Question: Ok, So I Want To Be An "Actress"!.!.!. [[please help!]]!?
ok, so I've always really wanted to be an actress but i don't think ANYONE who knows me would ever expect it!. I'm kind of shy and not super outgoing but I know i'm ok at acting when i'm by myself (as creepy as that sounds) my best friend is an absolutely amazing actress and it makes me so frustrated that she can be so good and know exactly what she wants!

do you think I'll ever have a chance at making it as an actress!?
it's ok to be brutally honest, i think i know the answer anyways i guess i just need to hear it from someone!.

also, I'm really interested in horses, I've been riding for about 4 years, do you know anything about training horses for movies, it's also something i'm rally interested in!.

thanks so much for your help!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you need to believe in yourself more! You should start going to acting classes and get involved in theatre and stuff!. It will improve your confidence and your acting skills!.
ask your friends if she has acting classes, if she does ask where then maybe you could join too!
Not many of my friends know that I love acting and want to be an actress, only my closest friends, but so long as YOU know thats what you want to do and you BELIEVE in yourself then anything's possible!.
I think the training horses thing is a good idea, theres LOADS you can do to do with acting and theatre etc etc that doesnt actually involve acting if you think thats not for you in the end!.
Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey,
I've always wanted to be an actress too, and it's nothing wrong with being "jealous" or frustrated because it's normal!. Why don't you take some drama lessons!?
It helped me so much; I used to be a shy girl myself, but drama schools boosted my confidence so much!.
It's never too late to try, and when you don't try you regret it!.
It's not easy being an actress so give it all you got and the rest will come!.



Good Luck

well, here's a tip!.!.!.
When you get in front of the audience, if you don't know them, so they won't say anything and if you do know them, they might not discourage you and if they do, it's just a(some) person(people)!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just be yourself!. A lot of actors and actresses were shy growing up!. Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy used to be shy!. You just need to be confident and believe in yourself!. I want to be a famous actress too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

okay!.!.!. I am gonna be completely honest!. there are so many people out there who say they want to be an actress!. the only people who REALLY get acting jobs are people who are absolutely dedicated to acting (whether it's musical theatre, movies, commercials, etc!.) you can't care how big the part is!. it's all about experience!. if I were you, I would start out with community theatre or your school play!. then, if you decide you enjoy acting!.!.!. you can look for auditions in the newspaper or google "auditions, current year, city, state"!. if you enjoy acting and singing you could start voice lessons!. (this is how i found out about my first movie audition) and don't be depressed if you don't get a part in a movie!. it's all part of the business!. rejection!. so!.!.!. well, yeah, that's allWww@QuestionHome@Com
