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.

What advice would you give a 14 year old aspiring actress who's parents don't give a damn about her dreams, who lives out in the country, and isn't the stereotype of pretty? (link)

The trek to becoming an actress can be a long cold one or a bright dream. At your point in life you need to start getting into the drama/theatre portion of your schooling and extra curricular activities. That is the best way to get experience, as well as look for postings online to actors and actress and well as extras and begin there. Those are quick ways to get experience that is crediable and that get you on the track in which you would like to walk down.

I do work in the industry and those are the easiest routes to get into acting.

Hi my name is Bailey, i am 13 yrs. old and in the 7th grade. I would like to be either a dancer, singer,poem writter, or a film maker. I like doing all of theese things what should i do to figure out which path i should take to find my career (link)

Dear Career,
Well your still young so you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do. The question is which one do you feel most connected with. I will not tell you to don't think about your future at your age because I was the same as you when I was 13, all I thought about was my future. Another question is when your older how much do you want to make? Like dancers make money only if you are awesome (its like soccer players you have to be awesome not good, so its hard to get good money. To be a singer its not as hard you just need to practice get in a band or recording studio and do your thing, get noticed at a club and get noticed, but since the industry is going through a rough time right now you might want to make sure your sound and lyric stand out and is completely different than todays music. Poem writters don't make much money only because most of your work is never published or seen until your death (take emily dickinson for example) so putting food on your table is going to be hard. As for being a film maker you make money (I am going into directing so I'm already a amature director) I could tell you so much about this job, but the things you need to know are things you cannot learn from a book, only by making your own mistakes. So with that in mind if money is your object of desire look what I told you above, but if its all about passion do each one to the max and find out which one you feel more connected to, which on can you see yourself doing for the rest of your life?
Just do what you love and the rest of your life will fall into place.

I can't sing loudly! Since 6th grade I've tried out for 5 musicals and I haven't made any of them because I can't project my voice. I've tried everything I know of, trying to sing from your diaphram, not your stomach..and NOTHING WORKS! I know I have a good voice, my chorus teacher even told me she couldn't give me a solo because I wasn't loud enough, but she really wanted to. Any tips on singing loudly would be greatly appreciated. (And good songs to practice with, I'm a second Soprano) (link)

Feel your neck, and move down till you find your colar bones where they connect to the front of the rib cage, I think. Move up an inch and apply a little pressure not to much and sing your voice will sound dull but it builds up your voice the more you do this. Or learn to control your are intake the more air you take in the higher your voice can get.

Everytime I am on center stage, for playing an instrument, singing, acting, auditions, giving a speech in front of my class, whatever.... I get soooo nervous. My feet shake, my hands shake so hard it's hard to hold papers or instruments steady and they get really cold. Sometimes I get this nervous twitch above my lip. I don't know any way to get rid of it! And I can't just avoid the stage, because even though I get nervous, I really want to perform. Ugh.
Help! (link)

Hey I know the feeling I used to get it when it when I was asked to read. But lets start simple raise your hand more in class because that helps gain confidence. Second introduce yourself to people you don't know because believe it or not the more people you know and are friends with the easier it is to get up infront of people. And the third learn to block the people out, just think of them being around you not looking at you.
I hoped that helped you
