Question: Who else has felt the same!? am i being pathetic!?
i'm a transpiring teen actress
go on there's hundreds of us out there
but after two years of work i finally finished my assessing process and got my agent and everything!.
first of all my dad said i couldn't have it even thought i worked so hard!.
then my parents said i could if i lost two stone (i'm not overweight but i'm extremely small for my age so the fat kind of gathers)
so i did that!.

but i'm always wishing and thinking about being recognised
i mean getting down to fourth even fifth call back is amazing but then when it goes to someone else all the time you start to feel like there's something wrong with you

am i being totally pathetic!?
i know rejection is all part of the process but sometimes i just feel so convinced that i'll never succeed!.

please, some kind words!?
or people with experience!?

thanks

I totally understand what you're saying!. I can't have an agent because my parents don't want me to get hurt, but I do my school musicals and plays and I know I'm good, but i'm not a great singer so I can never get a lead role!. I've considered quitting a lot, but i've always stuck to it!.
My advice is, no matter how much you get frustrated, maybe this role just wasn't the one for you!. you have to find a role you completely connect with and love to be able to play them so successfully that you'll be cast!.

Good luck <3Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need more acting experience,like in school or community plays!. Do that!. Learn to be more vivacious, that is the key!. And learn to be more positive and take an auditions class!. You are just starting, if you get one out of 10 roles you audition for, you will be a great success!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
