Unsure


Question Posted Friday July 9 2004, 11:20 am

Hi everyone, I'm a 14/f, and i'm unsure of what to do. For the past year or so I've been really passionate about wanting to become an actress when I grow up. I've loved acting and pretending all my life, and last year i decided i wanted to make it my career. I told all my friends and my parents, and now they're all rooting me on to become and actress. Here's the trouble. Lately, I've been losing passion in it. Not that I wouldn't like to act, but i think I've decided that I don't want to spend years and years hoping for a break in Hollywood. I've decided that I want go into modeling for two reasons 1.) i don't think i'm gorgeous, but i think i'm pretty enough where I could do it and become (hopefully) famous. 2.) Modeling sometimes leads into acting jobs. what do you think? Should I keep up my 'dream' of becoming an actress, or should I embrace the new dream of becoming a model?
thankz! ~unsure

the same thing happened to me.i alwyas wanted to b famous in a band.but lately ive been noticing i wanted to b a clothes designer.thats ok. continue to have both dreams.if something goes wrong with one thing then you will still have the other thing to think about.continue to work towards both goals.plus if you lose intrest in modeling and you wanna be come a actress then your practice wont be such a waste.also if you like ancting maybe you can b in a play or something.i mean for practice.you might even meet new people and maybe start to liek acting even more.

Well i do think you should keep the dream of being an actress in the back of your mind,becuase your right modeling leads to more things.Heck,just look at Tyra Banks!And if your looking for jobs just type in "modeling jobs (in your state)" but dont forget your school work,if your dreams dont work out you always want a fallback!
hope I helped and good things happen for you

Why not tell everyone you would love to be a acting model? There are alot of models acting lately. Why couldnt you be one? Follow all of your dreams, or as many as possible. Hope I helped you. Oh, and dont worry about it so much, your still only 14!!!

Welll it sounds like you really wanted to become an actress but then you doubted yourself so now ur trying to take what you think is the easier way...well it isnt and you should still try to be an actress. people dont take models as seriously as they just take actresses. has trya banks ever been in a good movie?? just think about it!

well i think you should try modeling because your right it probably will get you into acting but if you really only want to do it to get into the acting than you sould just stay with acting because if somehow you get into both than it will be too stressfull so do one at a time follow your dreams ask other people like family and friends wich one you think youd be better at and that will help you decide GOOD LUCK maybe ill see you on the front of a magazine someday!

Alrighty. Well I think that you should follow your heart. Whatever YOU like better, you do it. Maybe you are losing passion on actressing but who knows, it maybe that you have just done it too much recently. Try taking a break from it and see if your passion for it comes back. If not, then sure go into modeling. It is true that actresses and actors come out of modeling careers. Take Ashton Kutcher for example. He started out modeling and now he is a really hot actor making a ton of money! So follow your heart. Do what you really want to do and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Good Luck!!

Hey.Im 15 and i starting modeling and doing local commercials when i was 13. what usually happens is that when you start to model or act, along the line oppurtunities come along where you can model and act.and you said that you are unsure of modeling, try it before you decied if you want to or not.i didnt even want to do the commercials till my parents convinced me to do it and i found out i liked it.and you also seem like you want to do it just for the fame. dont do it for the fame, do it because thats what you want to do.it takes years and years before your famous for what you do,and NEVER be discourage if you dont get callbacks from the agents, just keep trying.
