Default Re: New to acting, need advice!!!

Ok I'll tell you what i want to do. I want to go straight for it. i dont want to go to college, but my mum is making me. Because like you said, we never know when our big break may come. But since my mum is making me go to college, I shall be majoring in the Arts [Drama and Art]. College, then, actors always need to experience new things, and this opportunity could add to that. Experiencing new things, and being exposed to new ideas.

Personally I say though, that your big break only comes but maybe once if ever, college is always there. So, by that, which would you choose? See what i mean?

Well, so as i said a back-up is never a bad idea, but it can be the factor that you have to choose between finishing your education or going for the big time if you're discovered. I would go for teh latter, because acting opportunities never stay there forever, college does. You can always get into a college, you cant always have the acting opportunities, because if you pass it up, execs will go to the next actor in line.

Acting is your passion i can see, make the right decision. Im not trying to tell you what to do, but we actors and filmmakers must make decisions that are crucial in our lives and choices that some of our relatives or friends may look down upon. If you anger a friend or family member in your decision, i advise you to pay no mind to them. They should not try to divert you from what you want in this life. Do what your heart and your soul tells you...... Listen to it.
