My dream is to make it big as an actress in an American Netflix series as the leading actress.
Unfortunately, I live in the last dump in Germany and to be honest, I really don't feel like playing in a German series because the quality of it just doesn't suit me.
My goal in life is that when people hear my name they think of a successful person who has achieved a lot in the theater and show business.
But since I now live in Germany, that won't work, and moving abroad permanently will only cause me financial difficulties.
But what I've been thinking about is that I might do an exchange for half a year and in this half year I could somehow take on small roles for a year to get to know the whole thing, so that when I have found a solution, I can play the big roles.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution yet, my parents think something of acting but they think that you can't really make a living from it.
And that's why we would never move away.
But it's just a dream of mine and in all seriousness you only live once so why not damn it.
If it helps, I'm 14 years old, soon to be 15, speak fluent English with almost no accent and I have friends and family in Las Vegas, although I could of course stay with them, but the main locations where the filming is usually Atlanta or Los Angeles.
Maybe to get an idea, if you know Millie Bobby Brown, she's my goal. Unfortunately, I can't start as early as she did because she was already in the spotlight at 12 and at 13/14 she had interviews and people celebrating her. That I can become famous and that I can reach people, that I can motivate people to do and attract better things, that is my goal
I firmly believe that my future life will be characterized by success and happiness, because I know that when I think of good things, I will only wear good things, I'm very optimistic.
The dream of being the first person to set foot on mars is just as widespread at this age.
ask aunt gugel how many german-speaking actors have made it to hollywopod. Out of a hundred thousand good and excellent ones, barely a handful.
Do you have any acting experience at all? Have you ever stood on a stage or in front of a camera? First of all, make sure that you gain experience and find an agency that will take you.
Don't hold it against me. But you are totally naive. "I want to be an actress, but I don't want to do anything for that."
That's how it reads. Do you go to drama school? I haven't read anything about it here. German productions (especially films) are sometimes of absolutely high quality compared to other countries. There are many people who really went to drama school, lived in the US for years, went to hundreds of auditions and only got small roles (if they're lucky). This is not uncommon but applies to a large part. On the other hand, you want to start at Z even though you fail at A.
The rest waits or gets by with other jobs…
Well… I'll leave your knowledge of English aside, but you don't mention one point besides your supernaturally high demands. The question is whether you have any talent for acting or any experience in the field. Being able to speak English is also not enough, you need language training. Singing lessons would be good, training or a degree in the relevant area would be even better.
Preferably in the UK, or in general towards the stage, because stage actors are completely superior to pure film actors in terms of voice.
But what I've been thinking about is that I might do an exchange for half a year and in this half year I could somehow take on small roles for a year to get to know the whole thing, so that when I have found a solution, I can play the big roles.
But you already know that these things are usually student exchanges and that you have to go to school, etc. Besides, it will probably not be without the consent of your parents, who quite rightly assume that acting in general is a jobless art walk.
With that in mind… Maybe work out the dream a little better. And gain experience in Germany before you work your way into the international market. The likelihood that you will speak so without an accent in the USA that you will be preferred to others is rather slim.
If you don't like the quality of the German series, you will never make a breakthrough. How do you think the great actors started?! In the worst movies and series of all time. Nobody falls up the ladder. You have to work for that. And you won't be an exception.
Once again, I apologize for making myself wrong so people get me wrong. I know, of course, I can't start at z, and I'm also very aware of the effort and strain of this job.
I forgot to mention that I plan to go to drama school to see how my acting affects others.
