I’m in such much pain, I feel I have no chance to be a big famous actress, I’m afraid I will never be able to escape from this s***** European country. I live in a small village and there are no acting classes around me, I would go if there would be any…I would get involved in my highschool activities if I would have a decent house but my house is horrible I don’t even have a bathroom. We are not poor but although the money aren’t enough for renewing the house, I am afraid that I would have new friends from the city I go to highschool and they’d want to come at my house. I don’t get close to people because I don’t want them to find the real myself inside. I’m exhausted of lying and hiding and I get closed off. Everything I do is to cry and look online for castings online(like to put a video of myself and someone to choose me, I know that’s not possible ) because it’s impossible to go like in New York and there to be a possibility to lose the audition. I wished I was born in USA or UK because there I could have been an actress even now that I’m a teenager(15) not after College. I want to go to LAMDA in England but I don’t know how am I going to pass the audition with no experience. I’m tired and sick and yeah that’s it.Sorry for my english

Are you central or Eastern European?
I can say both
Czech?
no..
Do NOT give up on your dreams!!!!! Lots of actresses come from all different backgrounds like Lupita Nyongo and Gal Gadot. Watch Lupita’s oscar speech, she says no matter where you’re from your dreams are valid. Dont call your country shitty, stay humble and remember your roots and work hard. Never forget where you come from. You may have to work harder than others but you can do it. Use your frustrations to motivate you. Practice on your own as much as possible. If your school has plays, get practice there by being in some. Make youtube videos of monologues if you can. Dylan o brien got an agent after they saw his youtube videos. Work and save up the money to come to the USA when you’re older. In LA and NY theres so many acting studios and independent projects that help build a resume regardless of your past acting experiences. Or go to England like youre saying. You are 15, so young, with so much potential. Please dont give up on your dreams.
Also dont let your home circumstances scare you away from the school plays/activities. Anyone who is actually worth having as a friend wont judge you for that. And they wont matter in the long run. If you really wanna be an actress, you cant let others’ negativity bring you down and you should definitely try the school activities to get a better feel for it. You’ll be more confident with future auditions
every single word you said is true..I call my country shitty and I shouldn’t but I’m just mad because people are so mean in my country, and because of these people, a lot of talented people can’t improve, can’t do what they love. It’s a lot of bullying and I’m not scared of what my true friends might say about my life conditions, but it’s a lot of gossip too and many times a lot of students ruined their lives. My brother killed himself 3 years ago because of bullying and bad doctors, that’s why sometimes I call our country shitty, because here people kill people and at the end no one is guilty, no one pays for their actions. I work a lot at home, I learn monologues and I filmed myself, but maybe I’ll post them online. I feel I am an artist, I draw, sing, dance, write poems but I know I have to be an actress. Thank you for your time, it means a lot.
I’m sorry to hear about your brother and the unfortunate circumstances of your country :(. You must fight and overcome. If you keep your dreams in your mind anytime you are faced with struggles and adversity I promise it will help you power through and you’ll be one step closer to your goals. And you can use your platform and influence as an actress or artist in general to help bring awareness to the injustice in your country and you’ll have the money to help people. Who knows? It can happen. You just have to keep pursuing what you love to make it real. Wishing you the best!!
Thank you a lot!Sometimes I feel that if my brother wouldn’t have done that now he could help me to get over all these things.I have this dream: when I will have played some characters in some known movies I will come back to my country and I’ll organize some castings for people with no experience or studies in acting, dancing, singing, drawing and I’ll choose some really talented people for a series. I really wish to write a script because I have
a lot of ideas and I wish I’ll be able to sign a contract with Netflix for my series. This will be in my native language but with subtitles in many languages, expecially english. Thank you for giving me hope!
