How long did it take you to realize that acting is what you wanted your career to be?
I am 14 years old. I want to be an actress but I have not looked deep into what I can do to get there. I was just wondering how long it took you to start looking into where to go that be a step closer to being successful in the acting business. I'm not sure whether its my lack of motivation from others and even myself, or just me being a teenager and just wanting to have fun. I want to know the estimated time it takes to actually know that you want to become serious in becoming an actress/actor. #career-choice #acting #arts

Hi,
I am currently a sophomore at Berklee College of Music, and it took me until NOW, to realize this is definitely what I want to be doing. It takes a lot of time and devotion. In high school, you don't get very much time to focus on your solo career especially as an artist. College really helps you to decide what you actually want to do because you get to focus specifically on your one passion.
If you think you could attend a school and act all day everyday, memorize lines all the time, be up against very tough competition and not let it get to you then definitely go for it! It's all about passion, and want. If you want to do it and believe that you can, then you should!
