You're not a struggling actor. You're an actor. Keep up the good work!

You have the looks of a top actor already, keep grinding and improving and you will get there! You got this! Never give up!

Thought I'd give some advice here so I spoke to my friend who is a UK actor who has done it for 19 years, he is really quite successful and who I have worked with as a production assistant several times. Here are his 3 tips....
1) Get some professional training.
Even if your the best natural actor in the world this shows your dedicated and will hone those skills. It will also teach you certain phrases you will hear on set and then you won't have to ask what they mean.

2) DO NOT under any circumstances mention social media in an audition. Casting directors hate it. They don't care how many followers you have and if you share everything on social media they may not want to let you see the script or be around any big names.

3) Be realistic and manage your expectations. Your never guaranteed your next acting role. 97% of actors either work or have worked regular jobs. Even some bigger names go back to regular jobs, you just don't hear about it much. Their not all as rich as you might think. Sometimes a big film might not pay much but it could lead to a commercial that pays more than you can imagine. You may be surprised what roles earn you bigger money....In this industry you've 'made it' if your getting a paycheck.

It was my dream to be an actor since 13, when I turned 15 I started learning acting, when I was 16 I got my first work!! I am 17 now iam getting alot of works, I can see my dream coming true!

One thing I've learned is to look at whatever you are doing as learning. I'm not an actor but I want to learn how to act which can come handy in life. Everything has its uses.

I’m trying to become an actor- but since I’m still young and can’t act very well I’m doing theater! So far it has seemed to help

[Gxport]

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve lived in nyc and la. Most actors have day jobs. Even pretty successful ones.

[katiefrey]

Your Gorgeous and I really enjoyed your honesty and video! Your awesome 👏 can’t wait to see more!

[notaulgoodman]

These kinds of videos are gold for future archaeologists or curious people. Just seeing how people lived their lives back then is cool and giving that chance for people in the future is even cooler.

I appreciate the realness. I do that as well as an actor who’s been in the industry for 13 years. I’m always real with new actors who take my classes or ask for my advice. I don’t lie or over glamorize to make my life choices seem grander than they are. Being real/transparent is super important.

Wishing you all the success in the world as an actress. I tried being a voice actor but sadly wasn’t marketable and couldn’t land a single gig.

[noahdowney]

I’m on the road to becoming an actor, I wish you the best of luck. You will make it

[anraymcneil]

You’re born to be an actress in every single way! I’m trying to be a working actor as well and I’m the same boat as you. You and I deserve all success and spreading it around the world. I believe in you, I believe in me and all the others trying to do the same thing❤️❤️❤️❤️🎁

[blueberryminnie]

I’m 31🔄 and I REALLY REALLYYY wanna be an actor… but my mom doesn’t think it’s safe 😕 but I want to start early so I could have a head start and being an actor/model is the only thing I dream of 😔
