I wanna be a singer but my parents are so set on me being a doctor but here's the thing (I HATE BLOOD). I can't even look at severe acne without feeling sick I've wanted to be a singer since I was in kindergarten and my aunt taught me the "Beyoncè" version of humpty dumpty but if I tell them I wanna be a singer they say no you're going to be a doctor because your Dad can give you a recommendation for college and you can get a schoslarship my parents are so set on that I bet they don't even have a college fund for me! HELP I NEED IT!!!!!

 

Hey girly, make a deal with your parents that you will go to college, but continue singing.  Your parents want a stable future for you (every parent wants that for their child).  You should bring up the doctor issue first.  Explain your issue with blood.  Make sure you stay calm.  After that, talk to them about going to school in LA or Nashville or NYC, somewhere where you can study at school AND pursue your dream.  Good luck!

I've always been interested in fashion, but i want to know what i can do to help myself get to becoming a fashion designer.do you have any tips or advice?




Hey girlie! Immerse your self in all things fashion -- learn all you can and, if you plan to go to college, choose one that is known for fashion, such as Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) or LIM College, which can help you further your craft

I would really like to be a singer or a fashion designer. I've had a dream of becoming famous since I was three years old and I'm thirteen now. I can draw some really good designs for clothes. I've showed my friends and they said they would totally wear it. But, on the other hand, I really want to be a singer. I have a really good voice and my friends said they would buy a cd if I made one. Which path do I choose? I'm afraid if I do eventually become famous, I will never live a normal life. What do I do? Please help me.




Hey girlie. At this point, take some singing classes and fashion design classes to see which one you like better. Then, you can pursue that route. And you're right. If you become famous, you probably won't live a normal life, but that's the risk you have to take when you're famous. Good luck.

I would LOVE to be either a singer/actress/model and wish i couldbe one of those. but i worry my singing voice is not strong enough my acting is not good enough or im not pretty enough it seems that tho i might want these jobs sooooo bad everythin and anythin is standing in my way of getting them. Singer is the main thing i want to be i LOVE music and could imagine having a job outside of the music industry. what do i do?? Frown xxxxx

 

Hey girlie. First of all, if you do not believe in yourself, you will never fulfill any of your dreams. It must start with confidence that you will make your dream your reality. You also have to be willing to put in 110% effort. I think you should take singing lessons to strengthen your voice if that is something you really want to do. Also, make a list of your goals and ways to achieve them.Hang it on the wall and look at it every day when you wake up. This will give you motivation. "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."

MOD! I really wanna be an actress/singer/designer when i grow up but wanna start getting famous like really soon i just dont know how. Any suggestions or comments? thanx Smile

 

Hey girl! You are talking to the right person because when I was younger my dream was to become an actress as well! I was lucky enough to have gone on some auditions and explore the field for a while but eventually realized it wasn't for me! Before you get involved in the industry you should think long and hard and know that it costs a lot of money, requires traveling, and sometimes you may get really down if you don't get the part! You also need to be careful and watch out for scams, they are a ton! If you are serious about this then talk to your parents about getting an agent and always keep your head held high! I couldn't have gone on auditions without my mom, she was there for me every step of the way! Goodluck! XOXO
