Question: Will my weight affect my acting audtions!?
I have a little extra fat on me but I've already lost 13 pounds!. In clothes, I just look like I'm big boned and not fat, because some of my family is!. If I havne't lost more weight by the time I get out of acting school, do you think it will affect getting picked!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It depends on what kind of roles you want!. It doesn't sound like you're obviously overweight or anything, but if you want to get a variety of roles I think it would help if you stayed on the healthy rode and keep taking off the pounds!. I'm not saying that having a little extra fat will completely impair you from getting picked, but it very possibly can put a limit on how often you get picked!. Do whatever makes you happy, but I think that losing weight will create even more possibilities in the acting world for you!.

Good luck,

Honestly, it really depends on what you're auditioning for!. Obviously, if your over weight, that will not be a problem!. i know this because there are many actors in movies who are over weight!.

However since your losing weight i really don't see a problem!. Actors come in all shapes, sizes, skin tones, and ethnicity!. It all depends on what position you're auditioning out for, the judges know what they are looking for!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've only acted as an extra in a few movies!. My input on this is it depends on what kind of role it is you are trying to get!. I read Camyrn Manheims book a long time ago!. She would only take rolls that had substence!. She tried not to take a roll that poined out that she was fat!. I think she's a great actress, she just happens to be a little bigger then most women!. Her talent shines through!. If you have talent, it will shine though your size as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
