  • If you're smart enough and you're a good actress, why should you take acting classes?

    just try you're best! just go to audition! if u won't get accepted at first audition, go to another one!!don't give up!

    like u see I suck at english, cuz I'm from a small country in Europe(we spoke another language)!! but it makes me so proud when somebody says I'm a great actress!I! I've always wanted to be actress maybe someday my dreams would came true!right now I'm talking some bullshit, but i still hope!!

  • I want to be an actress. I'm 15, I live in Cornwall, England. I've wanted to do it since I was 4. I've never been to classes because they were too expensive but I go to a theatre group and I take drama for GCSE. I look online for auditions every month but they are always too far away and my mum would probably never let me go. It's my biggest dream ever to be an actress. I just been some tips or anything. I just wish I could make it somehow:(

  • my big inspiration to becoming an actress is twilight for some reason . its just that they put a lot of emotion in the movies they play . and i really , really , really want to  become an actress , and i feel like maybe like what if i dont make it as an actress . i'd feel sad . because its the only thing i want to do . i want to become a teenage actress so bad

  • Hey i am georgia and i am 13 and i would love to be an actress. i have been in some plays and some different kind of shows including dancing and singing. i am quite positive with acting but the thing that puts me down is being working with people who are older than me as i feel as if they are better which they probably are, but do you know how i can push that away from my dreams?

  • Omg I acted before nd once I went to commercial I was nervous lots of ppl so then I had to pay nd I said forget it cus to be famous is free not to pay .. They want money !!

  • @ZoZoe2 I'm glad to know someone feels what I feel, and I would support you!(:

  • Hi I'm 11 years old and I want to be a actress, ive been wanting to be one since I was seven, but my mom will never support my dreams, the first time I told her she said no acting classes are soooo expensive, I cryed, she pretty much crushed my dreams,I took an acting club in fifth grade, she said I was her best actress, I told my mom, she didn't care,I want somebody to support my dreams but nobody does nothing .

  • @kassiezerobear if i could i would support you :) <3 i know how u feel!

  • Comment removed

  • @kassiezerobear I'm So sorry :( I am pretty much a cowgirl...I love horses and I've ridden for over half my life (I'm 13). In the past year or two, I have had dreams to become an actress. I have never taken any lessons or been in any of my school plays but I think I'm good at it :) Whenever I see epic films like Harry Potter or something I always imagine myself as being in one of those amazing movies. This is a big dream that I really want, but I am afraid my parents won't support me.

  • @Pressthe8 try talking to your parents about and look online for opportunities near you. if convincing your parents doesn't work then practice your skills until your perfect at them and try to join your plays at your school so you can get experience to put on your actors resume. if you can't become an actor when your young wait until your old enough to drive your self to auditions. don't lose hope

  • @kassiezerobear Don't worry we all hit bumps in the road i don't have much support either but try to practice your skills until u have them perfect! join the school plays so you can have experience to put on your actors resume. if you can't become an actor when your young practice your skills for when your older and your able to drive yourself to the auditions

  • @kassiezerobear when i asked my mom if i could get a talent agent and she laughed. :(

  • @kassiezerobear hey i am 12 and Monday i am going for auddition for Disney Channel and i filled out this form online and they called my parents and know i am going on Monday so maybe this is helpful!!

    Good Luck

  • @kassiezerobear so true :( my parents too....

  • @kassiezerobear I know you wrote this 3 months ago but I really support you! :) I am 13, I really want to become an actress as well. I take acting classes and I literally just started around August or so. If you need some tips (which Iv'e learned there) I can probably pm you some =) And, well.... If you want to become an actress i recommend you find some auditions!

  • Hello , I'm 13 years old & I would like to become a proffesional actress . I have been to a couple showcasts & I have my headshoots & resumes on the back . My mom is going to pay for 3 months of acting classes ! She is willing to support me (: I just have a question . How do I get an agent to work with me ? I would like to start out small & work my way up . Please answer back .

  • I can't explain but for some reason, I have an ache to act. I have for a while now and I need to know how a kid that moves around every 1-3 years, at the age of 13, can be able to have a stable acting job. If anyone has any advice, any at all, please help me out by speaking up(:

  • Know any good agents/teachers in LA

  • Any advice for a 5 year old :)

  • i want to become an actress and im 14!! :p

  • My parents are finally letting me take an acting class this fall but I am scared that I'll mess up in it! What are some things I can do over the summer to practice acting at home as well as prepare for my class?

    P.S. My teacher said the class will involve alot of theater games and improv.

  • @stephlopes10 i do too! But my parents don't support me either! They tell me if i want to do it then work hard, but i understand that we need our parents help. The only advice i have for you is just KEEP ON TRYING. Don't give up. I gave up before and now i wan't this more than anything! Just work your way up, get some experiance in things like school plays, camp classes like theatre or other classes look for auditions online, in local news papers. just DON'T GIVE UP.

