Pursuing a Dream?


Question Posted Saturday April 2 2005, 11:16 am

Hey, first off, let me start off by saying I'm fifteen years old and I'm a freshman in high school. I am involved in local theatre productions. For the longest time, since as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a model or an actress. I mean, when you really ask "what do you DREAM of doing?" I dream of singing before a crowd or being in magazines modeling or being in a film. It just seems to me that this is so out of reach and that I will never be able to be this. I kind of let it escape my mind and thought of other career options, but I think about this every once and awhile and it's hard to forget this "dream". I wonder if maybe it keeps popping in my mind for a reason? So, I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to how they feel about this, and whether or not you think I should pursue this and how to start. ANY sort of comment would be very helpful!

Hey, if you're good, pursue it, you don't want to be some fat housewife thinking, "What might've been..." Right? If you're good, pursue it. If you don't have the money, wait, but get an agent, if you live in or near a big city, most have city productions. Try commercials, try going to modeling agencies. Keep on with the school plays, but while you doing that remember that you might not make it, so have a backup plan ALWAYS!

heyy,
you should deffinately persue your dream. Don't let anyone tell you no. And you are only 15 so you still have a lot of time to be an actress/singer/model. Become as involved as you possibly can without letting it effect your school/social life. In a few years if you still LOVE it then start to look at colleges that you'd be interested in.
good luck!!!

<font face="arial">A dream is something that somebody hopes, longs, or is ambitious for- usually something difficult to attain. Make your dream a goal. Select one goal to work toward; List what you will do to reach this goal; Identify others who can help you and support your efforts. While working at your goal, write down the progress you are making. Give yourself a reward once you have achieved a part of your goal.

i have wanted to be a famous actress/singer ever since i was little and i think i am going to pursue it but i am pretty sure i am going to a college of acting or something JUST so i have something to fall back on if i dont make it big.

so my advice: follow your dream but try to have something to fall back on if your dream doesnt come completely true

best of luck

I think since you are involved in theater, then you are doing the right things. You just need to be patient. (I know that sounds stupid). People don't really become famous overnight. It just seems that way to us who are on the outside looking in. They spent years doing just what you are doing. If you really love performance art, then do you best at what you are doing. Keep it up. Take every opportunity to perform. Even for no money. Do well in school and plan on going to Art School. Performance Art that is. When you are older and working part time. Take lessons. Volunteer. When famous people come to town to work on plays with your theater group, ask them how they started out. People love to talk about that stuff. Everyone who is a fabulous performer today, started just the way you are now. Dreams are not realized overnight. It takes a long time and dedication. Make sure you get involved in the drama classes in your school. I hope you have drama classes there.
I hope this helps
