Question
hello I'm eighteen turning nineteen very soon and I've been very interested in acting since a very young age. I don't get much support from the parental so now that I'm old enough to take charge of my own future I'm at a loss for what to do. I enrolled in an summer acting course last year and I'm afraid its going to waste because since then I've been working to make just enough money to pay my bills. I'm not looking to become rich and famous I'm looking to do something with my life that I feel is worth wild and fulfilling. I live in Vancouver and I need to know where to go to start training from the beginning so I can feel confident with my work for auditions to colleges.

Answer
Hi there, Angelica.  Thanks for writing.  

There are film and theatre schools in Vancouver.  Would you be able to begin taking 1 class?

You will find them in yellow pages or if you google them.  

Let's start there with some ideas.  Let me know if that would work for you.
