You can do whatever you want, be anything you want !.So your a little overweight follow your dreams !. There are jobs for people of all sizes and of all ages !. also talent agents book people with talent and if they believe they have enough confidence ,self esteem and enough potential to make it in the big time !. If you have that you will succeed !.If you let your weight bother you it will hold you down and you wont achieve your full potential !. So keep on trying and your weight has nothing to do with your acting career !. It is worth it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am also slightly overweight for an actress (strike 1) and I also sing alto (strike 2)!. I have been casted as a lead in every single show I've been in!. I was in Grease, Beauty and the Beast, Suessical the Musical, Godspell, and that's just naming a few!. Don't let someone tell you your appearence is not good enough!. You can do everything those 100lbs girls can do and then some!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's definitely worth it!. Overweight people get just as many roles as underweight people!. There are roles for people of all types!. Some roles specifically call for somebody a little heavier!.

By the way, do you have an agent and headshots!? I recommend getting those, as they are the key to getting auditions!. =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course it's worth it!. If it's your dream and if you're passionate, you should go for it!. Fight til the bitter end!! And don't worry about you're weight, there are plenty of actors and actresses who are overweight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Chase you're dreams and do what ever you need to do to get there!.
If you're overweight it doesn't matter as long as you have talent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
