WHY do you want to be an actress?

Question: WHY do you want to be an actress!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I enjoy acting for the same reasons every one else has mentioned but with one addition!. I do not enjoy working in front of a camera as much as I do a live audience!. Each audience has it's own rhythm!. Some times you need to pause after the set up before you deliver the punch line so they can keep up with you and others you will have to hurry to keep up with them!. Some times you will need to ride a laugh or other reaction then quickly pick it up on the down side before it dies!. Other nights you won't even get a reaction and you need to move on without missing a beat!. Too many of our young actors and actresses grew up on media and have no idea about what "working the house" means It is a special skill that needs to be honed!. Some pick it up naturally!. For others it is a learned skill!. Some have no sensitivity and shouldn't be on stage!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because I love acting!.
Why else!?
I love to perform, create, entertain, become someone else, tell a story, etc!.
I love acting and theatre so much that I can't imagine going through life with a different career, even if it means spending years upon years with no work, with a waitressing job to pay the rent on my terrible crappy apartment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
