Question: Could I pull of being an actress!?
For a as long as I can think I have wanted to be an actress or a designer!. The past few years I've been following the designer path, because people kept telling me that I'm not pretty enough to be an actress!. Too short, too different!.

However, I got cast as a lead just now!.!.!.so that flicker of hope is coming back up!.!.!.

Actors come in all shapes and sizes because they by and large portray people who come in all shapes and sizes!. Pretty enough or too short is not a factor!. Do not listen to people who have no clue what they are talking about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Being an actor/actress takes a lot of hard work and commitment!. It's not all about looks!. At the end of the day, you could win Miss World, but still be beaten by a potato in an acting contest!.

Getting cast is a start, but any role in a school/college/community theatre production is just one of the first steps of a long, and very difficult road!. I've seen seen people proclaim themselves as an "actor" because they get cast in a community theatre show, only to watch them forget their lines, or turn into a wooden block!. To become an actor, it takes years and years of training!. Even the actors at the top of their game still take courses and workshops to improve their skills, and keep them up to date!.

Good luck anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

whoever said your not pretty enough tell them to go away! you should folow your dream or youll regret it when you're older!

besides they dont look at what you look like, first they look at how you act then at if you face would suit the part! the only thing you have to be pretty for is modelling and you get ugly people doing that !
try auditions, you obviously wont get every one but dont let that effect you, some people have to go through hundreds of auditions before getting a part!. you should also try things jobs like extras because that will put a good name on your acting record and youll have more of a chance in auditions, remeber to keep updating a CV becuase even with little acting jobs like a line in a tv episode is good on your CV so keep a record of what you do!
whoever said that was probely jelouse ignore them and follow your dream!

Good luck