  • i wish i was famous CAN U HELP ME PLEASE I AM ONLY NINE YEARS OLD

  • @gadduful1 Okay if you want to be FAMOUS than actings not the way lot of ACTORS/ACTRESS are not FAMOUS if you want to be FAMOUS than no one will care about you FAME and being RICH is not what actings about, SO YOU KNOW HAT IF YOU HAVE THAT IN YOUR MIND I WANT TO BE FAMOUS, FAME ,FAME FAME, then your NOT going to BE!

  • im on ant farm!

  • @TheAlexis98 OMG are you cereal! lol i would die if i meet Jake short and China and Sierra

  • @Jenabebe ya i am. its so awesome!!! i love being on it.

  • @Jenabebe ya im lexi.

  • @stephlopes10 you will make it :)

    my parents at first didn't support me either but then they saw that this is really what i love to do, and they're letting me follow it :)

  • To date, the first and only play I've been in was up for an award, and is one of four finalists: Best in the city. Needless to say, I have the acting bug badly now. Not for the fame. Because I'm called to be an actress.

  • I'm 13, I don't want to be an actress for the fame I just do it cause the rush I get it's like I'm doing drugs when I look and see people clapping and smiling because I did a good job makes me feel great! I mean my dream since I've been 7 was to get a star on the walk of fame, which is almost impossible so I'm settling for being myself and hopefully being sucessful in life.

  • Hey everyone! So,i'm 14 years old and i reaally wanna be an actress! It's my dream and i have taken acting classes before..my problem is that i live in Greece and there's no way i can move to America! I guess i just have to deal with the fact that i will never make it in the biz :/ What do you guys think i should do? </3

  • @kRrUiLsEtSn tell u what? who answerd? what's the question? :P

  • Man, I wish my parents' would let me act :(

  • @AmericanTeenGirl101 aw!! i think main would say no too

  • I remember when i went to auditions for The program called THE(tey) i got a callback but it was expensive to get in it cost about 1,000 dollars to get in i thought it was free to be an actor as long as the producer likes you :( ):

  • dont become an actress for the fame. you wont make it. do it because you love it and thats your passion in life. i am going to finish high school with a bunch of science credits become a psychiatrist and do my residency at age 25 in california and try out for movies or anything. im excited. :)

  • who cares about being famous!? i personally would rather act and fulfull my dreams, without the nation and the rest of the world knowing what my favorite kind of nail polish is...

  • @LadyBumblebeeper The more languages, the better, the higher chance you'll get picked! JUST REMEMBER THAT! ;D

  • you girls have the same necklaces haha

  • How can you get an agent? Do you have to pay if so, is it expensive?

    Can somebody give me some advice on this,?? Also Im 16 in May and i would have left school should i go to College to study Performing Arts or just go straight into acting? Any help and i would be thankful :)

  • @iloveyou4eva11 Agents only get around 10% of what you make. So let's say you get payed $300, you'll have to pay the agent $30. It really depends on what your agent asks. You can start off as an extra, to get used to the set and to meet the other actresses. You can study Perfoming Arts WHILE being a part-time actress. I would get used to the films and what not and after graduating and you really feel ready. GO FOR IT! ;D I'm not an actress (yet) by the way, but I know those facts for sure. ;D

  • everybody is saying things like , I WANNA BE FAMOUS , or i wanna have the good life,

    the thing is people dont realize people dont act for the fame , you do it because you are dedicated or you enjoy it it was you LOVE and put effort into , actors dont do it for the fame they do it because its what they love ,. and that is why i would like to become an actress

  • I want to be a teenage singer. I'm 12 now, but by the time I'm 15 like ya kno, can u make a video on that?

  • hello i am a young teenager who wished to be in movies, and be in shows and stuff. Do you know where i can get an application for auditions :/

    Yours DESPERATEY a very desperate girl

  • Hello everyone.. I am a girl,14,and i want to be an famous actress. I got talent,but i live in Albania.. :( May u help me please? Please???

  • @iwanttobefamousify Well, just personally.. I think that you should act because you have a passion for it, because you 'love' to do it. 'NOT' because you want red carpet events and what not. Just to let you know, gowns+earrings+shoes=millions and millions of dollars. So being famous doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be rich. Sure, you get paid a lot but, you'll have to cope with who to trust, what to tell the paparazzi and how to dismiss discouragement from your friends. ;D

  • @1CLKL well.. what u are saying is kinda true..but i really wanna get famous.. i dont wanna get rich..i just wanna get famous.. after that..i got talent..this is what people say :D

  • @iwanttobefamousify WELL! Just remember that... With fame, comes enemies and haters and some people may try to manipulate you, and with fame can bring change in you, just remember that just because you're famous doesn't mean that you have the right to discourage people, you know what I mean? Everyone began as an amateur. ;/ :D Passion + Talent = You're on your way! ;)

  • @1CLKL I dont know.but being ana ctress is my dream :\ :\

  • Great actress. they argue and she smiles throught the whole thing

  • nice

  • This is Athena Reich from the videos. Google me or find me on facebook to connect!

