advice
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
Hey DollFace :]
Lemme just tell you that we share the same dream. Kayy well I absolutely understand the fact you don't want to try anymore plays cuz broadway && hollywood are two completly different things. It sounds to me like your strenghts are very good && powerful. Those things are important in most cases && they will really help you. Incase you didnt know, many very famous actors && actresses were extremly shy, and some still are. Julia Roberts && Jenifer Garner are two of them. I think maybe taking some acting courses to get started. I use to be super shy, but taking acting clases really helps. You meet new people that love the same things you do && you just begin to feel more confident not only for your dream job, but for life. It alsom seems to me that if your into comedy && stuff like that, you have great potential to be in shows kinda like Saturday Night Live && such. If your thinking that kinda thing might interest you as well, you could try improv classes. Even if your not interested in stuff like that, those will really help too. And last but not least, headshots are of course neccesary for any auditions, so getting some would be great, but i think you should get rid of your shyness && try to work on your acting skills a little more && then get headshots. Usually your coaches && teachers will have information about different auditions && you'll be able to think about those kind of things once your getting ready for an audition.
Hope I Could Help!
See you in Hollywood sweetheart :D
