I want to be a professional actress, but I’m not sure if I’m any good. I also question if I want to go into show biz only because of the money and fame. 

Dear In the Spotlight,

It’s great you’re thinking ahead and asking yourself career questions. But take one step at a time, and be realistic. Most actors don’t make millions of dollars—most wait tables to pay the bills in between the occasional TV commercial. Even the rich-and-famous have to deal with problems like the rest of us. For now, develop your talents. Another big great way to practice? Audition for a part in a community play or school musical. Break a leg!

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

What I would do if I was really desperate was try out for one little gig, and if I got it, I'd see how it's like to work in a TV show or movie. If I like it, then I'd want to do more. If it's pain, then that would pretty much be it. Good luck!

I want to be an actress. I am already in a theatre class. My parents aren't that thrilled that I want to be an actress. How do I tell them that I want to try to audition for local theatre and movies.
