
