I really want to be an actress but my chance slipped away once

@hollywoodshopaholic that is sooo true about them not having a lot of roles for asian girls.. Im not even asian but i could totally agree with u on that. But I think if u were ever out in Los Angeles there would be plenty of opportunities for u

All these people who wanna become an actress need to know u need ur parents support. I have my parents support and uno wat i will be a succesful actress i know it! Believe in yourself.

@apairofdobbysocks My story is the same as yours. I'm from Slovenia. That's worse! But maybe one day our dreams will become true :))

I have an audition today and I've been so nervous but after seeing this, I see it as just another way to preform and show people what I've got :) thanks.

I have wanted to be an actress since i was little. My school offers drama so i take that as a class and i do summer drama. My parents think that all actors go crazy. I live in the east coast so i dont know how im ever going to became something

@ameliaxxamelia same with me too ! :D haha we all want to be teenage actresses :) I'm going to move (hopefully) when I'm 19 :) I really want to :D x

@apairofdobbysocks I also want to become an actress one day! :-) I'm 14, nearly 15. You could maybe move when your older and go to acting schools and try to build your way up? I live in the UK and have wanted to move to America for years!

Does it really take yearss to become an actress? :/

[apairofdobbysocks]

I'm 13 and I love to act! The only problem is that I'm from Portugal and here all actors and actresses suck. I want to move to the USA but I think I don't really have the chance. Only if I get into a college there. I think I'll never have the chance and my parents will never understand, maybe I should stop thinking about the idea of being an actress but is all I think about daily...

@crayzcayte you need to go for your dreams!! who cares what your school thinks? they are not professionls, and just talk to your mom (or dad, whoever you feel you can talk to.... even an aunt or cousin or WHATEVER...) and tell them your intrested in auditioning for some professionl acting work. you WONT regret it!!!

[crayzcayte]

I love acting, but when it comes down to the realities, I know that I'll never make it. I've auditioned for all of my high school's production (in the spring I'm auditioning for R & G are Dead) and have gotten in... As an extra. Granted there's seniority and I'm only a sophomore and a lot of girls audition, but it's super discouraging. I don't feel talented enough, and try as I might, I can't earn talent. I'd love to do a tv show, but I'm embarrassed to tell my parents that I want to do film wo
