Would It Be Wise For Me To Leave College And Attend A Professional Acting School Or Conservatory?


I am 20 and an aspiring actress with no experience. I want to do acting because I am a shy person and want to get out of my shell more. I wanna get involved in a community or an activity where I can do something creative and share that with others. I am someone who likes to be creative, but haven’t really found my niche. I love writing and have written poems and stories since I was 5 years old. I have done acting once in my acting college class and really loved the experience! I did this in class play of Antigone and was a chorus member and even though i had a small role I still enjoyed the fact that I was apart of that experience. I wanna do something new and creative with my life. I love the idea of becoming different people in order to tell a story for the audience to enjoy, and one day i hope to be able to write a play too and hope the audience will enjoy it. However, I am currently a theatre major at my college and I don’t feel I am learning anything. To be honest I feel I am learning more about “What happens in acting” than What acting is all about and how to do it well. I want to a rigorous acting training where I can focus on acting and writing for two years or so. I want to be able to leave that acting school or conservatory with the proper techniques/ tools to become a professional actress.
So what do you guys think of this decision? I know I have to audition for these schools as they are competitive, but I am confident that I work real hard and practice and let my passion shine through I can get in somewhere. I haven’t put my idea into motion yet. It’s still a decision I am trying to work out.

Is It Ok To Get Into Acting For This Reason Or Am I Wasting My Time? Please Help!?


I am 18 and an aspiring actress with no experience. I want to do acting because I am a shy person and want to get out of my shell more. I want to test my limits, I’m tired of living it “safe”. I wanna get involved in a community or an activity where I can do something creative and share that with others. I am someone who likes to be creative, but haven’t really found my niche. I love writing and have written poems and stories since I was 5 years old. I have done acting once in my acting college class and really loved the experience! I did this in class play of Antigone and was a chorus member and even though i had a small role I still enjoyed the fact that I was apart of that experience. I wanna do something new and creative with my life. I love the idea of becoming different people in order to tell a story for the audience to enjoy, and one day i hope to be able to write a story too and hope the audience will enjoy it.
However, my family has side agendas of me wanting to explore acting. They want me to do it for the money and get discovered so we can all live comfortably (I come from a poor background), but I’ve seen on TV what hollywood can do to people and don’t really like the idea of it. But I still wanna try acting, because I have never been really good at anything and wanna try to be good at something for once in myself. I wanna do something I love. In life we all have one life to live and I feel if I don’t do this now then I will regret it for the rest of my life. I remember the first play that made me fall in love with theatre. It was the broadway play “Aida” and I just remembered saying to myself when i was 13 years old. “Wow! I wanna do that too!”. I want people to enjoy my work and inspire others too. To me acting is an art I feel doesn’t get alot of respect for the people who put their time and effort into it. So what should I do? Should I still pursue acting even though my family has hidden agenda’s or am I wasting my time? It’s just I am afraid if acting leads me into bigger opportunities my family will ruin it for me. My family doesn’t even know that I am studying acting as a theatre major, and am trying to get involved in theatre. However, they keep bringing it up like they already know. If u get what i mean?

How Reputable Is Wilhelmina Of Pa Modeling Agency?


I have a casting call with Wilhelmina of PA Saturday however I know a few things about scams, since I am a aspiring actress and have done my research to avoid these scams. I know all about John Robert Powers, etc. Based off of my research agencies only operate during the work week and not the weekends. Also Wilhelmina of PA does not charge a joining fee but will charge you to pay for your photo shoots (testing), composite cards, and other related marketing fees. Compared to the reputable Wilhelmina Models website does not allow access to portfolios unless you are an authorized clientele; whereas Wilhelmina of PA allows access to these portfolios. Also I would assume that along with the portfolios shown on the W. PA site there would be a listing of credible clients they have worked with thus far. Now take in mind that Wilhelmina of PA has just launched in 2009, also Wilhelmina of PA IS LISTED AS A AFFILIATE OF WILHELMINA MODELS. http://www.wilhelmina.com/affiliates.cfm So I am confused, why would Wilhelmina Models list Wilhelmina of PA as an affiliate if they are in fact a scam.
