Answer
Hi Dakota, It is easy to get excited about acting from the first thrilling experience on the stage. Perhaps it will turn out that you have great talent and can become an professional actress, but it is a long and difficult path. Do not get in a hurry, that will only get you scammed out of your money.  If your dad truly supports you, he should find you an acting studio to train at and some community theatres where you can perform.  I think both you and he should go to my website, kenplonkeyacting.com, and read my blog all the way back to last August and my book and anything else there of interest. Then you both can ask me questions via my e-mail which is on the site as well. God bless, Doc
