Hey there – I’ll try to answer all of that – Being home-schooled can put you at a huge disadvantage. Learning to deal with whole classes of other kids is valuable, and it makes you a stronger person. But maybe you’ll catch up with what you’re missing when you go to college or high school when you’re older.
Almost all training for acting is done on stage, and it’s though stage work that new actors build up your resume. Being versatile is vital, and no good actor would turn down the chance of a role on stage. In fact, most actors prefer acting in live plays – they get such a buzz!
It’s real, the story gets told in the right order so it all makes sense, and of course, you get applause at the end! And now for the rest – 1) There’s a lot of repetition in acting, but as you’ll be lucky to get more than two or three weeks’ paid acting work a year, that’s not a big deal. The rest of the year you’ll need an ordinary job just so you can afford to pay your rent, bills and expenses!
But in life, you’ll find that you’ll often have to do the same thing for days on end. You’ll have to learn to deal with it. 2) Nerves you can get over.
As you grow up and get more experience, and get a lot of really good training, you’ll be fine. 3) Now this is something you’ll have to get over. Most of an actor’s working life is spent taking direction.
If the director tells you to say a line or move in a certain way, you’ll have to do it, no matter how much you disagree. And ordinary life is like that as well – there’ll always be someone telling you what to do – get used to it! 4) Again, confidence comes with good training and loads of experience.
5) This is understandable – try to spend time away from your mom – sleepovers with friends, vacations with other family or friends, trips away – whatever you can. But as you grow up you’ll cope better. Give yourself time.
6) You have to grow a very thick skin as an actor. You’d be rejected, turned down for roles, criticised, laughed at, and so on, a dozen times a week. You have to learn how to cope with that or you’ll go nuts.
You just have to learn to not take it personally, try again and again and never give up. 7) It doesn’t have to be like that. If you’re strong-minded, intelligent, sceptical and refuse to be led astray, you don’t have to let anything like that happen.
Acting isn’t for everyone – you have to be very strong-minded, determined, dedicated and very talented. If you’re sure it’s what you want, get into a good acting class, get lots of experience, give yourself time to grow up and mature and you’ll be fine. Good luck – be happy!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
