Question
My daughter is very interested in acting.  She has been in many plays at school and she memorizes lines really fast. She travelled to Europe last summer for academics. I really would like to give her an opportunity for some acting classes.  Do you think I need to get her a portfolio?

Answer
Hi Tracy. Well I think she may be too young for the Senior camp and too experienced for the Jr Camp. But with her experience the senior camp may be fine. It sounds like the best camp for those interested in film acting. If they let her attend the Sr. camp then do it. Actors don't have a portfolio, they have a head shot and resume. If you write to me at kencosp@aol.com, I can send you info on how to do both as well as my ebook on how to prepare for professional acting.
God bless, Doc
