It's amazing how much your dreams change throughout your life. At 16 I wanted to be a veterinarian! :confused: In college I studied to be a medical technologist and actually got my degree in that and worked in the field for about a year. Then I was a wife and stay-at-home-Mom for years. Then I was a Tupperware Lady. Then, while I was studying theatre and doing community theatre I did silk flower design and even had my own store! :idea: It wasn't until I was past 45 that I realized how important theatre and directing was in my life and that it was really what I had been moving toward all my life.

Acting professionally is one of the most difficult careers there is. But if you have talent and are willing to work really hard, to study to learn the skills you will need and have passion, determination and perseverence, you too may have a chance to follow your dreams and to feel the joy of seeing them come true. Taking acting workshops is a great start for you. I hope you have a wonderful time with them.

Well said msdirector, I love people that make their dreams come true.
Heres to big dreams!
WELCOME ALL!!! :wave: :banana:

Hi every friendly body in this great website :)
I'm a new member and I'd like to read about the American literature in depth because I'm not American . I'm Arabic and I read a lot of the arabic literature , and some of the American too . Recently I came to America to study . I've been living at the pacific ocean caost for about 6 months , specificly in Oregon State . So , that's why I want to read more and more about America . I read a little bit about how the American essence came into being , but the most important for me is to know about the literature history and who were the most famous writers in the American history .

I abologize if there is any grammar or spelling mistake :D

thanks Pensive for giving us this chance to introduce ourselves :thumbs_up

Let's make our dreams come true!!!:lol:

Uh... that wasn't exactly what I said, Toni. I said to follow your dreams. But I also said that those dreams may change over time. Never giving up on something just because you've decided you want it can waste a tremendous amount of time and energy. After all, what would have happened if I had never given up on MY dream of being a veterinarian and never found out that my true calling was in theatre?!!! That would have been a HUGE mistake. It was only because I was willing to open myself to other possibilities that I was able to find my dream and follow it.

I'm not saying NOT to follow your acting dream, Toni. But I am saying not to tie yourself into a life choice at 16! Try other things, open yourself to other alternatives, give yourself a chance to find out what is really right for you. When people ask me about pursuing an acting career, I tell them, as I did you, that it is one of the most difficult, financially insecure, unstable and risky careers there is. I tell them, if there is anything else that you can do that will make you happy, DO IT!

BUT... I really do understand a passion for acting, and I don't minimize the possibility that a young person could indeed have found her dream. If acting is truly right for you, that passion won't go away by exploring other avenues. And every experience you have in your life, everything you learn, every avenue you take will add to the knowledge and experience that you have to draw on as an actor. I loved acting as a kid, but if I had gone into theatre when I was 16 I wouldn't have been half as good at it as I was later in my life when I had real life experience to draw from. It was the fact that I had worked through my own problems and had come to understand what I really wanted that allowed me to find real strengths and weaknesses and let me find my way to directing.

By all means, Toni, act! Act all you can - audition, take classes, get into a good university theatre training program, follow your dream. But don't close yourself to the possibility that another passion might come along that's even better for you than this one.

One more little story, then I'll stop. My daughter always wanted to be an actor. She pleaded with me when she was in her teens to let her audition for commercials. For many reasons I said no. As she grew up she also realized that she loved kids and wanted to do something working with them, but her dream of acting remained. She chose her college - Brandeis University - for its excellent acting program, but also because it had a very good psychology department. After taking some classes and exploring a bit, she declared a double major in theatre and psychology. She graduate with a BA in both. After a year of working full time in an office day job to build up some money in the bank, she then worked part-time at an Equity theatre for another year and earned her union membership as an actor and stage manager. By that time she was happily married to a wonderful man who had earned his MA in lighting design at Brandeis. At that point she decided that the passion to work with children was stronger than her dream of acting. She went back to school, earned her MA in Child Development (interupted only briefly to have an adorable son who is now a year old), and is now working in the Foster Care system hoping eventually to work in Policy to make the world a better place for all those kids struggling in the system.

The point is that she was smart enough to know that we learn and grow and change as we go through life, and we should be smart enough to recognize that dreams change along with us. I love her dearly and I am so proud of the choices she has made. She would have been a great actor, but she followed her heart, not just her dream, and I respect that tremendously.

Sorry, Toni - I got carried away. I know this isn't an acting advice forum and you certainly didn't ask for mine. But I've seen so many people hurt by this industry that I can't help putting my two cents in when I can. I truly hope that you enjoy your acting, whether as a career or a hobby, and, if it is right for you, that you find it to be everything you hope it will be for yourself.