  • "If you wanna be an actress, hire an acting coach" .... Hold on lemme shit out the money for an acting coach like yourself...... Great plan

  • I am dying to becoming on actress but im way too shy!!GRR and i never gone to any plays in school or anything!

  • @wenndo456 if your really wanting to be an actress, it wont be difficult even if you are shy. youll go up there thinking ur going to be all shy, but youll surprise yourself and feel right at home on that stage, even if it is in front of your classmates.TRUST ME. and good luck(:

  • @BridgetVictoriaaa that is the best advice I have ever heard...seriously - its so straightforward is eased me so much!

  • @LilacMiss ahahaha glad i could help! maybe we'll all see you on the big screen one day(:

  • I play in a theatre ''play'' ,, And my mom supports me trough everything and I think I am very lucky to have a mom like that, Yes she has her moments but we all have. I just needed to say that. ;)

    Oh and don't be dissapointed if you play in a play and you don't have a big roll, You just need to gain a little more experience and learn ,, you'll be fine if you just stick to your dream and never give up!

    :)

  • I love this video. I wish I lived near you so I could be an actress. It's been my dream ever since I was 7. My mom says it's hard work and I might not be an actress :(

  • my mom doesn't actually care. She thinks she's more important and doesn't even believe in me and says she has no time to take me to auditions and stuff. And I'm an only child so I don't see her problem :'(

  • Actually all you need to do is be a hot slut and leak nude photos of yourself to the press.

  • "To all the movie actors, go to my page to join audition for an upcoming feature movie!!!

  • i wish, i lived near you, cuz becoming a famous actress, is my life dream

  • I need you, lol. I live in Alaska and wouldn't know where to go to become an actress... I am 18 and am serious of being an actress, I have been in drama for a long time but would love to go professional... Any tips?

  • @iCandyTechnodog thats great, cuz i really want to become an actress too,. just don't give up

  • i want to have miley's life.

  • @difficultjustice1 ok, u can't be exatly like her, but maybe u can get halfway there, cuz sometimes i say that,too, that i want miranda cosgrove's life, but it's just crazy. but maybe u can. so good luck.

  • @difficultjustice1 you want to be hated by parents around the world for being a horrible role model to kids? that sounds like the life(sarcasm)! :P

  • @difficultjustice1 you really do cause thats not wahta cactings about

  • Why are all her videos covered in annoying walls of text? I have ears. I can *hear* what she's saying. I don't need it plastered on the screen as well.

  • @zpconn2 Maybe other poeple who don't speak and understand english so good need the text to understand new words which they don't know. I am from Germany and some words I didn't understand so well, but I did read the text and then I knew what the woman was speaking about. :-)

  • @SheIsASchokoholic and @thatonekid1151: Good points. Surely it wasn't necessary to cover the entire screen with text, though? I don't know. I apologize for forgetting that English is not everyone's first language. :D

  • @zpconn2 But the text doesn't annoy. Actually, I think it is better when you hear and read the words at the same time. You can better perceive the words this way. :-)

  • @zpconn2 It's because some people can't hear it as well as you do. Sometimes the person in the video might slur their words or mumble at some point, so it just makes it clearer. And the captions are in all ExpertVillage videos, not just her. Just letting you know.

  • om l really wanna bean actor l wanna be famous so that it will be easy to go out with your favourate celebrities like l wanna be an actor cos l really wanna meet jaden smith and meet and be his gf but you know if your a fan you have less chance to meet him or be his gf so L WANNA BE AN ACTOR BUT MY PARENTS WONT LET ME HELP ME !! :(

  • Hi,

    I am from Lithuania. I am 13 years old. I want to become a famous actress, but it is clear that not happen, because I do not know very well speak English. What do I do?

  • You learn to speak English, simple

  • i live in the middle of wisconsin. the biggest city is an hour away. i cant afford gas every week to go take acting lessons. so i was wondering if my drama teacher would be good enuf? shes actually an english teacher but she does all of our plays and iv been in 9 high school plays. and im only a junior and my mom might get me in at the school she works. please answer my ? i could use all the advice thank u so so much

  • i would say so because in my opinion i would rather book someone who has had the exprience of actually performing rather than someone who has just takin classes to learn the basis. although acting classes are recommended and helpfull.. plus the more experience the more to put down on a resume. :)

  • i want to become an acrtess aswell but its easier for them they are lucky they like in america . i mean i live in ireland and im from lithuania (thank god i speak english)

    this sucks its not fair =(

  • I'm sorry, move to America and work on your american accent
