Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It matters what you look like to a degree - if you have an extra hand, for instance, you couldn't play a character having a line about working with their two hands!. Teeth, however, are definitely not a concern!. I actually watched a documentary once where a casting agent remarked that she loved people with imperfect teeth, because it made them look more normal!. Most of the population isn't model-gorgeous, so most actors shouldn't be, either!.

Be confident!. Love and take care of yourself!. Go for it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

no, you do not in fact need to be pretty!. Obviously there are some roles that need more!.!.!. "attractive" people to play them!.


But about your teeth, it's very hard to see teeth from the audience!.
A small matter like that can mostly be overlooked!.
So definitely try out, and if you don't make it, don't feel bad!.


I've seen the prettiest girl get shot down for a part because they thought someone else was a better portrayal of the character!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try out!. several years ago i did not have the best teeth and was worried about that as well when i tried out for parts!. I got in many roles, and m teeth were never an issue!. My singing, acting, dancing qualities, and personality got me roles!.
If you do get backstage, have fun with it!!! I found backstages can be just as much fun as being on stage! Www@QuestionHome@Com

it doesn't matter what you look like! they should pick you because your good enough!. not because your pretty!. and i am sure you are!. I have done both and i like them equally both are just as important!. Go and try out!.!.!.rock their world's and if you don't make it then go and do a killer job in stage crew! You will do what is right!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unless you're trying out for a role where it is necessary for the actor/ress to have nice teeth, no!. They're looking for someone to play the part, not someone to blow them away with a pretty mouth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pshh! Thats the silliest thing i've ever heard!. My good friend doesnt have "the look" and she was the lead in all the musicals!. So, try out! Or you'll regret itWww@QuestionHome@Com

Tryout!. IF you don't' get a part, work backstage!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