Hi there, just recently joined. Hmm, something about msyelf....well I like writing poetry. I'm dying for some exposure and critique. Although I'm sure everyone here can give me such I have no idea how to post up my poems. Perhaps I can use this forum as a place to go to to find people who take writing seriously enough to offer different perspectives and interpretations. I'm a college student attending a junior college and planning to transfer to a four year that has a good writing program.

Oh yeah I think wolves rock, they are one of my favorite animals although I don't know why. Well hope I didn't bore anyone, maybe I'll hear from some of you soon.

i introduce myself and say hi

Hi I'm icecappuccino!!
About myself...I'm partly crazy because I always have random mood swings from extremely energetic to very depressed. I can be very precocious at times even though I'm not particularly intelligent. I become obsessed about things quite easily and can just as quickly become bored of them. One of my biggest loves in life is reading and writing, although I am a horrible writer. My current favorite author is Jane Austen. I am also into manga, anime, and fan fiction. And well...that pretty much sums up my very boring and somewhat odd self...oh and I like ice cappuccinos:D .

heya. I am many things but i would like to rid myself of association from those many things because of prejudice. im sorry, but everyone is consiously or subconsiously racist, sexist, weightist, ageist, religionist, and... yah.

so, i would like to be know as a person. a person with sometimes radical views. sometimes with views that would seem immoral to some...

and i live on the internet. on the internet, one can rid themselves of any association. that's why its so cool, no?

Hello

Iam a quite person. I like reading, cooking, and searching ofn the Interenet. Iam a Uinversity Student. Nice to meet you.

hi everyone.. im xantsurei.. ^_^ err--this is my first post actually though i am already a member here since last august 2006,,

Welcome back, bad-bold-baddad. :p

We are glad that you are back here with us to joke around. :p

hey,welcome back,baddad:)

and hi to all new comers:)

Hello all!

I've been around this earth for more than a few years. If there is one word that describes me, it is "curious." As a result I have done a number of things from teaching elementary, high school and university as a profession. Earlier I had studied acting in NY then, while on a sabbatical I studied bookbinding and restoration in Switzerland. I have always done watercolors as a hobby and though I have had a few shows, I simply enjoy doing it and don't have the moxey to set up shows.

Xsant and Hay ,welcome here:)

Hi Noraaaaaaaaaaa:)

you are the second Nora we welcomed this week:)


have a good time here,dear.

Hi everyone, this is my first post in this site. i'm feeling quite lonely today, actually, and that's why i've decided to write. i'm a psychology postgraduate student and i love reading, playing music and tango dancing. nothing interesting, now i see it written! i will stop here, and stay alone with my black thoughts (although i'm not sure if the phrase "black thoughts" really exists in english!)

Hi there Mafalda!
Now I would say that reading, listening to music and Tango dancing are pretty nice pass times :nod: . What do you like to read, and what sort of music do you like to listen to?
How did you happen to learn the Tango? I love to watch but happen to have two left feet, and would probably fall if I tried! :)

English is your second language? Which is your first if I may ask?

I'm a newbie here too, so Welcome!

Hello,

I came across here on one of my google hunts. Looked cool and joined which is rear really that I do that.

Lets see I quess a small introduction is exspected ...?

I work part time am a single mum of two girls. I love playing in paint shop pro where I run a forum for with my best online friend. I enjoy reading, many different genres. I love painting but my pc does take way to much time of my free time these days that unfortunatly my painting time is nihil at the present. We are planning to work on that. English isn't my first language.

Anything else you would like to know ...? Ask and I might not answer ... :p

hello newbies!
:wave::D

Hello
I've come back afeter a long long time. I've nver been an active user, and it (unfortunately) won't change, so I appologise everyone who wanted (or will want) contac with me and didn't (won't) get reply.

I love reading. Books are (almost) the whole world for me. If I could I would spend all my time reading :) . Alas! Medicine is very demanding studies, so from time o time I'm trying to steal a bit of time, for my hobby, but usualy it isn't enough. The good thig in it is, that books for medicin are very very thick :)

What's more? I don't know. I think it's the longest post I've ever written ;) so it's tme to finish it :)

Hi plainjane! I mostly read fiction, but I also like reading books about philosophy, politics, etc. I used to love poetry, but it' s been some time since I last read something I liked. And I love comics - well, the truth is that I read almost everything that falls into my hands! What do you like to read..?
About music...I like classical music, jazz, rock but I'm open to anything new and good. No, English isn't my first language, but I don't want to say my first yet, because it will be like saying which country I am from. I started Tango lessons accidentaly, after seeing an advertisement for free lessons for beginners in some bar...and I fell in love with it! Now I'm starting my second year, but the price is both in money and time...well it's worth it!
Thank you for your welcome!
