career in acting.


Question Posted Sunday December 26 2010, 5:30 pm

Hey,
I'm 16 and give a lot of advice but can't find the answer to my own. I've been into acting for 4 years and want to make it in the business, it's really all I want to do. I'm pretty confident and a positive thinker. I'm doing "performance studies" as a course now. But I'm from a little town in England,which is not on the map, and most people havent even heard of it. Is there any hope? I'm so dedicated and committed to anything that I'll get a chance to do. I just want to break out and make it big! But there are NO auditions here, and if they are they are really far away and my parents both work till late and I feel helpless because I don't know how or what to do. Is there any hope at all? I also take acting lessons online aswell as school, at home I take notes while i watch tv. It's becoming a big part of me..

I'm not sure how small your town is, but you are quite young. This is your biggest advantage. As far as acting goes- experience is better than talent- so take your time keep learning, take parts in plays within your community or places that are closer than the city. Also it would never hurt to make your own films as well, post them on youtube, as well as other websites like deviantart.com and other video/art sharing sites. It's the disadvantage of living in a small town, but if you have the passion you will make it big, but you have so many years left to live right. So you're going to need to work with what you have until you can move to the cit on your own.

Maybe you could record yourself and post it on youtube. Enough people go on that website that you have a good chance of being discovered. (: Good luck!

It's all about YOU and the heart that you put into it.

I'm not sure if this is the best example or not, but look at Susan Boyle. She blasted out of obscurity and hasn't looked back.

I'm pretty sure that no one has ever said, I wish that I hadn't pursued my dream, or at least given it a try. You CAN bet, however, that there are plenty of folks regretting that they didn't give it a shot.

If you want it, you can get it. The only limits are those that you put on yourself. I hope that you take these sincere words of encouragement to heart.

I truly wish you the best of luck in this and all things.
